Louisiana school turned ‘college fair’ into transphobic church event, students say

More than 2,100 high school seniors were taken to event that left many of the students traumatized, some attendees say

More than 2,000 public school students in Louisiana were told earlier this week that they were going to a college fair. They were then shuttled to what parents later deemed a sexist and transphobic church event which left many of the students traumatized.

On Tuesday, more than 2,100 high school seniors from the East Baton Rouge Parish School System - which serves residents of Louisiana's capital - were taken to the local Living Faith Christian Center under the promise that they would receive college and career advice, as well as free food.
