California high school students are going viral after video posted to social media showed them booing and groaning while their teacher played them a Pride video.
The incident purportedly took place inside a math class at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, according to a report.
CONGRESS CAN DO MORE TO PREVENT MEGAFIRES
A Pride flag appears on the screen and the students then audibly groan and boo, the footage shows.
When a same-sex couple kisses, one student pretends to throw up.
“Why are you showing this to kids?” another asks.
The teacher does not appear to take the student’s jeering well.
“Hey, I’ll warn you guys right now,” the teacher says in the video. “If you’re gonna be inappropriate, I will have supervision down and give all of you a Saturday school for next year. So knock it off.”
The footage has amassed over 9.7 million views on Twitter.
It is not clear when the event took place, but it did not appear to be isolated to just one math classroom.

“Some 10th grade students came forward to tell me that this video was played in ALL classes that day, not just math class,” according to the Twitter user who posted the video. “They’re upset about it and want the school to refrain from playing videos like this.”
The Washington Examiner reached out to the Huntington Beach Union High School District for comment but did not receive a reply.
