    Roxanne McDonald banged her gavel repeatedly during Monday night’s school board meeting in Dearborn, Mich., where hundreds denouncing books with LGBTQ content packed into the Dearborn Public Schools administration building.

    It's not until the NINTH paragraph that WaPo mentions the word "Muslim." This is a predominantly Muslim district, and the vast majority of the parents at this meeting were Muslim.

    Will Merrick Garland & Biden's FBI try to have these parents designated as domestic terrorists? Of course not. Because in a Let's Go Brandon world, only straight white republicans are domestic terrorists, and all straight white republicans are domestic terrorists.

    Why do schools need to have LGB content for kids?

    Speaking of Muslims and gays, if every oppressed liberal victim got into a room, and I mean ALL of them, they'd kill each other because they all hate each other.

    It takes more than horns, according Biden, it takes nukes and F16s.

    Ever wonder what the Quran has to say about gays? Funny, you never hear anything from the left about that.

    Paypal puts an office in the heart of the Arab world where the decapitate them or throw them off buildings. But Paypal shut down their office in Charlotte over bathrooms laws no being mandated.
    Go figure.

    It's interesting how the article quotes the Muslim leader saying the books "promote" homosexuality when the books are about acceptance of it.
    Some on this forum will be saying that "We the people" should direct what books should be in the library so in this case there should be no problem with one book, the Quran, being there. What else do they need? Right?

    It’s interesting that the same people upset about some of these books also believe children should be taught religious texts which are full of child rape, murder, torture, incest, genocide — but two members of the same sex holding hands… that’s too far.

    Absolutely. America’s first significant encounter with that religion occurred in the 18th century, when our maritime civilians were being murdered and enslaved in the Mediterranean. In 1787, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were ordered to London to learn why and secure a negotiated settlement.

    Our two future presidents were received by the Envoy to Tripoli, Sidi Haji Abdrahaman. He explained very matter-of-factly (as reported by Jefferson to Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Jay) “… that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every Muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.”

    Daggers. Box cutters. Same difference. Jefferson was struck by the Envoy’s religious fervor & had a copy of the Quran translated into English. He openly advocated that every American should own one, so there could be no question what we were dealing with. Jefferson’s copy currently resides in the Smithsonian.

    Is the Quran that you’re speaking of taught in public schools? Some schools did have Dress Like A Muslim day which angered some folks…..only some.

    Note the world “should” and “religious texts” in my post. It’s laughable that you think this is only Muslims

    Yeah, we know how important it is for Democrats to gravitate towards having gay and trans sexuality conversations with 5 year olds.
    Especially since we don't even have straight sexuality conversations with 5 year olds.
    What is this attraction towards prepubescent children and introductions to Transsexuals that Democrats find so alluring?

    5 year olds are frequently exposed to heterosexual couples in books — pretty much any book with a protagonist and a female main character has a male romantic role somewhere.

    Why is it is not a sexual conversation when it is a heterosexual interest but it becomes one when it is a homosexual one?

    I don’t know why you are trying to introduce child rape into this, that is almost the exclusive domain of religious organizations and the fascists that fund them. Do try and stay on topic

    You mean like normal behavior.

    Transsexuality is better known as gender dysphoria. They call it that for a reason.
    Normalizing gay and trans behavior is not beneficial to 5 year olds in any way. And you can stop with the fake child rape bible stories for comparison. There isn't a public school out there that teaches the bible.
    So what is the big attraction to 5 year old children? Why all the hoopla? Why are you trying to defend exposing these children to gay and trans activities?

    I asked a simple question — why do you consider one a sexual conversation but not the other?

    Yes, because it is a psychological concern when led by distress.

    I disagree — teaching tolerance and that other population groups exist is highly beneficial to both development and integration into society.

    As to the religious child rape — if you want to throw in moronic jabs I will follow suit, mine is just based on fact though

    Do only children in public school matter or do the thousands of children raped in private settings not meet your level of concern?

    There is no “attraction” here but I am not a pedophile and hope you can say the same.

    As to “why” people push for representation and tolerance? It’s along the same reasoning that you see no issue with any of the heterosexual characters in virtually every children’s books that isn’t an abstract reading.

    The question is why do you have no issues when it is group 1 that you deem “normal” but suddenly take issue with group 2 that is following the same narrative?

    So when the child asks the teacher
    Why does Sally have 2 daddies..........the answer should be what? The teacher didn't bring it up, the child did. Are you saying that they should be told that the daddies have a mental illness and we shouldn't talk about it.
    This happens all the time. What's your answer.

    While heterosexual couples would be described in books, most children books carry an 'air of innocence' about them.

    I do believe that love as a concept can and perhaps ideally should be taught without invoking sexual verbiage, but that's just me.

    This is ultimately the point. Heterosexuality in schools gets no protests. You can bombard students with it as much as you want and nobody bats and eye. I wouldn't bat an eye either, because there's nothing wrong with it, just like there's nothing wrong with homosexuality.

    I was expecting to see mention of either "Florida" or "DeSantis" but it makes sense they push the same agenda. The difference is that in MI its just regular people pushing it, while in FL its the politicians.

    Why would they be designated terrorists?

    Because they are part of the world that we all live in. You can teach about a subject without that education being a sales pitch. Did you become a Nazi after you learned about them in school? Did you want to become a criminal after learning about the justice system? People, yes even children, are capable of learning about the world without without adding all the stigma and nonsense on to it that the adults do.

    Like it or not, your children(or perhaps your children's children, not sure how old you are) are going to be part of a generation that has less of a problem with these things than yours did because they grew up with them and didn't force them all to hide in a closet. You will lose this battle, because you will never convince the kids that disliking a group of people over nothing but subjective discomfort makes any sense. In fact, all but the most sheltered will be able to see the older generations complaining about this for what they are. And they will carry that lesson that you taught them into adulthood and teach it to their kids.

    That is, of course, why folks like you continue to want these things kept hush hush. You know you can't prop up the stigma facade if you let the kids actually interact with gay and transgender folks. It destroys all your attempts at demonization. You need to keep them as the boogeymen, and the only way you can do that(though this too will fail), is to keep them out of the light.

    I have watched this happen across the world over my lifetime. I have watched it happen in the small rural town I've lived in since I was 5. At least on this topic, your stance is a dying breed and will eventually be relegated to the garbage can of society where hateful bullshit like this belongs.

    Islam is very much not tolerant of the whole gay thing and these two groups are bound to clash now and in the future as the Muslim population grows in america

    This is the melting pot progressives wanted right?

    I wouldn’t count on your garland prediction. They threw women to the side for transgenderism so I’m sure they would do it to Muslims as well.
