This should be an utter embarrassment for American Christians that a small group of Muslims can take on the government and win while Christians are.... where?
Muslim Families Can Opt Out of School LGBTQ Programs
and That’s Bad News for Biden
New in PJ Media:
A group of Somali Muslim families in the Minneapolis area has won a tremendous victory for themselves and for all parents: they’ve secured the right to keep their children out of the local school district’s LGBTQ propaganda. For that, all parents, both in the Minneapolis area and elsewhere around the country, owe them a debt of gratitude. The only people who could possibly find this disturbing are the propagandists themselves — oh, and Old Joe Biden, as it spells extremely bad news for the already fraying leftist/Islamic alliance.
The Daily Wire reported Thursday that the St. Louis Park Public School District west of Minneapolis “says it will let families opt out of LGBT curriculum materials after several Muslim families threatened to sue.” The Muslim families asserted that “not allowing families to opt out potentially violates the Constitution and state law,” and apparently the school district thought that they had a strong enough case that it folded, rather than fight them in court.
Of course, school district officials in Minneapolis, which has a significant Somali Muslim population, may not have wanted to appear so “Islamophobic” as to fight Muslim families in court. This was especially true because the families based their case on Islam: “on November 2, the families’ attorneys sent the district a letter explaining Islamic teachings around gender and sexuality and outlining the timeline of parents’ complaints about the LGBT books.”
The real pity here is that Christian parents and those from other faith groups didn’t join the legal case as well. The Muslim families acted after “some of the families’ elementary school children had been exposed to LGBT characters in picture books, which caused ‘significant confusion and distress,’” according to the letter the families sent to the school district. Christian and other parents have also experienced “significant confusion and distress” over this propaganda being forced onto their children, and they should have protested.
The propaganda specifically consisted of homosexual-themed books including “Our Subway Baby,” which features “two men who adopt a baby”; “My Shadow Is Pink,” which showcases “a boy who wears dresses,” and “Ho’onani: Hula Warrior,” which is a sly justification for men pretending to be women and dominating women’s sports, in the form of a story about “a young Hawaiian girl who wants to lead a boys hula team.”
The Muslim families asked that their children be excused from reading this material, but school officials refused, claiming preposterously that this smut and indoctrination did not “constitute instructional materials,” and thus parents could not opt out. That’s when they got attorneys on the case.
There is more. Read the rest here.
