Others were professed Muslims. Protestant and evangelical parents and families joined the protester ranks to make it clear to all that parents should have a say in what their children learn at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rainbow-dildo-butt-monkey-library-performance-for-kids-sparks-outrage\/\" title=\"\u2018Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey\u2019 Library Performance For Kids Sparks Outrage\">publicly funded schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The protest came in response to the introduction of six books featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/view-hosts-lose-crackdown-lgbt-porn-suggest-sick-workaround-book-bans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LGBT themes<\/a>, one book for each grade level through the fifth grade. But that\u2019s not what angered the protesters. They were upset that the Board of Education passed a no-opt-out policy. The policy meant that parents could do nothing to shield their children from being indoctrinated into the LGBT\/Marxist ideology.<\/p>\n<p>The no-opt-out policy is set to take effect during the 2023-24 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>Spectator political reporter Mathew Foldi tweeted a clip of the event. \u201cWhat do we want?

Every human has rights, every human can behave any way that they want.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cBut we are taxpayers. They [cannot] use our tax money for what they want. They have to use our tax money for what we want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using tax money for what the taxpayers want \u2014 now that\u2019s a novel idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just about LGBT-themed books. A larger concern is the discussion period that comes after the books are read. A rally organizer told the Times teachers can start sharing an \u201cagenda\u201d with the students during these discussions. This is not only a valid concern, it\u2019s frightening.<\/p>\n<p>How would you like it if your second-grader came home talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/soccer-star-sentenced-10-months-prison-voicing-thoughts-transgender-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transgender people<\/a> marrying people of the same sex or the like? How\u2019s a little kid supposed to process something like that?<\/p>\n<p>Another protestor, Saba Asrate, mother of two elementary-aged boys, told the Times the political class pushes LGBT issues, but they don\u2019t reflect those values in their personal lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hillary-clinton-donor-charged-police-find-footage-disturbing-sex-crimes-animal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[Hillary] Clinton<\/a> has one child, she\u2019s married, she\u2019s living [a] fancy life,\u201d Asrate said. \u201cGeorge Bush has twins, they\u2019re married, they are living a fancy life. And look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/obamas-return-white-house-unveiling-official-portraits-baracks-slammed-bizarre-background\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obamas<\/a>, the same thing,\u201d But when something negative [is] coming out, it\u2019s always targeted [at] poor people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>School boards determined to push LGBT ideology by stripping parental rights are not interested in education. They are comprised of Marxist political ideologues who are bent on the indoctrination of your children.<\/p>\n<p>How did this happen in America? A lot of people are asking this question. Leave it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2018\/12\/aleksandr-solzhenitsyn-men-have-forgotten-god-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn<\/a>, a Russian who survived the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-reveals-top-priority-plan-schools-expel-communists-terrible-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Communist<\/a> gulags, to say it best, \u201cMen have forgotten God; that\u2019s why all this has happened.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s getting that bad.<\/p>\n<p>Solzhenitsyn blamed the forgetting of God on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/govt-bailout-svb-may-help-chinese-communists-party-even-biden-family-gop-congressmen-investigate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marxism<\/a> in his acceptance speech for the 1983 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Men and women like Solzhenitsyn have been warning people about the evils of Marxism for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the world had never before known a godlessness as organized, militarized, and tenaciously malevolent as that practiced by Marxism,\u201d Solzhenitsyn said. \u201cWithin the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is the principal driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hatred of God would, of course, include rejecting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pastor-calls-vile-lgbt-graffiti-church-hate-toward-biblical-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biblical tenets<\/a>. Take, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Genesis+1%3A27&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis 1:27,<\/a> \u201cSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.\u201d Hatred of God means a hatred of His image. This is a hatred of humanity itself. It\u2019s satanic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMilitant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to Communist policy; it is not a side effect, but the central pivot,\u201d Solzhenitsyn continued. \u201cTo achieve its diabolical ends, Communism needs to control a population devoid of religious and national feeling, and this entails the destruction of faith and nationhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether they knew it or not, that\u2019s what the small band of counter-protesters at the Montgomery County rally were doing as they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/over-1k-christian-and-muslim-parents-protest-districts-dirty-trick-to-subvert-parents-rights\/\" title=\"Over 1K Christian and Muslim parents rally against district's attempt to undermine parental rights.\">stood waving rainbow \u201cpride\u201d flags<\/a> and playing classic rock. They were doing their part to destroy faith in God and America.<\/p>\n<p>One of the counter-protesters, John Zittrauer, a member of the Rainbow Defense Brigade, told the Times that any concern over there being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-horrific-psaki-says-not-teaching-5-year-olds-about-gender-identity-is-a-form-of-bullying\/\" title=\"\u2018It\u2019s Horrific\u2019: Psaki Says Not Teaching 5-Year-Olds About Gender Identity Is \u2018A Form Of Bullying\u2019\">inappropriate sexual content<\/a> in the books was \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Board of Education member Jill Ortman-Fouch told the Times the books aren\u2019t pushing a particular message.\u00a0 \u201cPeople have gay uncles who get married,\u201d Ortman-Fouch said. \u201cPeople have their own parents who get married to the same sex. That shouldn\u2019t be offensive to people, because it\u2019s literally the people at PTA night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Really? MCPS-approved titles for elementary school children include \u201cUncle Bobby\u2019s Wedding\u201d by Sarah S. Brannen, \u201cPride Puppy\u201d by Robin Stevenson, \u201cMy Rainbow\u201d by DeShanna and Trinity Neal, \u201cLove, Violet\u201d by Charlotte Sullivan Wild and \u201cBorn Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope\u201d by Jodie Patterson.<\/p>\n<p>Think of the discussion the woke teachers might have with young students after reading such titles. Grooming, anyone? Are you angry yet? Disgusted?<\/p>\n<p>MCPS claims its no-opt-out policy falls under the county\u2019s literacy curriculum. State law only permits parents to withhold their children from classes that teach human growth and sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>A group of Muslim and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/taylor-swift-halts-concert-deliver-message-young-fans-christian-parents-wont-like\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christian parents<\/a> don\u2019t agree. They believe that the books do address topics that are covered by the state\u2019s opt-out law. They took legal action last month.<\/p>\n<p>Three MCPS Board of Education members are up for re-election next year. The protesters chanted, \u201cVote them out.\u201d That may be the best way to combat the godless progressives who would erase parents\u2019 rights and replace them with a satanic totalitarianism.<\/p>\n<p>If you believe in a higher power that is good and true, put aside your differences for a time and unify like the voters in Montgomery County.\u00a0 Then get out and vote while you still have a voice.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/1k-christian-muslim-parents-protest-districts-dirty-trick-subvert-parents-rights\/\">Over 1K Christian and Muslim Parents Protest District&#8217;s Dirty Trick to Subvert Parents&#8217; Rights<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 1,000 protesters in Maryland&#8217;s Montgomery County united against LGBT-themed lessons, setting aside religious differences as they gathered outside a Rockwell school board meeting on June 27.
