People from different faith backgrounds are uniting in Dearborn, Michigan, to fight against leftist indoctrination in Dearborn Public Schools.
The Washington Post reported that outrage over the sexually explicit content in the LGBTQ books in the schools began with Christians who then turned and “rallied the significant Muslim population” in the area to join them.
Local Islamic leaders pushed Muslims to attend a school board meeting held by Dearborn Public Schools weeks in advance and even used sermons as a platform to urge attendees to go.
“Some of those books are completely inappropriate for our children to read,” said Imam Sayed Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America, one of the most prominent Muslims in the state. “Some of those books promote pornography. Some of them promote homosexuality. We don’t need this.”
Hundreds of people attended the school board meeting earlier this week, which got out of control when the crowd learned that their public comments would only be limited to three minutes.
Hundreds of protesters packed a Dearborn Public Schools board meeting this week and shut it down with cries of anger over certain LGBTQ books they said are too sexually explicit for children. And now, some community leaders anxiously await a rescheduled meeting set for Thursday night as others call for calm.
A heavy police presence failed to prevent the Monday night meeting from descending into chaos as demonstrators took it over and then various factions within them jostled for control, shouting at each other. Protesters often ignored the requests of police officers to stop interrupting board members.
It was unclear who was in control of the meeting at times. Most of the crowd appeared to be in opposition to the books, but there were also a number of people with the the American Federation of Teachers union who showed up to support inclusion of LGBTQ people and others.
Protestors chanted “vote them out” and held up signs reading “Homosexuality Big Sin” and “Keep Your Dirty Books In The Closet” before the board determined the full meeting room was a fire hazard and decided to suspend the meeting before the public comment period, according to a video of the event posted by the school district. The school is currently reviewing six books in its school library including, “This Book Is Gay,” a book that gives the “ins and outs of gay sex,” and “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” a descriptive memoir of a queer, back boy.
“You see this frustration growing all across the country and in Dearborn we’re not tied to the left or the right on this issue,” Hassan Chami, a a Muslim parent of a Dearborn student, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We believe that education should be impartial. The media is trying to change the narrative that this is about LGBT. It is not. Whether this is a homosexual book or heterosexual book, sexually explicit material is immoral and does not belong in schools.”
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.
Protesters, upset about books in school libraries that they consider too sexually explicit for students, carried signs that read, “Keep your porno books to yourself,” “If democracy matters, we’re the majority” and “Protect the children,” the last one written out in five languages.

Lets get religion in charge of educating our kids that has worked great in the past, especially for the groomers
Keeping kids uninformed about sexuality is the best condition for pedos and groomers. It really starts to look like those that scream the loudest are either uneducated religious zealots, or actual pedos and groomers.

And what beautiful words to hear.
I'd love to see and hear more of this kind of unity among the people... people power.

I hope and pray you're right.
How Dare They Find Common Ground!
20 years ago I had to pay a Cover charge, and be 21+ to be exposed to alternative lifestyles...
Now kids compulsory education, involves parading insecure adults around in Dominatrix gear, with sexual overtones...For our kids, education...Really? We had to pay money for that because, it should be Taboo for young minds...

What are the books that are sexually explicit? Are they apart of class reading or just in a library?
I don't see the issue with pro-homosexual books as long as they aren't graphic.
I think the key is in the details here, which im having trouble finding.
Like what are the sexually graphic books about?
Kids have access to porn fairly easily today. I doubt kids are checking out books with boobies in it like its the 1970s.

You mean the books are pornography... 🤣I get that some extremely religious zealot prolly the same that would stone a mother for breastfeeding in public, see it as pornographie.
You can try and justify your sexual repression scheme all you want.
Your best bet to protect them is not by making it a tabu but by adressing it and openly talk about it all.
It's called education, you should try it some time.
