A Minnesota school district will allow parents to withdraw their children from LGBTQ lessons after six Somali Muslim families threatened to sue when books discussing gender identity where introduced to their elementary school classroom.
St. Louis Park Public Schools granted the opt-out requests in January and February after parents complained at a school board meeting in October there was not a process in place for them to exempt their students from reading LGBTQ material.
Several Somali mothers spoke at a school board meeting on October 24 claiming books that are against their religious beliefs were introduced to the children without their knowledge.
One mother, who identified herself as Ilhan, said a group of third-grade students were taught books discussing gender identity and families with two fathers.
'These books were introduced to our children without our knowledge or consent leaving us with no recourse to opt them out despite our sincere religious objection,' she said. 'We wholeheartedly respect the importance of affirming LGBTQ identities, but we are troubled by the way these books are being presented to our children.
'The manner in which these subjects are taught appears to exceed the boundaries of affirmation, urging every child to delve into their own understanding of gender and sexuality. This approach, we believe, directly conflicts with our deeply held religious beliefs,' Ilhan said.
The books Ilhan mentioned include Our Subway Baby by Peter Mercurio, which is a story about how two fathers adopted their son and My Shadow is Pink by Scott Stuart, which is about a boy who likes princesses and fairies and learns from his father that everyone has a shadow that they sometimes feel they need to hide.

Time to sprinkle “Somali families” all across the United States. At least six in EVERY school district.

I suspect that’s already been accomplished......or at least will be soon enough.
Notice ‘Christian Americans’ have no standing, only non-natural citizens with non Christian beliefs.
Everyone knows mooslems are crazy and will kill you if you don’t acquiesce to their demands..
Good on Minnesota.
Yes. The “violent extremists” (AKA Christians) can be forced to accept perversion the schools. Rub their noses in it. Teach those Christians that their hate will not be tolerated. They don’t like the message? Who cares?
On the other hand — if the Religion of Peace (AKA Muslims) don’t care for the sexual topics in schools ... well ... you better give them a way to opt out. Because ... you know ... they might blow up the place, or start chopping off heads. I mean, those guys are pretty serious. Best not to cross them. Just do whatever makes them happy.
Some animals are more equal than others.
What about non-religous parents who think sodomy is disgusting?
Do.their children have to submit to grooming at school?
Will these Muslim parents home-madrasah their kids?
Opting out doesn’t work. Start demanding “opting in”….they’ll see real fast no one would be interested in their perverted crap.
But the average Americans who attended school meetings and tried to speak were ushered out and put on watch lists as domestic terrorists by the FBI and other DOJ departments.
As the greatest threat to the USA.
Hey, I’m sure they would have done the same thing if 6,000 or so Christians have voiced the same concern ... or maybe not
Pretty ironic that the mizzies could end up saving our kids from these sick creeps.
Same thing happening in Britain where it's the Pakis who are standing up against forced LGBTQ+ indoctrination.
that sums it up perfectly=-
I read a source a couple of days ago that said this ability to opt-out ONLY applied to Muslims.
Even they have to kowtow!

A double-edged sword puts LGBTQ on defensive increases hostility to Israel.
