An Iranian immigrant father in Virginia told local school board members recently that if they insisted on passing transgender-affirming pronoun rules he would make them call his children "king" and "queen" — and him "master."
The father issued the remarks during an explosive speech before the Loudoun County Public School Board on Tuesday. It was the same meeting during which one teacher announced she was quitting over newly proposed transgender-affirming rules.
The district would go on to pass the reforms, which allow transgender students to access school facilities and groups of their choice and requires faculty and staff to address transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns. Reforms that, according to this father, have no place within America's educational system.
"I grew up in Iran as a Christian. And when we went to school, as much as the government wanted to indoctrinate us, the teachers didn't allow it," he said. "They didn't try to shove propaganda down our throats like the Ayatollahs did."
"Now in the 21st century, we have social justice warrior so-called teachers trying to shove their garbage ideology down our kids' throats," he continued.
These are our children, not yours," he added defiantly. "Their job is not to raise my child or my neighbor's child. Their job is to teach our kids math, science, biology, literature, and that's it. Not ideology. Now you want to push garbage crap like 'pronouns.'
"How the hell does that keep a kid from succeeding? How does that help them?" he shouted. "You wanna push that garbage down my kids' throats, I will make you call my kids king and queen. That's how you will address my son and daughter. And when you look at me, you will call me master."
Loudoun County has served as the center stage of an ongoing nationwide debate regarding the implementation of transgender-affirming policies in local schools.
Earlier this year, the district was sued after it suspended a Christian physical education teacher for speaking out against the proposals during a board meeting.
The teacher, Tanner Cross, declared in the speech that he would not "lie" to his students and "defile" God by affirming that "a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa."
The board was scheduled to vote on the rules Tuesday but was forced to push back the vote due to an overwhelming number of community members who desired to weigh in during a public comment time.
Well, ‘queen’ does have some meaning in the gay community, ..., oh, never mind!
I think “Massah” would have a much better sound to it . . .
I’ve said for years whenever this comes up that I identify as Napoleon and demand I be addressed as “the general”.
Or “general, sir”.
“Comrade”
This guy was great - the best part was when he called the school board a bunch of Ayatollahs !
“I, i will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day....
I will address them as ugly bags of mostly water.
Eastern, Central Europe is looking better, currently in Slovenia, really thinking about moving to Romania or Slovenia.
I shall henceforth be known as Grand Puba.
Ah! A very good ST:TNG reference!
Well, since I've traced my family history to British, Scottish, and Germanic Empire royalty, including Holy Roman Emperors and Empresses, I think I'll start demanding they call me Queen, or Empress, depending on how hoidy-toidy I'm feeling that day.
"Well this is just a little Peyton Place and you're a bunch of Ayatollahs!"
Hmm, syllables don't quite work out, but it's close.
Napoleon? Why not “emperor “ instead of “general?”
So unless you already have kin there you will be the unwelcome outsider and both you and your offspring will have targets on you.
Just the way it is in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Pronouns are not for calling anyone anything. They are not used to address anyone. They are for speaking ABOUT someone. You do not say “she” to someone. It’s “you.” “You” has no gender.
Pronoun nazis seek to force people to use pronouns about them when they are not there.
Any such law or rule is invalid, illegal and unconstitutional.
What it really is about is the left’s intense hatred for the words “Male and Female He created them.” They would gladly sacrifice their lives to obliterate those words.
I’m tempted to declare “my pronouns” as “your” and “majesty.” How about we all go to linkedin or facebook and insert “pronouns” like “mxtrgh” and “vwdsca”. They wouldn’t dare deny us “our” pronouns! They’ll have to allow it! This will be fun! Let’s do it!
The day my daddy socked it to the Loudon County school board.....
Hahaha - I get the song connection !!
I think “Massah” is brilliant. It would immediately push buttons for a major group on the Left. So, do you offend the trans people by refusing to use the proper prnoun? (Unthinkable!) Or the black people? (Unthinkable!) Back these fools into a corner from which there is no escape.
