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.

Why do you think they concentrate in their own little gettos?
And that is with the government pushing them on the very reluctant populous.
You will neither be pushed or supported and a lot of resentment of them will splash on you.
Vacation or even a couple of years is one thing. As long as you then go home.
And home is not there.
Just telling you how it is.
Do as you wish.
Thanks but ill think ill be fine, your opinion is noted however.
Hope you are correct.
I have people i work with who have property in the central and east, also one who just got property in Montenegro, no problems where they are, people just care to make good business and money.
I hope you are right, for your sake.
If I address someone by a pronoun, it is “you”.
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.
