Arab-Americans form alliance with GOP in bid to ban explicit LGBT books from Detroit school libraries - as hundreds of furious parents join forces to rally at board meeting

An unexpected alliance has formed between conservative parents and Arab-Americans in Dearborn, Michigan, after a school meeting turned to chaos.

The groups have come together to stand up against the public school boards that are supplying their children with 'explicit' LGBTQ reading material.

A school board meeting was disrupted this week when hundreds of protestors denouncing books with LGBTQ content poured into the Dearborn Public Schools administration building.

Concerned parents from both camps were filmed chanting and holding signs against the decision to keep the books in school libraries.

Some of the titles concerned parents are coming together to object to include Push, The Lovely Bones, This Book Is Gay and Flamer - all titles that confront rape, explicit sex and sexuality.

The Republican candidate for Michigan attorney general Matthew Deperno attended the meeting and commented on the surprising united front between conservatives and Arabs.

'I think you'll find these are people with deeply held religious beliefs. We have to stand up for the First Amendment and people's religious beliefs and I think you’re probably seeing a shift in the Republican Party,' he said.

Local affiliate Fox 2 said the presence of the two groups 'was a nod to the unexpected alliance of sorts between conservatives and many in the Arab American community as their interests overlap on this issue.'

The majority, according to the outlet, of those who attended the Thursday night school board meeting were Arabic.

‘The Lovely Bones’ is certainly not porno. It is true crime. Efforts to combat the queering operation always fall foul of the puritan nuts who make the operation look silly.

Prior to 911, there was an effort to recruit Muslims to the Republican party.

It took 21 years but they might be coming back.

The West will undergo a necessary moral correction — perhaps it will be of Biblical proportions.

I agree. We might get our @$$es kicked first.

Too bad it wasn’t “mostly peaceful”.

How will the Justice department and FBI handle this? It’s easy to go after white, Christian parents, but Arab-Americans are a protected species. Get Black and Hispanic parents on board and the FBI would be screwed.

this is a red pill moment within that community... that community on social issues has more in common with the republican party then the democrat party. unlike the democrat party in areas like religious freedoms and family we are not pretending to get a vote.

I never heard either side say anything about an alliance. I think we just gave them a good ole pat on the back and told them a job well done.
