Muslim parents delivered passionate speeches against elementary schoolchildren in Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools being forced to learn LGBTQ sexuality curriculum against parents' wishes at a Tuesday school board meeting.
Parents, students and activists have taken issue over the past few weeks with the school district removing an opt-out option for LGBTQ sexuality curriculum.
"We [as Muslims] reject the implication that acting on our faith's principles is a willful means of harming others. In fact, we see it as a point of bigotry that some only care for our community and will only protect our rights when we assimilate to their way of life and ways of thinking," Sameera Munshi of the Coalition of Virtue said.
"Our faith is not partisan and our people are not backwards," she continued. "Part of the American dream of our people is that they pass on their values to their children. But members of this school board have mocked our values and have said we cannot be allowed to opt our children out precisely because they want to end that dream."
She added that Muslim parents have a constitutional First Amendment right to instill their values into their children. "[W]e ask that we at least have a choice for our children not to be forced to participate in celebrating or normalizing views that contradict our religion," she said.
Munshi argued students will learn about transgender individuals at an appropriate time as deemed by their parents.

It’s about time someone did.

Are they going to go after these Muslim followers now, such as doxing them or calling them backward idiots, or is that reaction only reserved for Christians?
They already have. I’ve seen it on youtube. A lawsuit was filed and someone posted who it was. Stating who the parents were. Some were Catholic, Some were Eastern Orthodox, some were Muslims.
I think the parents should go Jihad on the Board members.
What say you?
Don’t you just love it when one of these constituencies the libs think they have in their pocket finally realize how sick they are and turn against them.
Is it any wonder the entirety of the Islamic World is flocking to BRIChinaS+ for protection from the West. Everything woke, green, pervo, globalist America represents, the Islamic World fears and detests.
Wow! Something Christians and Muslims can agree about 100%. Christians and Muslims have a lot more in common about sex and promiscuity than one would think.
Anybody thinks the Muhammadans are not backwards obviously is facing in the wrong direction.
Now THERE'S a matter of opinion.
Actually, you are, but not for this reason.
'Members of this school board have mocked our values and have said we cannot be allowed to opt our children out'
Welcome to our world.
You may not have realized it, but settling down in the USA means having your culture dissolved into the greater mass. Just wait a generation and see what happens to your families.
She is to be commended for her bravery and excellent choice of words.
Reason and words must always come first.
Sharpening the scimitars comes later.

How every single parent is not screaming out against this is beyond the pale.
Involved in a parenting group calling this stuff out.
The books they want in the schools are homosexual pornography.
When will the Marxists say that they should be banned?
Beheading works for me.
Are moslems really anti-gay?
I’ve read of men prisoners being raped by guards, boys used for sex purposes in Afghanistan, and a man I worked with said he caught two men “going at it” near an oil drilling platform in Libya or Algeria back in the early 1970s.
Maybe their anti-gay stance is just a cover for what they really do when no one is around.
