Video: A Heavy Police Presence Couldn’t Stop Them – Hundreds Of Conservative Christians And Muslims Joined And Invaded A School Board Meeting To Protect Their Children From “Woke” LGBTQ Policies

Monday’s Dearborn Public Schools board meeting never made it as far as the public comment period.

The agenda included a deeply contentious issue: the district’s policy for removing books from school libraries.

The meeting was attended by an overflow crowd. Most were young men, some led by Muslim religious leaders— a contrast to the largely Christian groups that have led other efforts to restrict books in Michigan libraries.

Some people at the Dearborn meeting held signs with anti-LGBTQ messages.

Many in the crowd were upset by one book in particular: “This Book is Gay,” by Juno Dawson. It’s a young adult non-fiction book on gender and sexuality. The book includes rough pencil drawings of male and female anatomy, which one group brought to the board meeting enlarged, on poster board, saying they were inappropriate for children.

The book was being reviewed for appropriateness by the school district after a parent objected. The parent also asked for the removal of five other books, which are also under review:

Push
The Lovely Bones
Eleanor & Park
Red, White and Royal Blue
All Boys Aren’t Blue

Hundreds of protesters packed a Dearborn Public Schools board meeting this week and shut it down with cries of anger over certain LGBTQ books they said are too sexually explicit for children. And now, some community leaders anxiously await a rescheduled meeting set for Thursday night as others call for calm.

A heavy police presence failed to prevent the Monday night meeting from descending into chaos as demonstrators took it over and then various factions within them jostled for control, shouting at each other. Protesters often ignored the requests of police officers to stop interrupting board members.

It was unclear who was in control of the meeting at times. Most of the crowd appeared to be in opposition to the books, but there were also a number of people with the American Federation of Teachers union who showed up to support the inclusion of LGBTQ people and others.

The majority however were Christian conservatives and Muslims who joined forces to protest a Dearborn Public Schools meeting in Michigan to protest the inclusion of “woke” LGBTQ+ books in schools that contain sexually explicit material.

Video below:

School staff explained that the district has a policy of not including media materials containing graphic and/or gratuitous violence, sexual content, expletives, or hate speech, and without literary or educational merit, in the library collection. Staff meet to discuss student or parent objections to a particular item, and meet with the objector to explain their decision.

The revised policy allows parents, if they object to that decision, to appeal it to a committee comprised of community, parents, staff members, and students.

As the meeting progressed, interruptions from the crowd became louder and increasingly frequent, despite calls from board members for decorum and respecting the right of others to speak.

Chants of “vote them out,” broke out when school board president Roxanne McDonald said a three-minute limit per speaker would be strictly enforced. The room was also far over its occupancy limit, and after the crowd ignored multiple orders for people to move into two overflow rooms, board members ended the meeting prior to the public comment period.

The meeting will reconvene in a larger venue — Fordson High School — Thursday evening.

The mainstream media ignored this moment of unity and not one media aired this video!

Exactly! Had it just been conservative Christians, they would’ve been arrested and jailed.

I’ll give the first $100 to the creation of a new MORAL MAJORITY, composed of anyone who has NORMAL values, whether religious or not. Such a moral majority, composed of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, ATHEISTS, or anyone who has the guts to fight back, and who is DOG TIRED of this bulls*it.

This moral majority should have a HEAVY political purpose: To VOTE OUT the A**HOLE politicians–wherever they are; whatever position in whatever level of government they hold, local, state, federal.

People in Churches, Mosques, Ashrams, WHEREVER, should create this organization, which would have PAID STAFF whose very job is to keep an eye out for these insane people who, for whatever reason, are purposely try to destroy society.

In the end these offensive books will be removed, only because of the Muslim population! The only thing more violent than a leftist is a Muslim and these people Will start to worry for their safety, one way or another because after your thrown from the roof tops, it’s too late to change your mind but it will change others minds.
