Protest on pride

Sulayman Kone

By Sulayman KonePublished 3 years ago 12 min read

attacks on religious freedom targets

one's conscious the very core of their

being

the issue of gender and sexuality are

influenced by our faith and we should

not be caricatured as intolerant

and all and our face perceive to be

subversive because it doesn't align with

your beliefs intolerance of the faith

community threatens their Road support

for Religious Freedom therefore eroding

the benefits it provides for everyone

religious and non-religious

pluralistic societies that value human

dignity and do not view Faith

communities as a problem to be

eliminated will only Thrive and prosper

I respect to feel that you request the

restoration of the option at mcps thank

you

meanwhile there's probably about a

couple dozen on both sides of the aisle

here you have the lgbtq members

promoting pride month recognition in our

schools and then you have the parents

protesting that and the real challenge

here at the status of koi School in San

Fernando Valley on Ethel Avenue is to

keep the two parties away from each

other this video we shot just a few

moments ago and you can see it got

pretty heated they are both crunched in

both sides in this uh diversion or this

situation I should say uh is pretty

heated we'll come back out to a live

shot LAPD is coming for us now they set

up a skirmish line trying to keep the

two parties away from each other all

right guys so we got to talk about a

couple of stories okay that highlights

the uprising that is happening around

this country involving parents that are

fed up with their children being

indoctrinated in schools by far left

woke ideology that is being pushed down

the throats because the left is saying

that hey this is not happening okay it's

not happening

um they're not pushing pride in lgbtq on

children you're making that up right you

must be a Maga hat wearing white

supremacist bigot right this is what to

say what do you think it is in this

moment that has made

not just the lgbtq community but but

specifically the trans Community such a

Target there are there are no facts out

there that support that the trans

Community is coming after children right

and is trying to change things in fact

from all of our reporting and from

members of the trans Community I've

spoken with it's quite the opposite

people just want to be left alone to

live their lives in peace and be their

true selves why do you think there is

such a focus on the trans Community we

know the joy trans people have when

they're allowed to transition we come

fully into ourselves uh however um it's

just not Mega hat wearing white

supremacists that are upset okay with

what is being pushed on children in

schools

um you also have so-called parents of

color who are not Christian as well

either oh that are upset in fact they're

Muslim right and they're brown and if

you notice in the beginning of my video

um they're protesting against

white okay white liberals more

specifically okay and it's funny because

they're people that always come in my

comment section or they send me emails

like well you never see anything bad

about white people you never see

anything bad about them all you do is

talk junk about blacks I'm like bro

every day I do videos about crazy white

people they just happen to be liberal

right if you haven't noticed my bias is

not white versus black is sane versus

insane it's law-abiding citizens versus

criminals in criminal sympathizers right

that's where my bias lies I don't have a

color bias right it just so happens that

you know most black people tend to be

liberal okay and they tend to be on the

side of progressives who sympathize with

criminals okay

um and I've talked about stories like

this before in which you have Muslims uh

rising up and saying look we don't want

our kids to be indoctrated with this

stuff and that is the first story that I

have to talk about today in this video

uh which takes place out in Montgomery

County Maryland where you have Muslim

and Christian parents uh who filed a

federal lawsuit alleging that a

so-called quote no opt-out policy

violates the Constitutional guarantee of

free exercise of religion because their

school right or the school district is

pushing lgbtq books in school and

they're saying that look uh kids can't

opt out of not learning about that

material okay and that is caused uh

Muslims uh Muslim parents and Christian

parents as well too to come out and

protest against this policy because

again they don't want their kids to be

indoctrated with this stuff take a look

protesters and parents gathered outside

the school board building today while

board members listen to debate on the no

opt-out policy for certain lgbtq plus

books approved for the classroom our

Katie Barlow was at that meeting

well here's the gist Montgomery County

has approved a list of lgbtq plus

inclusive materials to be taught in the

classroom but they also have a policy

that says students and families cannot

opt out of engaging with those

instructional materials now one side

says it's important to have those

materials to teach kids about all kinds

of families and the differences among

all humans information is not

indoctrination they say but those

opposed say it's fine to have the books

but you have to allow us to opt out of

that instruction the government can't

force us to teach our children something

that we disagree with these things

should not even happen we should all

talk to one another love one another

respect one another it shouldn't be up

to a school system to Force One belief

or over another right or tell some

people how to believe and why not to

believe two weeks ago a group of Muslim

and Christian parents filed a federal

lawsuit claiming the no opt-out policy

violates the Constitutional guarantee of

free exercise of religion the suit

highlights books like uncle Bobby's

wedding a story about a young girl's

Uncle marrying his boyfriend and pride

puppy that for three and four-year-olds

invites them to hunt for things they may

find at a pride parade including a drag

king or queen leather and underwear

during the meeting today board members

listen to Advocates on both sides of the

issue meanwhile outside parents and

community members protested but took

time to listen to each other's

perspectives I mean exactly they're not

that much different right we're more

alike than we are different but we have

to respect each other's differences and

we have to respect I feel everyone's

right to see that people are different

from a very young age because they are

aware and they do see it you have back

to school night families come in with

two fathers or two mothers Laura and

hasham were not the only ones peacefully

debating the issue outside of the school

board meeting today sometimes a rare

sight at these hotly contested debates

at school board meetings we've seen

around our area there's no official

decision from the school board today

they were just hearing feedback from

community members yeah so this is

absolutely amazing okay and I would love

to ask any one of these parents that are

supporting lgbtq books being pushed in

schools with the no opt-out policy where

you can't opt out of having your kid

learn about this Dogma right I wonder if

they would be cool if uh we we had the

Quran or the Bible in school and kids

couldn't opt out of learning about it

okay because the argument is that well

all these kids need to learn about lgbtq

and pride because they need to learn

about how all humans live okay they need

to learn about all different types of

people okay great well by that same

argument they should learn about all

different types of religions right like

Christianity Islam and we should open up

the Quran in the Bible and teach

students about it I guarantee you I

guarantee you most of those parents with

vehemently disagree with that okay I

guarantee you they would say nah we

shouldn't do that and I'll be like well

why not right we should learn about all

different different types of people

right but again the only religion that's

accepted in school is the religion of

Pride okay that's the only religion

that's accepted in school so with that

being said uh inshallah that these

Muslim parents and Christian parents

actually win okay and that you know they

can actually have religious freedom okay

which is to not have their kids learn

about something in school that again is

directly in contradiction with the

teachings of their religion they don't

want their kids exposing stuff it's

really that simple right

um so again that protest at the very

least it was peaceful however I can't

say that about another protest that

actually took place out in California

more specifically uh Glendale as a brawl

broke out at a Glendale school board

meeting

um in the fight is going viral you guys

know because of YouTube and their

violence policies I can't show you the

brawl okay but if you want to see the

uncensored version of this video you can

always follow me on Rumble you can check

out the video on Rumble I will have it

uncensored there

um but I want to go ahead and play this

news clip of this brawl that broke out

between parents and uh you know antifa

and some other far left is out in

Glendale California take a look it

happened during a meeting of the

Glendale School Board k285's Annie Rose

Ramos live from Glendale with those

details Annie Rose good morning

hey Chris Hi Megan good morning to you

both well let me set the scene for you

here yesterday happening last night

inside the building you see behind me

was a meeting among the school board

where they were planning on taking a

vote about declaring June official pride

month for their Unified School District

happening outside the building right

here in the parking lot that I'm

standing was a growing protest made up

of those four and against that vote and

at one point it all turned violent

[Music]

no no

in this video you can see just how

violent and chaotic that crowd got at

around 6 PM last night at the height of

those clashes the Glendale Police in

riot gear threatening to use chemical

agents to disperse the crowd declaring

it an unlawful assembly and arresting at

least three people at one point this

crowd swelled to reports of about 500

people here in the parking lot of the

Glendale Unified School District

headquarters glendale's police chief

confirming to KTLA there was antifa and

revolutionary communist members in the

crowd yesterday quote serving as

agitators additionally present were Pro

and anti-lgbtq plus demonstrators facing

off we understand they've been

protesting the board meetings here for

the past several weeks now over the

district's handling of lgbtq policies

[Music]

they're experimenting on children young

children are very vulnerable first of

all at that age they are targeting them

children don't have any idea about sex

and sexuality right it's the Erasure of

lgbtq voices Erasure of voices of lgbtq

people leads to the misconception that

all of our lived experiences are

homogeneous and the same and it does not

allow any space for folks to

embrace who they are

all right inside last night's board

meaning the public comment portion

regarding pride month was cut short

because of the fighting happening

outside but most you spoke were in favor

of the lgbtq plus acceptance the

Glendale School District releasing a

statement yesterday saying harmful

disinformation has been circulating

about what is being taught inside the

classrooms the superintendent speaking

more about it take a listen

our primary focus in our school district

is to be inclusive every student matters

every family member matters we do follow

in a public System state laws and

California Department of Education

guidelines and sometimes that may be of

concern to some parents but at the end

of the day my message is let's reach out

to one another

thank you

all right that vote that sparked this

entire protest eventually happened

inside the building you see behind me

last night and it passed all of the

board members voting unanimously to

declare June pride month here for the

Glendale School Unified District as they

have for the past four years reporting

live in Glendale I'll send it back to

you both in Hollywood yeah so a few

people were arrested okay and I'm

actually surprised that the local news

Outlet here actually acknowledged that

antifa uh was involved right this is the

rare instance while I've actually seen

antifa named by name hey this is antifa

right and Tifa is here uh when it comes

to uh some of this stuff that we're

seeing happening out in in the streets

right some of the violence so with that

being said again you have parents that

are fed up okay they're tired of talking

okay when it comes to this issue and

their children okay for those of you who

actually have seen uh the fight

um they're crazy right I mean they're

full-blown uh bra right they're not

pulling any punches but when I thought

it'd be interesting here is that you

have some people that were saying look

you know I'm not against the lgbtq

community right I'm not opposed to them

having their rights or whatever it's

just that we don't want this stuff

taught in school right we don't want

this stuff taught to elementary school

kids okay and it just goes to show you

how radical the lab has become because

this takes place out in Glendale

California okay I mean we're talking

about basically in LA right in a liberal

part of the country where again this

stuff is not even accepted among again

just people with decent morals and

values right who happen to be liberal

that's how far beyond the pale that the

Democrat Party has gone okay this is how

crazy

left-wing extremism has gotten again as

you can see on this political map here

this is deep blue right Glendale

California which is again north of Los

Angeles is deep blue right this is a

deep blue

District area

and parents have a problem with it right

they're upset about what's going on in

schools okay I mean they're trying to

designate uh pride month June as pride

month in school I don't understand why

that's even a thing I don't understand

why we have a month for any of these

identities I don't really get it right I

don't know why we got a black history

month I don't know why we got a Latino

or Hispanic Heritage Month I don't know

why we have a problem I don't know why

we have any of this stuff okay I I

really don't understand why is it that

we just can't come Together As Americans

and just celebrate each other for our

differences without having to just give

a special month to a certain group of

people based off silly characteristics

right and identity politics okay I mean

is it time to have a straight pride

month right or white pride month is it

time for that right because it seems

like that's the direction that we're

going here okay with the way some of

this stuff is taking over who knows

right at some point you're gonna make a

argument that in the future when you

know if slash Win white people become a

minority in the population okay again

maybe we need a white prompt month

officially designated okay or again a

straight pride month because again

apparently being lgbtq is the cool thing

to do among young people okay the

numbers suggest that as you know

Generations go on the younger

Generations become more lgbtq friendly

they identify it more as lgbtq at some

point 50 of the population is going to

be lgbtq being not lgbtq you're going to

be a minority again I want to see if

these same people are going to be

willing to give straight people a month

all right are we gonna get a month are

white people gonna get a month right

again it's just it's fascinating right

the politics that are currently happen

in this country but regardless again

parents across the aisle okay are

standing up against this radical

indoctrination and it's a beautiful

thing to see it's just that it seems

like uh we're not pushing back enough

here right that there needs to be more

pushback and ultimately the answer

really is for parents to take their kids

out of school because some of these

School boards and school districts are

just ran by liberals okay because most

of the population there is liberal and

if you live in that area you either have

to move or take your kid out of public

school put your kid in the school that

is not going to indoctrinate them right

that's actually going to focus on them

being educated uh with what they're

supposed to learn in school
