New in PJ Media:
A group of Somali Muslim families in the Minneapolis area has won a tremendous victory for themselves and for all parents: they’ve secured the right to keep their children out of the local school district’s LGBTQ propaganda. For that, all parents, both in the Minneapolis area and elsewhere around the country, owe them a debt of gratitude. The only people who could possibly find this disturbing are the propagandists themselves — oh, and Old Joe Biden, as it spells extremely bad news for the already fraying leftist/Islamic alliance.
The Daily Wire reported Thursday that the St. Louis Park Public School District west of Minneapolis “says it will let families opt out of LGBT curriculum materials after several Muslim families threatened to sue.” The Muslim families asserted that “not allowing families to opt out potentially violates the Constitution and state law,” and apparently the school district thought that they had a strong enough case that it folded, rather than fight them in court.
Of course, school district officials in Minneapolis, which has a significant Somali Muslim population, may not have wanted to appear so “Islamophobic” as to fight Muslim families in court. This was especially true because the families based their case on Islam: “on November 2, the families’ attorneys sent the district a letter explaining Islamic teachings around gender and sexuality and outlining the timeline of parents’ complaints about the LGBT books.”
The real pity here is that Christian parents and those from other faith groups didn’t join the legal case as well. The Muslim families acted after “some of the families’ elementary school children had been exposed to LGBT characters in picture books, which caused ‘significant confusion and distress,’” according to the letter the families sent to the school district. Christian and other parents have also experienced “significant confusion and distress” over this propaganda being forced onto their children, and they should have protested.
The propaganda specifically consisted of homosexual-themed books including “Our Subway Baby,” which features “two men who adopt a baby”; “My Shadow Is Pink,” which showcases “a boy who wears dresses,” and “Ho’onani: Hula Warrior,” which is a sly justification for men pretending to be women and dominating women’s sports, in the form of a story about “a young Hawaiian girl who wants to lead a boys hula team.” The Muslim families asked that their children be excused from reading this material, but school officials refused, claiming preposterously that this smut and indoctrination did not “constitute instructional materials,” and thus parents could not opt out. That’s when they got attorneys on the case.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Simple question.
What about the Christian families who oppose this filth?
Are they afforded the same?
No? Why?

It is my opinion/belief, that Christians should stand on their own faith and not join up with mozlums to protest the filthy evil. islam is full of its own filthy evil and much of it involves the treatment of children as objects for satisfying their lust.
I think that had Christians objected, they would have been rebuffed as Christianity doesn’t have the *protection* from a phobia charge as does islam.
mozlums trot out the phobia thingy at every opportunity. And if lawsuits don’t work, they can fall back on real threats….and the school boards and admins fear being targeted.
Parents all over the country have objected to such filth as perverts like to push on the children, and the school boards have done exactly as they please.
it’s the threats…of the phobia, and the unspoken of real attacks…which made these people allow mozlums to opt out.

This is what happens when you make a Faustian pact. What did the LGBTQ community expect allying their cause with a strictly religious cult so diametrically opposed to their ideology that there is no compromise. This why the notion of ‘Queers for Palestine’ is just plain daft.

I’m not so sure here. One trap that other faith groups risk falling into when they align w/ muslims is that they then lower their guard about other things Islamic, like shariah indoctrination & so on. For instance, if you were a Jewish group opposed to this, would you wanna stand shoulder to shoulder w/ the “River-to-the-sea” crowd? Or if you were Hindu, w/ the Ghazwa-e-Hind crowd?
What other groups – Christian, Buddhist, Jewish & Hindu groups should do is now separately demand the same privilege from the same school district that the muslims have won. Let’s see the rationale for the school district to refuse

Exactly right, Infidel.

Seconded.
Blougeoisie says
Way more Muslims than anyone else. Good thing we’re a democracy, eh libbos?
Niemoller says
The left is afraid of the hierarchy of faux victimhood it has created. It is happy to demonize peaceful white Christian conservative Americans but the left grovels to ultraconservative black jihadist immigrant demands.

It’s a SAD day in America when we needs FOREIGNERS to fix our broken schools.
It definitely shows how FAR we’ve fallen.

It’s worth pointing out that the new mayor of St. Louis Park MN is Nadia Mohamed, a Somali “refugee” like Ilhan Omar and Ilhan Omar’s doppelganger.

Appeasement to Islam and RF to everyone else.

Any defeat of any cause President Poopypants supports is good news!
