California Parents Outraged After
Children in Middle School Attend LGBT Fair, by Tony Perkins, 3/18/19.
“You did what?!” Parents
across Santa Ana couldn’t believe it. In one house after another, the answer to
“How was school today?” was nothing like they expected. Moms and dads listened
in disbelief as their middle schoolers talked about going to an “LGBT Fair”
that no one bothered to ask their permission for. There were even people in
drag, their 11-year-olds said, giving makeup lessons—right there in school.
Townhall’s Kira Davis listened
as one mom fumed about not knowing about the fair until after it happened.
There wasn’t even an opportunity to opt out, she complained at last Tuesday’s
school board meeting.
Unfortunately, that was
just one of the infuriating examples the largely-Hispanic community used to
explain how fed up it was with the state’s new sex ed law. But the problem is a
lot bigger than the law, Davis explained. It’s how liberals are exploiting the
Spanish-speaking communities to implement it.
In one of the more fiery
exchanges of the night, a mom seethed that so many liberals were trying to
marginalize California’s multi-ethnic communities. “How can a state that claims
to be so much for the rights of immigrants and minorities then ignore our
concerns on purpose? They are hypocrites!”
The liberal Left continue to
push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there is a

Although California’s
law does order schools to offer the curriculum outline in both languages, Santa
Ana hasn’t made the Spanish materials available to parents. Hardly an accident,
Davis argues, since most of the communities like this one are “whole-heartedly
opposed to LGBT-based sex-ed.”
One thing’s for sure: The
more radical the social policy, the greater the opportunity for conservatives.
Santa Ana’s meeting room was bursting with the latest evidence that Democrats
have a huge problem on their hands, especially when it comes to abortion and
sex ed.
What’s even more
insulting, these parents pointed out, is how liberals are purposefully taking
advantage of them—deceptively leaving families in the dark because they know
“this particular community would absolutely not approve of the more graphic
elements.” Not to mention, Davis goes on, “the unmonitored discussions” on
gender and sexuality.
Like a lot of other
California districts, these parents have reached their boiling point. Tuesday’s
meeting was so jam-packed that even the overflow rooms could barely hold the
families. Holding signs that read, “No SeXXEd!” moms and dads fended off the
ACLU attorneys who’d been farmed out across the state to handle complaints.
Later, parents were even more furious to find out that 4 of the 5 people who
testified in favor of the curriculum didn’t even live in the
district.
In between emotional
testimonies, Davis was appalled at how condescending board members were, firing
back hostile—and at times, demeaning—answers. “As an outside observer, I was
terribly vexed by how dismissive and deceptive school authorities were to this
particular group of parents. It was clear they did not believe immigrant
Hispanic parents were engaged or informed enough to be welcomed into the
process.”
“All these people were
asking for was a say, a chance to be involved, to be heard and to be active
participants in the education of their children. They were asking for respect
and instead received nothing but contempt and disrespect from the very people
they trust to care for the development of their students.” But, she warns, “If
you think this is just another case of ‘whacky’ California paying the price for
their ‘whacky’ voting habits, think again. This is coming to a state and a
school district near you.”
Are you prepared for
that day? Make sure you’ve read the Family Research Council’s “A
Parent’s Guide to the Transgender Movement in Education”—and share it with your friends.
