Report: School District In Maryland Makes LGBTQ Books Mandatory Reading

Parents will no longer be required to be informed on which books will be included on the lists.

The Montgomery County School District in Maryland is forcing children to study LGBTQ books as required reading, and removing parents’ rights to opt their kids out, according to a report by Fox News.

The report notes that the district has decided to adopt the “LGBTQ-inclusive reading list” as a mandatory part of its English language arts curriculum.

“While several parents requested a policy to opt out of these books, a recently updated policy by the school board insisted that students will be required to ‘engage’ with these materials,” the report states, adding that “parents will no longer be required to be informed on which books will be included on the lists.”

The policy states “Students and families may not choose to opt out of engaging with any instructional materials, other than ‘Family Life and Human Sexuality Unit of Instruction’ which is specifically permitted by Maryland law. As such, teachers will not send home letters to inform families when inclusive books are read in the future.”

Conservative group Moms for Liberty Montgomery chapter president Lindsey Smith commented that “MCPS keeps painting these books as rainbow unicorn which they are not.”

Smith told reporters that her three-year-old child was assigned a book called “Pride Puppy” along with a book teaching the alphabet containing images of men in drag under “Q for Queen.”

Smith described the move by the school as part of a wider agenda to “push to indoctrinate young kids on sexual identity and push this gender ideology on young kids, who just want to play dress up, play and learn.”

“It’s not about academia, so why are we teaching it?” Smith continued, adding “Only 31 percent of our kids in the highest ‘academia’ county can pass math in the newest data released.”

“Many parents feel this has nothing to do with equity and inclusion because why aren’t other groups in their community represented?” she added.

The report also notes that alongside conservative Christians, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Montgomery County Muslim Council are also opposing the move by the school.

A petition launched by CAIR states that “By introducing sexually-themed lessons and materials as part of the school curriculum without advance parental notice, an opt-out option or another reasonable religious accommodation, MCPS is violating the rights of parents and guardians, and undermining Maryland state law, which requires parents or guardians to have the option to remove their children from ‘Family Life and Human Sexuality’ content.”

“We’re trying to be respectful of these groups and their rights, but at the same time, we’re saying our rights need to be represented based off of our belief systems,” Montgomery County Muslim Council President Asif Husain also commented.

As we have exhaustively covered, the kind of books schools are including in libraries under the guise of LGBTQ and diversity drives often contain graphic sexual images and descriptions bordering on pornography and even pedophilia.

In several instances parents have been forced to read the books to school officials at public meetings in protest, often revealing the fact that the officials have no idea about the content the books contain.

    Author Of ‘Gender Queer’ Book Found In Schools Says “I Don’t Recommend This Book For Kids”

    “‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children”

    The author of the book titled ‘Gender Queer’, one of the controversial LGBTQ+ materials featuring explicit images that has cropped up again and again in schools has stated that the book is not meant to be available for young children.

    Maia Kobabe, who identifies as non-binary told the Washington Post that her book is aimed at “older teens,” not kindergarten aged kids.

    “It keeps being called a children’s book … but I think that’s coming from a misreading of the comic-book form. ‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children,” Kobabe stated.

    “I originally wrote it for my parents, and then for older teens who were already asking these questions about themselves. I don’t recommend this book for kids!” she said in the interview published last week.

    The comments come after GOP Senator John Kennedy read aloud graphic excerpts during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing:

    Kennedy read “I got a new strap-on harness today. I can’t wait to put it on you. It will fit my favorite dildo perfectly. You’re going to look so hot. I can’t wait to have your c**k in my mouth. I’m going to give you the blow job of your life. Then I want you inside of me.”

    “The words you spoke are disturbing, especially coming out of your mouth, it’s very disturbing,” Illinois Secretary of State Alexander Giannoulias told Kennedy in response.

    The book is one of several that have prompted outrage and protests among parents as it features graphic illustrations of sex between two men, use of sex toys, oral sex, and masturbation, among other things.

    Passages from the book have been read out by parents during school board meetings, in some cases leading to them being shut down and asked to leave.

    The Gender Queer book was also cited by Chelsea Clinton in tweets defending the use of such material in schools:

    Indeed Out-Wokes Corporate America With $10,000 Relocation Checks For Trans Employees

    Published

    Austin-based online job search platform, “Indeed,” aims to ‘out woke’ corporate America by offering transgender employees or those with transgender children a $10,000 relocation payment. Both Bloomberg and Axios confirmed the relocation payment program. 

    Before we discuss relocation payments, it’s important to note that Indeed proudly states on its website that it had the wokest corporate policies in America in 2018. It said its 2018 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality, score “received a perfect score of 100 percent.” 

    For some context, CEI is administered by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world. HRC has received millions of dollars in funding from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

    Indeed’s executives appear to have one objective in mind: rank the highest on the CEI index this year (we all remember earlier this year what happened to Bud Light when they tried that on TikTok). One way execs are attempting to achieve a high score is to offer a relocation program to trans workers, cutting them a $10,000 check to cover ‘travel-related expenses’ out of conservative states (or areas where they don’t feel comfortable) to safer grounds. 

    “While Indeed introduced the program to its employees in July, until now, the company has not discussed it publicly,” Bloomberg said. 

    Indeed provided further details about the program to Axios:

    • It’s for US-based employees and immediate family members who seek gender-affirming care and live in a location where state laws or government-issued directives criminalize or restrict access to such medical care.
    • It also applies to those who live in places that attempt to restrict support for children who are gender non-conforming, transgender or non-binary. 
    • Eligible employees will receive approval to relocate to a state or jurisdiction where they will be able to access the care and support they need, as well as a $10,000 flat-rate benefit to support their relocation expenses.

    None of this comes as a surprise given Indeed’s mission since 2018 has been to ‘out woke’ corporate America in its pursuit of a high CEI score. But why? 

    Some netizens were confused by Indeed’s move considering the Bud Light backlash earlier this year after a white privileged liberal executive believed the brewer was time for a change. However, its customer base thought otherwise, nuking the beer as demand has since crashed

    “Kinda weird that companies never did stuff like this for black people or disabled people,” one netizen asked. 

    Another asked, “Does Indeed offer any relocation money for women who live in particularly misogynistic states? Of course not. “

    Someone else pointed out:

    We wonder if Indeed will have an increase in the number of trans workers trying to capitalize on the free money.
