...Hundreds of protesters swarmed a Dearborn Public Schools board meeting on Monday in fierce opposition to books used in class and school libraries that include explicit content of the LGBTQ variety. The titles include This Book is Gay, Flamer, The Lovely Bones, and Push, which go into explicit detail about performing sexual acts and include scenarios of pornography, rape, and incest. The protesters who packed the meeting room held signs that read "Keep your porno to yourself," "Homosexuality Big Sin," and "If democracy matters, we're in the majority."
....Over the past year or so, we've become familiar with scenes of parents protesting school boards over sexually explicit content in schools. But Monday's event featured a new cast: Hundreds of predominantly Arab and Muslim Americans joined their Christian neighbors to oppose the sexually explicit...materials popping up in their kids' public school education....Dearborn is next to Detroit, home to the largest Muslim population in the United States per capita, as well as the largest mosque in the country. Over 300,000 Muslims live in Southeast Michigan—which makes the protest all the more interesting: These aren't Republicans. Dearborn is in Wayne County, which hasn't voted for a Republican president in 94 years—since Herbert Hoover was elected in 1928....
The school board protest was led in large part by Imam Sayed Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights. In his Friday sermon last week, he specifically urged his congregants to attend the protest. "Some of those books are completely inappropriate for our children to read," the Imam said. "Some of those books promote pornography. Some of them promote homosexuality. We don't need this. Go and attend this meeting."...Like much of his community, Qazwini is no right-wing ideologue or even a fan of former President Donald Trump, who ran on instituting a Muslim ban. In a 2020 interview, Qazwini told France 24 that Trump has "marginalized Muslims" and "supported white supremacy." "I am not proud to be American under the presidency of a man like Donald Trump," the Imam said....
....But what happens when a minority community—one that is solidly Democratic—feels aggrieved by another identity group of the intersectional Left? That's what we're seeing play out in Dearborn....It's an especially salient question given that peaceful parent protests over these same issues in 2021 were met with the full weight of the U.S. government, which instituted policies treating parents who objected at school board meetings as domestic terrorists....In 2021, when parents around the country began staging protests at school board meetings, the Department of Justice stepped in at the urging of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) by issuing a memo expressing plans to investigate the "increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation's public schools." The Justice Department faced backlash over many reports of federal agent presence at school board meetings....The National School Boards Association issued a letter to President Biden (which has since been removed from their website) that labeled parents protesting at school board meetings domestic terrorists and requested federal law enforcement intervention. The Association later retracted and apologized for the letter....
The parent protest in Dearborn raises many interesting questions in a time of pervasive identity politics. How will the DOJ and FBI handle these latest protests now that Muslim and Arab parents are rallying together against allowing sexually explicit materials in schools? Will they be labeled "terrorists" too? Will they be smeared by the corporate media as "right-wing bigots" and "white supremacists"? If so, how will the parents react?

Protesters brought signs with them that said “Keep your porno books to yourself,” “If democracy matters, we’re the majority,” and “Protect the children,” the last one written in five languages, the Post added....Activist Hassan Aoun said the school district “disrespected” those who attended. He responded by leading chants of “Vote them out!”
The school board responded to the signs by banning protesters from being able to bring posters to the meeting that is set for tomorrow. The school board claimed that it shut the meeting down because the people in attendance were violating the fire code....
...Last week, ahead of the school board meeting, the district released its new policy. Officials are allowing parents to block their children from checking out certain items or to block them from using the district’s library and other media centers entirely. If parents are “truly concerned” about a particular work being in the school at all, they can go through the “book challenge process” to ask that it be removed from the catalogue. Such a request triggers a review from at least five district media specialists who, considering the parents’ concerns, will reexamine the work’s age appropriateness....At the start of Monday’s meeting, McDonald said that, until last week, the district had an “outdated book review process.” But, she added, the seven-member board wants to work with parents to make sure their input is heard — about books in their children’s schools or anything else having to do with their education.....

*********
"As these acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials have increased, the classification of these heinous actions could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes..." - Viola Garcia and Chip Slaven, National School Board Association, 9/29/21
"We would have readily pointed out the mischaracterization of parents and patrons in our communities as domestic terrorists who merited federal investigation," - Idaho School Boards Association, one of seventeen state school board associations that rescinded their memberships with the NSBA.
"Protect The Children" - Sign carried by Muslim parent and protester at Dearborn, Michigan. It was written in five different languages. These kind of signs are now banned from future school board meetings.
Attorney General Merrick Garland and the National School Board Association won't be able to label these Muslim parents as "domestic terrorists" Not going to happen. Can you imagine the kind of media firestorm and scandal that would create?
Iman Sayed Hassan Al-Qazwini, who organized the protest, HATES Donald Trump. He makes it very clear that he sees Trump as a "white supremacist" And yet he joined forces with Conservative Christian parents to protest what he believed were sexually explicit books being pushed onto his children. Further investigation shows the Dearborn School Board set up a system where parents need to exhaustively appeal and prove why a book should not be in the system and not the other way around. Why won't the Dearborn School Board put in the effort and time to explain why books involving sexual acts, rape and incest SHOULD be allowed in these school libraries in the first place?
As I said before, very few parents in this country are going to pick their "political tribalism" over the safety and security of their own children.
For Team Blue, this is open political suicide. Think about how broken the radical identity politics agenda becomes when it helps to make someone like Donald Trump seem like the reasonable and safe choice for 2024... Really think about that. Consider the non stop self inflicted damage done here to alienate and drive many parents completely insane. Parents who already have enough to worry about with record inflation, a world wide pandemic, complete lawlessness in big cities, and the grim possibility of nuclear war with Putin/Russia.
If someone loves their children more than they hate Donald Trump, then how exactly might they vote in 2024?
I'll leave this here for others to discuss.
