Muslim Parents Joining Christian Parents Against Sexualizing Kids. By Siraj Hashmi. Dearborn is near Detroit and is home to the largest Muslim community in the US.
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.” …
Monday’s event featured a new cast: Hundreds of predominantly Arab and Muslim Americans joined their Christian neighbors to oppose the sexually explicit, pro-LGBTQ materials popping up in their kids’ public school education. …

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. Many on the Right felt for the first time what Muslim Americans have lived with since the September 11 attacks: the innate suspicion of the U.S. government due to your religion. …
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?
The left’s strategy is nuts, but they live in an echo chamber that excoriates certain realities.
