A Muslim activist gave a chilling speech against children being subjected to LGBTQ cirriculum without an option for parents to opt them out of the instruction.
Muslim activist Sameera Munshi of the Coalition of Virtues speaks out at a Montgomery County Public Schools board of education meeting, June 27, 2023.
"And the conversations that they will have with these members of our community will serve as education on these matters later in their lives. But we're asking that our children not be strong-armed at such a young age into believing certain ideas about gender and sexuality, or that the school system insist on turning our children against the religious values that we hold."
Other speakers against the opt-out option being removed included a child named Sa'ad, a middle school student in MCPS. Another child, who was a 2023 graduate from MCPS, Ibrahim Raziuddin, said,"I am here to testify on behalf of my elementary-age cousins. Although the introduction of texts and discussions related to transgenderism and LGBTQ+ may support MCPS' mission to be all-inclusive… I don't believe my first-grade and third-grade cousins are prepared to read and discuss such issues."

Colorado Springs LGBTQ+ club mass killer gets life in prison, victim says 'devil awaits' defendantThe suspect who pleaded guilty in a 2022 mass shooting at a LGBTQ+ club in Colorado Springs has been sentenced to life in prison. Authorities said Anderson Lee Aldrich walked into Club Q just before midnight on Nov. 19 and began indiscriminately firing an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle. The attack came a year after Aldrich, who is nonbinary and uses they and them pronouns, had been arrested for threatening their grandparents and vowing to become “the next mass killer.” But, charges were ultimately dropped. Victims called the Colorado Springs mass shooter a “monster” who hunted down LGBTQ+ patrons during a hearing Monday after he plead guilty.
