A few members of the BOE have voiced their strong support, but there hasn't been a vote or official statement on the issue.[/quote]

Testimony during public comments around the opt-out option has been going on for months. After every round of public comments, the BOE members remark and they either ignore the negative comments or voice support for dismantling the opt-out option in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion.

If there was a contingent within the BOE who felt differently from what has been expressed, I think they would have expressed it by now.[/quote]

That's great! I'm so glad they aren't caving to the bigotry.[/quote]

It’s kind of ironic that you are using bigotry to fight what you also claim is bigotry.

Unfortunately, I’m not shocked by this myopic view. The goal no longer seems to be mutual respect and shared spaces. It seems to be “give me my way and screw you.”

I say this as a fairly moderate person, who is perfectly happy to support the LGBTQA+ community AND religious communities. I’ve quickly realized, however, that there is no room for voices like mine.

The video of the protest was appalling to me. Such rude behaviors from the counter protesters: the glaring music drowning out voices, the middle finger, the rude comments. This is what Montgomery County has become?[/quote]

Same here. Diversity is OK in MoCo as long as it's not viewpoint diversity. Then you must be shunned for not agreeing with them.[/quote]

The fact that gay people exist in real life and therefore in some books is not a "viewpoint."[/quote]

No, but not wanting your kids to be taught about it at a young age is. [/quote]

Not wanting your kids to be taught about the existence of gravity at a young age is also a viewpoint.[/quote]

And guess what... they don't teach kids about gravity at a young age because it's hard to understand, just like understanding why some adults think that putting on a dress and make-up changes their sex.  So, I think we can all agree to wait until they are a little older to learn about both.[/quote]

Lol, kids aren’t idiots. They see things, they hear things, and they understand things. Thankfully they are much more tolerant and accepting than people like you. [/quote]

So you don’t agree with the concept of age appropriate topics?  [/quote]

But everything discussed here was age appropriate.[/quote]

+100..kids have *gasp* gay parents...they understand this from day 1. Kids who have straight parents see relationship dynamics as well. You're not sitting here crying about them seeing men kiss women. Grow up. I'm so embarrassed for you.[/quote]

Resorting to insults. Not unexpected. [/quote]

DP, yes. People will insult you for being ignorant. Obviously it is something you're used to. Maybe read a book for a change. Get off DCUM. If you asked valid questions or brought up valid points, people would be willing to have a discourse with you. But you're fully spewing BS and don't care to learn anything new, so...[/quote]

Again… 
I’m the DP who posted above. Spewing hate into an anonymous forum doesn’t help your argument. You don’t appear smarter or more logical. You simply appear… hateful.

If you are trying to sway opinion, this doesn’t work. Can you cut it out? [/quote]

DP but, no. You’re trying to say if someone called you out for racism, they’d be hateful. Simply not true. You seem very immature and you have a ton of growing and learning to do. I wish you the best. Hopefully you get the education you seriously need.[/quote]
