Tensions between Muslim parents and Montgomery County Public Schools over the Maryland district’s mandatory LGBTQ books escalated after a Democratic official compared the families to White supremacists.
The books include “Pride Puppy” by Robin Stevenson, which asks three- and four-year-olds to find items at an LGBTQ pride parade, including an intersex flag, drag queen, leather and underwear, as well as books in support of gender transitioning and preferred pronouns for kids.message
A group of Muslim and Christian parents sued the district last month, asking a federal court to block temporarily the “no notice, no opt-out” policy slated to take effect in the 2023-24 academic year pending the outcome of the lawsuit. Edward Ahmed Mitchell, CAIR national deputy executive director, said that the notion that young religious Muslims are “simply brainwashed individuals repeating ‘dogma’ they have heard from their parents, without any independent thought, is a bigoted stereotype.”
