On May 25th, at a school board meeting, a high school Muslim student testified on her desire to opt-out of the LGTBQ curriculum being required by MCPS. As covered by MoC0 360, school board member Lynne Harris expressed feeling “kind of sorry” for the girl and wondering if she had just been “parroting dogma”. The irony here is rich in that Lynne Harris is a driving force and voice behind requiring the teaching of LGTBQ within MCPS school buildings and a defiant supporter of not allowing children the option of not-participating. In Lynne’s confusing world, requiring participation is not at all associated with common techniques for brainwashing, but a child with faith most definitely is the result of brainwashing.
Thankfully there are other brave children in Montgomery County to publicly challenge this absurdity. On June 6, the Board of Education held a closed session where they held additional testimony. A young man brings up hypocrisy and absurdity of Lynne’s comments. Clip below.
