Many members of the Muslim community in America and Canada are not happy about the LGBT agenda being advanced in schools and are engaging in protests like the ones we have seen in California and Ottawa.
Progressives are having a hard time understanding this. Muslims are not supposed to oppose them, and that has led to awkward moments like this one, where Maryland Democrat Kristin Mink equated Muslim protesters with white supremacists.
Townhall reported:
Words matter. Haven’t we heard that before? For Maryland Democrat Kristin Mink, she learned that the hard way, and that representing a relatively liberal region of the state does not shield you from being dragged for saying foolish things. Mink, a Montgomery County, Maryland council member, landed in hot water when she equated the local Muslim community to white supremacists.There’s an ongoing battle within the schools here, where Muslim families are rightfully not thrilled that their children will have access to LGBT-inspired textbooks. Some of these materials have been reported to contain graphic discussions about sexuality. Muslims have felt that these textbooks infringe upon their faith, which drew the reaction from Mink.
See the video below:
Mink has since apologized for those remarks.
FOX News reports:
Maryland Dem grovels after saying Muslim kids against LGBTQ+ lessons aligned with ‘White supremacists’A Democrat Maryland elected official apologized in a Sunday afternoon statement addressed to the Muslim community days after she blasted their children who spoke against an LGBTQ+ curriculum at a Montgomery County Public Schools board meeting as being aligned with “White supremacists.”Kristin Mink, a Montgomery County council member and former public school teacher at MCPS, maintained in her apology statement that her Tuesday board of education meeting remarks were “focused on promoting inclusion.””[My remarks] created an opportunity for misunderstanding and mischaracterization,” she said. “I apologize for the hurt that caused in the Muslim community.”Muslim children at the Montgomery County Public Schools district had been speaking out against their parents’ inability to opt them out of LGBTQ+ lessons they deemed violated their faith at the meeting.
Will anyone be surprised if something like this happens again?
