    Dearborn board meeting shuts down amid chorus of 'vote them out' over book policy

    A boisterous crowd of people who objected to how Dearborn schools reviews books available for students caused a board meeting Monday night to abruptly shut down as hundreds shouted and cheered.

    "They shut down the meeting; we know who we're voting out," one person said standing before a packed audience for a Dearborn Public Schools Board of Education meeting.

    A rising chorus of "Vote them out" rang out as board members left the dais and passed in front of the crowd and police officers moved to the front of the room.

    More than a hundred parents, students and others had gathered earlier to speak up about policies in the district in a bid to allow more ways to review library books some deem controversial.

    "If it's sexually graphic, if it's violent, if it's age inappropriate and has no literary value, it should not belong in a school library," said Faye Nemer, a parent in the district.

    Yes please bring ATW into this conversation. I really want to know how he feels about Muslims who hate the woke agenda.

    I mean the difference is I guess I wouldn't spend a decade posting about how I want conservative Evangelical christians barred from migrating to thee US because they interject draconian beliefs.

    I am aware of that and that you're not a fan of culture in general. From what I understand, it doesn't even exist to you. They're all a consequence of this or that. For me, your preferred world would lack culture. You know the only people who go all in on this "woke agenda" are those that lack culture.

    well, number 1, this is Dearborn and these the parents of that community.
    Their school council are there to serve the parents and educate the kids, it's not the other way around.

    so if they are mad about the books, it's their tax money and their kids..

    They can enroll their kids to private school or homeschool them.

    The subject matter experts in determining school curriculum have determined that introducing kids to the concept that gay people exist and that's okay reduces bullying and isolation.

    the Woke people have a very thin line to walk on this topic because they can't just roll up and talk crap to the Muslims like they do the Christians
    the woke people are whiteys so you know they have to be careful to insult the Muslims.

    Not really. Now if you talk about restricting immigrants because of their religion identity or labeling Muslims as rapists as some general rule of thumb, ya I'll defend Muslims and so will the "woke whitey".

    But Islam is just another oppressive Abrahamic religion that treat women as if they are property just like Christianity and Judaism.

    the world has lots of Culture
    that's how we roll as humans with different languages, appearances etc

    America is complicated but as in the other school districts (California etc) the parents rule
    you don't go against the parents

    the parents in the most LGBT friendly place , didn't like how they suddenly let
    kids who couldn't compete academically into elite schools where the parents had their kids study hard for

    the parents with the smart kids kicked all of them out and it wasn't close

    @Reeko one of them on record did mention the races of the smart kids, not a good idea breh or them

    As an ex-muslim who has been a part of multiple Muslim communities in multiple major US metro areas, I can safely say that Democrats really don't have a problem here. This is a very isolated situation in Dearborn where some of the most conservative Muslims in the country live.

    Most other Muslims communities don't give a **** about this and are straight ticket dems.

    The very last thought in the head of my parents was what books were in the school library, while I was in K-12.

    Even my parents were somewhat prudish in terms of exposing me to content at a young age. Even for them it never once crossed their mind to worry about their sons finding a medical drawing of a breast in a book at the school library. They couldn't give two *****.

    This is wealthy people funding causes and convincing religious nuts to create a perception that there is epidemic of transvestite tentacle p*rn at school libraries to get their minds off of their medical bills.

    Why are SCWs so ****ing stupid? Books in the school library where their kids might check out a book once a year are the reason for something something … versus the smart phones their kids get in middle school which has unlimited p*rn, questionable redit subgroups, social media, etc.
