@strife10301

good. parents stand up for your kids.

@jnicksnewstart

Why are the news Medias describing the concerned parents as conservatives? Do they believe that everybody else that's not conservative is okay with this obvious grooming?

@heybro6105

Great job to the community for protecting kids.

@movinngroovin2104

People are sick of it.

@myfreedom5908

Parents and teachers need to stand up together and fight for their rights.

@avanstrash6149

Good job parents. God bless all of you. Don't be oppressed with those freaks who doesn't have children but pushing their agenda to your children

@MAGApepe

vote all those school board ppl out of office asap

@jerrymcbroom8560

When you show up in a helmet and full face mask, you're the one starting a fight

@tedmoser3657

Curriculums and events that aren't sexualized allow all voices, a persons sexual preference shouldn't be part of the equation, which is the way it should be in schools. Stop forcing people and schools to acknowledge your personal lifestyle.

@wmtrader

Complaining does not work. Voting them out of office does work.

@CEOkiller

Recall and vote the entire board out!

@emberjaxx585

Classrooms should be required to be recorded. The fact is that parents don’t know what’s being taught, and it should be verifiable.

@RogueStar-zv4rr

God bless those parents standing against this garbage 💪🇦🇲☦️.

@stanjon7

Thank God the parents are standing up to the freaks. I used to sympathize with them, but not anymore. After seeing the number of teachers, proudly claiming about pride in the classroom. How they hide pronouns and talk about their transition, coming out and other things behind parents back. It’s not the place of teachers to do that and they need to be punished harshly.

@seandulaney4428

We always knew they’d come for our kids.

@repent_0ne

They're grooming the children.

@thatdude4571

I stand with the Parents, the sexuality of the teacher should not be broadcasted and boasted around school campuses.
