We Fought the Transgender Activists, and Lost. Here Are 5 Lessons for Every Parent.
The Daily Signal ^ | July 8, 2019 | Kristen Allen

Our defeat was all but inevitable, yet the transgender activists still showed up in matching shirts and waved multicolored flags. Their speakers outnumbered ours 4 to 1, but they still hissed and muttered ugly names at our side while we spoke.

We had gathered for the Arlington County School Board’s meeting on June 18. For four months, the Arlington Parent Coalition had worked tirelessly to get our liberal school board and administrators to reconsider or delay the implementation of policies that would expand accommodations for transgender-identified students.

Those policies were passed four years ago during the summer, when nobody was paying attention. Their timing was not unintentional.

The steady and focused efforts of transgender activists over the last 20-30 years are now bearing fruit. Some of the policy changes coming to Arlington County include biological boys and girls being allowed into each others’ bathrooms and locker rooms, girls having to compete against transgender boys in sports, and schools compelling speech in favor of transgender pronouns.

Parents are seen as a potential threat to transgender students, and any opposition to transgender accommodations is perceived as hateful bigotry.

Gary McCaleb, senior counsel for the Alliance for Defending Freedom, estimates that hundreds of school systems across the country are now fighting the roll out of transgender ideology.

Communities are woefully unprepared for the impact this will have on our children. There is no road map for grassroots groups to follow as they fight this radical agenda and cultural shift.

However, several lessons emerged from our efforts that might be helpful to other grassroots groups.

Boycott school athletics. Fight funding at every turn.

Boys on girls teams?
The whole thing is a farce.

Boycott public schools. If possible, organize a mass boycott of the taxes that pay for them.

Businesses sponsor teams and yearbooks, taxes pay for stadiums.

Not one dime.

Remember that there is no end game to the agenda of leftist fascists. They always want more.

Soros, The Tides Foundation and others pour a lot of money into the Transgender cult. One more way to attack American values, families and ultimately the nation.

This means everyone stops paying property taxes. Because many places derive the school money from a percentafe of property taxes collected.

If parents can gather enough support, then so be it. It is time to oppose this madness and make government responsive to the people rather than the self-appointed Social Justice elites.

If parents gave a cr@p they wouldn't be voting democratic.

Jesus is coming soon to judge the world in righteousness. He is our retirement plan. If you place your kids in these sodomite infested hell holes, are you not surrendering your God Given commission to train and protect them in God’s ways?

A friend of a friend has a neice whose parents were very liberal to the point being stupid (and they were both government workers), and they let their little girl hang out with gay dudes because they were “nice boys.” Well, this daughter is now FUBAR because of it all, drug addict, sex freak, everything you can imagine. I just have to say and I told my friend this... “what the hell were they thinking.”

This posting by FR’s says it best and when printed up makes a good bumper sticker or poster;
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3749188/posts/#40
it reads CELEBRATE PERVERSITY each word is against a rainbow background. I suggest adding VOTE PERVOCRAT when you print it up and place that below the two words.celebrate, perversity.

Ultimately, this is what "conversion therapy" bans are about.

"For four months, the Arlington Parent Coalition had worked tirelessly to get our liberal school board and administrators to reconsider or delay the implementation of policies that would expand accommodations for transgender-identified students."

While I don't know the specifics of this situation, please consider the following.

Not only does it sound like the Arlington County School Board is not giving local majority citizen voters the republican form of government that they are constitutionally obligated to give the voters, but we cannot expect the current corrupt Congress left over from the lawless Obama administration to do its constitutionally enumerated duty to come to the rescue the voters.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

Also, consider that if LGBT bullies in the school administration are abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, particularly 1st Amendment-protected freedom of religious expression, then the 14th Amendment still protects concerned citizens even if they are a minority.

From the 14th Amendment:

But regardless of the constitutionally enumerated protections of citizens, patriots still need to do something about the post-17th Amendment ratification Congress that is not doing its duty to protect the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens.

The remedy for constitutionally failed local, state and federal governments in this example…

All patriots in the nation need to come to the rescue of the Arlington Parents Coalition by electing a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT's vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do this.

New patriot lawmakers need to promise to do their constitutionally enumerated duty to make punitive laws to discourage state actors from ignoring the family values of local citizens.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG!

When it comes to the culture war, it’s been a total rout! We are in shambles, full retreat... and they’re still chasing us.
