Who would have thought this could happen in a Portland school?

Portland parent fights child’s elementary school over ‘final straw’ of adding trans-inclusive flag

Portland, Oregon, mother Allison Roberts told Fox News Digital Tuesday she hopes her fight with her children’s elementary school over a trans-inclusive flag will inspire others to speak out for their beliefs.

“I think the increased political presence with the progressive flag was a bit much,” Roberts said of her situation. “And I think that was the final straw that got me to open my eyes and see that, yes, the school had become a political apparatus. It wasn’t my problem with the pride flag, per se, it is what I think is using it as a political apparatus and indoctrination for the kids.”

Once you get all the pride stuff in the classrooms and the purple haired teachers it’s over. And, being Portland, how many others will speak out? I wonder if all her friends have abandoned her? Stopped answering her calls and texts, stopped inviting her anywhere? All her coworkers shunning her?

According to the Liberty Justice Center, which filed a lawsuit on behalf of Roberts last week, she initially expressed concern last year over Meriwether Lewis Elementary School’s decision to repaint its traditional rainbow pride flag with an “Intersex-Inclusive Progress” variant and an “identity flower” assignment given to her 11-year-old child that asked students to identify and discuss their gender identity with classmates and teachers.

This is nothing new in the Portland schools, it’s just at a point where she noticed it, and, good for her fighting back. But, sorry, she’s delusional

Roberts described herself as a liberal Democrat but felt the new flag was a step too far, particularly given her religious beliefs, and warned that situations like hers are likely happening in other schools.

“I never would have thought it would have happened in Portland, arguably one of the most, at least, vocally liberal cities out there. I really didn’t think it could happen here,” Roberts said.

“So, if it can happen here, I have no doubt that it can happen anywhere. And, again, it’s … it’s curriculum that is being stealthily placed into and around other curriculum. So, I do firmly believe that it’s happening everywhere.”

Portland, Oregon is one of the first places you could see this happening, and it’s been happening for years. Why would she, or any other liberal, not see this coming? Liberals seriously ignore everything till it is rammed into their face. She did get a good lesson in the way that her Comrades operate, though, as when she protested, handing out letters outside the school but not on school property, they trespassed her for one year with the normal wacko language like “animus and harassment targeting vulnerable members of [the] community.”

So then the Liberty Justice Center got involved with the lawsuit

“And, so, shutting somebody down because you don’t like what they’re saying really is problematic for that,” he continued. “There’s no offense exception to the First Amendment. There’s no hate speech exception to the First Amendment. These are made-up words, made-up things, and so really what they are doing here is insidious, I think, on several different grounds.”

This is the way your Comrades operate, Allison. Will you learn the lesson?

Roberts encouraged other parents to get involved with their children’s schools and take action when necessary.

“Don’t be afraid to speak up. Be loud,” she said. “I think the time for hoping that the common sense and the adults will enter the conversation and make things right is kind of over. And I think it is time for us to be vocal and to get involved.”

“And I would say to people, get involved in your school, your kid’s school,” Roberts added. “Go take a tour when it starts up this year. That’s all I’d say.”

Funny, Democrats have been saying that parents should not be involved at all, that the Schools Know Best, and the liberal run schools have been working hard to keep parents out. Conservative parents have been pointing out all these problems for years, and the liberals told them to pipe down.
