Just a day after the annual rainbow wash that is “Pride Month” began, a school in North Hollywood, Los Angeles stirred uproar and controversy.
Saticoy Elementary School teachers planned a "Pride" event to read a book about gay families to elementary schoolers. So, as a protest, concerned parents withheld their children from school on Friday, June 2 and gathered to protest the move. Naturally, groomers who enjoy teaching young kids about sex gathered to protest the protest.
Concerned parents were against the Pride event - titled, “Pride Spirit and Rainbow Day” - that included the reading of the book “The Great Big Book of Families.” In the book, LGBTQ families were mentioned alongside traditional families as a normal household, leaving some parents disgruntled. They claimed that LGBTQ topic is one that needs to be discussed by parents and their kids, not in or around schools.
One concerned father, Jack Satamian, said that he didn’t think kids should be taught about any kind of sexual preferences.
“I didn't bring them into this world for a teacher to explain to them what is gay -- or what two men or two women do -- some certain things should be left to the parents to decide whether they want their kids to be exposed to it or not -- at least at a certain age,” he stated. “I am not against the gay community. Everybody choosing their own hat, what they want to do, but I do have a problem with them trying to bring it into an elementary school."
You’re preaching to the choir, sir. Kids, especially elementary students, should be learning how to read and write or how to subtract and add or what the phases of the moon are, not about anything that pushes a progressive agenda.
Kids are being treated as targets to push leftist propaganda, and that’s merely what these California parents were protesting. In fact, parents in the area created an Instagram account to express their “displeasure with the move” as noted by ABC7. They also encouraged other parents to keep their children home from school to protest the event.

On that Friday, parents stood outside of the school beginning at 8 a.m holding various signs and posters condemning the pro-LGBTQ motives of the school. Two trailers were also parked outside with large signs that read “Leave our kids alone."
Pride activists also showed up as a counter protest, insisting that kids needed to learn about gay crap and that schools are a great place for that to happen. The situation even got a little heated as the two sides became increasingly passionate and a scrimmage line was set up by LAPD.
Kelly Gonez, one of the school board members for the area stated that the book was harmless and that there’s no credibility for allegations that the book is “inappropriate for students.”
After looking into the contents of the book, Gonez isn’t that far off - at least not compared with the explicitly pornographic garbage being pushed in some middle and high school libraries. But while "The Great Big Book of Families" doesn't go into graphic details, it does intentionally introduce the topic of sexual orientation to small children and presents certain lifestyles as normative, a discussion that should be left up to parents - especially those who may hold a different worldview.
Kudos to parents in California who at least recognize the fact that kids are under severe attack by leftists in positions of authority. Hopefully, if things don’t change at that particular school, homeschooling becomes more popular.
