A member of Maryland's Montgomery County Council said Muslim children were aligned with 'White supremacists' after they opposed LGBTQ content in the curriculum.
," the Democrat continued."That's not an infringement on, you know, particular religious freedoms, just as we cannot allow folks to opt out of teachings about evolution."He said,"I'm here to talk about my rights. My religion teaches to respect all religions and all human beings and their rights. So does my country's law. And I want my right back to have an opt-out option.
Another Muslim child, Yasmeen Elkoshairi, also a recent graduate, said,"Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right that protects the conscience of all people. It allows us to think, express and act upon what we deeply believe. But around the world and in the United States, this freedom is eroding."
