Christian Student Blocked from Graduating Because She Refuses to Take ‘LGBTQ+ Affirming’ Course – Family Fighting Back

Published

Some institutions would improve merely by scrapping them and starting fresh.

The federal government leaps to mind, as does the American public school system.

According to Fox News, the family of an accomplished Christian student, denied graduation over her refusal to take what they described as an “LGBTQ+ affirming” and “religiously discriminatory” health course mandated by the Montgomery County Board of Education in overwhelmingly liberal Montgomery County, Maryland, has filed a petition with the Maryland Supreme Court in hopes of bringing relief to their daughter as her senior year in high school approaches its conclusion.

The student, referred to by the outlet as “Jane,” has amassed a 4.76 weighted GPA. She also scored a 1450 (96 percentile) on the SAT.

In liberal Maryland, however — speaking of places that would improve by starting fresh — that academic record apparently counts for little. Only by genuflecting at the altar of wokeness may a student matriculate.

In the 2024 election, former Vice President Kamala Harris won more than 75 percent of the vote in Montgomery County.

Harris lost, of course, but bitter liberals continue to hold Jane’s future hostage.

“She’s pretty distraught about not being able to graduate with all her friends and experience that rite of passage,” Jane’s father said.

The controversy began in 2022, when Jane’s parents learned that their daughter’s required health class, unlike in previous years, would include LGBT content throughout the entire year-long course, as opposed to limiting that content to the course’s Family Life and Human Sexuality unit.

The parents objected.

They further objected when they discovered that alleged teacher-training documents, consistent with the Maoist practice that dominates much of modern education, identified “privileged” and “oppressed” groups, with Christians, of course, falling under the “privileged” category.

Funny how no one in Montgomery County seems to recognize the irony. Jane, “privileged” due to her Christian beliefs, apparently cannot graduate due to her Christian beliefs.

All efforts to resolve the dispute through alternative courses have failed.

Moreover, Jane’s parents did not object to the LGBT content in the Family Life and Sexuality unit. They objected to its inclusion throughout the year-long course.

“We are trying to get MCPS to keep that teaching restricted to the Family Life and Human Sexuality part of the curriculum so we can get notice of it and opt-out our daughter, or if MCPS is allowed to spread LGBTQ+ instruction throughout the entire health class, as its teacher instruction materials say it is doing, it follows that MCPS should allow us to opt-out our daughter from the entire class” they wrote in a March 2024 letter to the Maryland State Board of Education. “We are trying to get MCPS to refrain from discriminating against religion.”

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has already begun hearing arguments in a separate religious liberty case involving Montgomery County.

In the short run, of course, one hopes that Jane will find the relief she very obviously deserves. Denying an accomplished young student graduation over a rinky-dink health course would qualify as maddening even in the absence of the religious liberty issue. With that issue added to the equation, the graduation denial amounts to tyranny.

In the long run, however, the solution involves scrapping the entire public school system. Keep the public funding, but destroy every current institution that gorges itself on taxpayer dollars. Eliminate the entire certification racket, along with state departments and university colleges of Education.

Tear it all out by the roots. Then plant the seeds of a new system that serves students rather than woke ideology.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
