The debate over wokeness in education really heated up yesterday in Glendale, California, when anti-LGBTQ protesters went crazy on peaceful LGBTQ supporters.
Check out this footage:

The peaceful pro-LGBTQ protester is the one who got arrested? When it’s the anti-LGBTQ protesters who were in the wrong? Talk about injustice!

Anti-LGBTQ protestors have now held two demonstrations in Los Angeles under a week.
On Friday Anti-LGBTQ protestors showed up at an elementary school in north Hollywood.

Whew! Thank God that’s over. Those LGBTQ-phobes were obviously way out of line, taking to the streets to speak out against schools grooming and indoctrinating their kids … wait, what?
The people protesting schools incorporating LGBTQ stuff into children’s education are the bad guys? And the counter-protesters are the good guys? Maybe we need to look at this from another angle. Like a more honest one, for starters:
An all out brawl is underway outside the Glendale School Board meeting in Los Angeles between Armenian-American families angry at the school doing pride events and far left protesters that have gathered to oppose them.

Far-Left? So the counter-protesters aren’t just a bunch of peaceful activists trying to promote love and acceptance of the LGBTQ community?

Whoa, whoa, whoa … Antifa? Those guys? Seems like that’s pretty relevant here. So weird that the reporter guy who posted all those videos never mentioned that the counter-protesters were Antifa. Kinda puts what happened in a new light.
Why did antifa show up here other than to start shit? https://t.co/2hRHYgxJK2

That’s the only reason they showed up, as a matter of fact. More from The Daily Signal:
Following the Glendale school board’s decision to incorporate LGBTQ+ “Pride” festivals and celebrations into June school days, dozens of parents pulled students from classrooms—with some elementary schools seeing only 40% of students show up for class on June 2.
Additional documents revealed that Glendale staff have attempted to incorporate LGBTQ+ materials and ideology into other curriculum. One assistant principal even told staff to teach children that every person is, by default, “queer” and “socialist.”
Parents from the traditionally conservative Armenian and Hispanic communities in Glendale planned to protest the board’s decisions at an upcoming school board meeting. Antifa Southern California called for activists to counter protest against these parents, whom they labeled “hate groups.”
According to The Daily Signal, the sorts of things these “hate groups” believe include that Pride celebrations shouldn’t be incorporated into June school days and that biological boys shouldn’t be changing in girls’ locker rooms.
The more we think about it, the more we think it’s the concerned parents who are the good guys. And that Antifa going to war in the streets on behalf of the Glendale Unified School District doesn’t make the Glendale Unified School District look too good.

Expect to see plenty more of this before all is said and done.
I know this community well… the leftists made a big mistake trying to indoctrinate these kids behind their parents’ backs. https://t.co/2hPuhhnQ0o
— Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) June 7, 2023
They sure did.
It didn’t need to be this way.
All they had to do is stop trying to groom kids. https://t.co/Z8JvzKcYmp

All you had to do was leave minors alone, but you couldn’t. Perverts.

Update:
Andy Ngô reports that the Armenian American parents were inspired to protest over this:
Local sources tell me it was this use of Armenian colors/symbols mixed with LGBTQI+, pup play pride in the shape of a Christian cross that incensed Armenian-American families in Los Angeles & caused them to mobilize against the school boards. This eventually led to yesterday’s… pic.twitter.com/iVAVhZGtSU
— Andy Ngô 🏳️🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) June 7, 2023
If we were them, we’d be righteously indignant, too. Just wow.
Woah, this is just extremely insulting…. I know Armenians and they will not tolerate it.
— Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) June 7, 2023
It gets even more disgusting when you consider what the colors of the Armenian flag stand for:
Red: blood of the 1.5 million Armenians murdered during the genocide.
Blue: freedom and prosperity in the homeland.
Orange: courage and bravery of the Armenian people.

Sick.
Welp that's the most evil thing I have seen all morning.

Update:
We have no doubt that the Armenian Americans and Hispanic Americans will appreciate being labeled as ultra MAGA white supremacists, too:
BREAKING: ULTRA MAGA White Supremacist Trump supporters violently attacked Pro-LGBT demonstrators outside of a Glendale, CA schoolboard meeting.
— Erica Marsh (@ericareport) June 7, 2023
It was inevitable.
Congratulations Armenians, you now have been deemed “Ultra MAGA”
Now it doesn’t matter if you’ve always voted Democrat, for stepping off the Democrat belt fed narrative- you are now a Nazi. Welcome to the critical thinking side. We have cookies. https://t.co/iPcmJiTNO8— GOPPouncer (@Mellecon) June 7, 2023
