The school district, naturally, wasn’t interested. In fact, it made the outrageous and thoroughly false assertion that LGBTQ nonsense is “reality,” and therefore that pushing it is not ideological.

“Pride is a celebration of identities. Identity is a reality. It is not a principle, idea, or belief. Therefore, the recognition of Pride does not relate to ideological promotion,” the district claimed brazenly, per a screenshot shared by Libs of TikTok. “You indicate the district does not promote religious holidays on their social media platforms. This is correct. However, drawing comparison between the beliefs of a person or group and the reality of a person or group does not relate.”

Of course, “transgenderism” and all of its myriad attendant invented pronouns and “genders” is pure fiction, based on biological impossibility and extreme ideological bias. But what the school district really is admitting is that its administrators and educators’ belief system is anti-Judeo-Christian and pro-LGBTQ, and that only their belief system is allowed in their schools, despite the objections of parents who pay their incomes through taxes.

Separation of church and state” — a phrase that never appears in the Constitution — was never meant to keep Judeo-Christian religion out of the public square; the opposite is true. But it was meant to prevent such extreme and harmful discrimination as Peninsula School District displays.
