A New Haven Elementary school has canceled a planned upcoming DEI unit, including a Drag Queen Story Hour, in response to reported threats against students and staff, Renee McGuinness of the Vermont Family Alliance informed VDC today.
The DQSH was scheduled for Friday, April 10 at the Beeman Elementary School in the Addison County town. The planned event was discussed at a March 4 school board meeting. Concerns about security were the subject of an emergency meeting of the town selectboard this week.
The full statement from Vermont Family Alliance today reads as follows:
“Beeman Elementary has canceled the entire DEI unit due to alleged communications that threaten the safety of students and staff.
“Vermont Family Alliance condemns threatening teachers, school personnel, and students. Any legitimate threats should be investigated and prosecuted.
“While we are pleased that the entire DEI identity unit has been cancelled, the letter from MAUSD Superintendent Patrick Reen and Beeman Elementary school principal Stephanie Sumner expresses intent to continue to teach DEI and LGBTQ+ ideologies embedded in curriculum, which may violate some parents’ beliefs, thus violating their rights under both the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
“According to the federal Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), parents have a right to inspect all instructional materials to be used in connection with any survey, analysis, or evaluation at school. schools must get express written permission from parents or guardians before a child may be subjected to questioning about mental health, psychological challenges, political affiliations, sexual attitudes, and other topics.
“Parents must continue to be vigilant by requesting to see their child’s curriculum content, opt their children out of lessons they deem inappropriate, insist on an alternative lesson, and report violations to the U.S. Department of Education. Parents have a right to view their child’s curriculum and school records under the Federal Education Rights and Protection Act (FERPA)
“Vermont Family Alliance has resources and recommendations for those seeking guidance and legal assistance in navigating these conversations with school officials, teachers, and staff.”

Until these teachers and schools stop grooming our kids, I’m sure they can expect to be “pressured” pushing this crap. It’s not okay on school grounds, especially around kids that young. These perverts can read books to their gay buddies at their drag clubs. This crap needs to stop, and if it takes a reminder, that parents and the communities will only take so much, so be it. Oh wait, was I supposed to be more politically correct and condemn threats? If you can’t differentiate between right and wrong, expect others to explain it to you, especially when it comes to children. School, teachers, and these perverts should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.
If there were actual criminal threats, those would be reported to police. Most likely, they simply “feel” unsafe and then double down on their threat to continue to include diversity in curriculum. Parents need to be vigilant.
Good news!
False flag, unless there is a police report. Most people would not waste the air to speak against this.
Areal truth s likely nobody was interested, and rightfully so.
They will not stop. It’s already breached the golden dome.

I’ll bet you ten bucks there were no actual threats. Would be fun to query the local PD to see if any reports were made. More likely some invented drama to elicit sympathy for the “marginalized”.
