Miami Dade County school board members rejected a proposal Thursday that would have recognized October as “LGBTQ history month,” according to Politico.
Miami-Dade County school board members acknowledged LGBTQ History Month in 2021 but did not do so in 2022 after the school board was realigned ideologically with members endorsed by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to Politico. School board members voted against the measure 5-3 following hours of public comment and debate on the issue.
“This is about someone’s sexual preference and not a cultural issue,” Roberto Alonso, a Miami-Dade County school board member endorsed by DeSantis said, according to Politico.
The measure was introduced to “remind all cultures within our wider community
of the important roles that LGBTQ people have taken in shaping the social, historical, legal,
and political worlds we live in today,” according to the proposal.
School boards around the country are embracing parental rights and rejecting pro-LGBTQ measures. Rocklin Unified School District in California approved a policy Wednesday to notify parents if their child “identifies” as a different gender. Religious parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, rallied in June against new school policies that require children be taught LGBTQ material in classrooms.
DeSantis signed the “Parental Rights in Education Act” in March 2022 which prohibits classroom discussions on gender identity and sexual orientation in Florida’s K-3 grades or “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards,” according to the legislation.
DeSantis endorsed school board member Monica Colucci, Chair Maria Teresa Rojas and Alonso for the Miami Dade County school board, according to FloridaPolitics.
“I really don’t know how a teacher is expected to recognize, observe and celebrate this month without being perceived by students’ parents as instruction or without crossing the line and becoming instruction,” Vice Chair Danny Espino said, according to Politico.
Miami Dade County School District did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
