As Trump 2.0 takes aim at the Department of Education, parents are becoming increasingly bold School Board Meetings and it’s high time.

Parents in Upstate New York gathered at a school board meeting to question the content in the “children’s book” entitled, The Rainbow Parade: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Identities and Allies by Emily Neilson. To give you a taste of the story’s content, here is a description:

One day in June, Mommy, Mama, and Emily take the train into the city to watch the Rainbow Parade. The three of them love how all the people in the street are so loud, proud, and colorful, but when Mama suggests they join the parade, Emily feels nervous. Standing on the sidewalkis one thing, but walking in the parade? Surely that takes something special.

This joyful and affirming picture book about a family’s first Pride parade, reminds all readers that sometimes pride takes practice and there’s no “one way” to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community.”-Penguinandrandomhouse.com

“Emily” has a “Mama” and a “Mommy”. “Emily” (whose dead name may be Eddie) is also questioning her/his(?) gender identity with two “Mommies” in the picture. What to do on a Saturday afternoon? Drag Queen/DJ brunch is so passe. Mama and Mommy decide to take Emily to the local pride parade. (How fun!)
