These are the people who want your kids.

Pro-trans athlete activist storms out of meeting room after yelling ‘Hail Satan’
In a peculiar exchange at the school board meeting, the protester yelled, “Y'all are a bunch of transphobic pieces of s**t and I hope you burn in hell,” before storming out of the room, and adding, “Hail Satan!”
Another activist chimed in afterwards and slammed the congregation for being “really afraid of authenticity and people being their own true selves.” The second pro-trans athlete activist continued, “You’re afraid of love, you’re afraid of solidarity. Y’all are crazy.”
The protester, while being escorted out by police, called out Shaw while addressing the people, “You're all just hear to kiss Sonja's f*****g a**.”
The Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) confirmed the incident in a statement and said, “Yes, public comments did include speakers saying, 'Hail Satan!'”
Speaking to Fox News, Christina Salazar, a parent attending the meeting, said that the discussion about the inclusion of trans athletes in girls' sports was “deeply unsettling,” and said, “Adults behaving in a sadistic and hateful way, all in the name of equality.”
Salazar continued, “There was even a teacher from my daughter's school who was interrupting the meeting yelling and said ''Hail Satan'' as he walked out and flipped everyone off.”
“I have a twin brother who also does track, and we are both the top hurdlers at our school. However, the difference is that he runs seconds faster than I am, & in the, it's in the exact same race.”

Another San Bernardino County mother, Nichole Vicario, told the outlet that while some protesters did identify themselves as “Satanists” and created commotion, the school board was commendable for maintaining the peace in the room.
A teacher couldn’t control himself and disrupted the board meeting. When told to escort himself out, this is how he acted.

She shared, “I also witnessed extreme and inappropriate behavior from the opposing side. Some individuals shouted 'Hail Satan,' identified themselves as Satanists and used vulgar, aggressive language throughout the meeting, even with children present.”
“Despite the chaos, the board remained composed and strong, clearly committed to protecting girls' sports, not just for Chino Valley, but as a stand for girls across California and potentially the entire country,” added Vicario.
CVUSD school board President Sonja Shaw also reflected on the protests, as she opened up to Fox News, saying, “At last night's board meeting, we passed several pro-parent and pro-female athlete resolutions that provide measures that protect girls sports and uphold the fundamental rights of parents to raise and guide their children without government interference or radical agendas.”
“In response, a small but loud group of outside agitators descended on our meeting, screaming, cussing and even chanting phrases like 'Hail Satan' all in front of families and children,” continued Shaw.
She added, “According to what was shared with me from their own social media posts, they tried to rally tons of outside groups to overwhelm our district, but what a complete embarrassment.”
The disgruntled Shaw asked rhetorically, “That's all they got?” before continuing, “A handful of angry, disruptive individuals trying to bully a community that's working to protect kids and ensure that education remains focused on learning, not divisive ideologies.”
Social media users enraged at pro-trans activists' bizarre behavior
Following the pro-trans activists' bizarre outburst at the Chino school board meeting, the social media users slammed them for blasphemy in the presence of children.
One of the netizens castigated, "It is a cult. Please tell me those are not teachers."
Someone else said, "At 0:14: "being their own true selves". Criminals are also being their own true selves. We cannot tolerate "being their own true selves" when it violates the rights of other people."

Another user noted, "Why do they all look like that? Because they are the weirdos and social outcasts that cling to a shared hobby in all things transweird. They aren't normal and have found a means to feel relevant and powerful ish. Normal folk are no longer caught in the "be kind" mentality at last."
