MN Child Protection League board member shouted down during presentation on transgender issues

(Fargo, ND) -- A member of the Minnesota Child Protection League is talking about her presentation at a meeting of the Becker School Board in Becker, Minnesota on March 14th.

Julie Quist said she and others were invited by the school board to make a presentation on issues pertaining to LGBTQ students in the district. Quist said they were invited to give a presentation featuring a viewpoint different than that which was provided during a previous presentation to the board by a representative of OutFront Minnesota.

Quist said she was shouted down by students in the room and was unable to complete her presentation. 

"My part in it was basically to be ten minutes of giving examples of the kind of curriculum and books that come into the schools under the policies of inclusion that you find i many schools around the state and around the country so that school board members would have the opportunity to actually know what it was they were dealing with," said Quist. 

Quist said she and her colleagues would continue to make themselves available to the Becker School Board if they receive invitations to make presentations in the future.
