Anoka School District puts bigot Bryan Lindquist onto anti bullying committee and local anti bullying Group is denied their application to March In the Halloween Parade.
Source: Huffington Post Bryan Lindquist is a member of The Parents Action League, a local group that civil rights organization The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated a hate group that attacks homosexuality. He was recently named to sit on the district's 25-member anti-bullying task force composed of students, school employees and community members, and mothers Tammy Aaberg and Melissa Thompson are outraged.
"That would be like asking somebody from the [Ku Klux] Klan to sit on the committee that plans black history month," Thompson told KSTP.
Tammy has a right to be so upset. Her gay son just committed suicide on account of bullying and founded justins gift ,to address the same sort of bullying Bryan Lindquist encourages with his anti LGBT rhetoric.

East Aurora schools May Bow to Hate Group And Vote Tonight To Rescind Trans Policy
Update: A sad day in Aurora as the trans policy is revoked.
Full story on CBSlocal
The possible win for a hate group is a failure for Illinois human rights groups to organise effectively.
The rational given for rescinding the trans policy was since there were only a couple trans people in the School district and they had not received any complaints from them, the school board felt the policy would be unnecessary.
The reality is they were intimidated by the hate group the Illinois Family Institute's email campaign which not only demands a repeal of the policy but in addition the firing of the School Board as well.
You can attend the meeting tonight at East Aurora School Service Center located at 417 Fifth Street in Aurora and will be Friday, Oct. 19 at 5:30 p.m.
