Protestors flock to Orange County school board meeting following Lt. Gov. Robinson's condemnation of some LGBTQ-related materials

Two dueling groups of protestors spent hours outside of the Orange County Board of Education's meeting on Monday night.

One group was at the meeting to show support for Robinson. In addition to comments about members of the LGBTQ community, he condemned some school districts in a video over the weekend for pushing "an LGBTQ agenda."

"I am here today because I know that Hillsborough, specifically Orange County, is one of the first counties where we encountered this sexualized curriculum actually in the textbooks -- things that are being forced to be taught to kids as young as fifth grade, sixth grade [and] seventh grade," said Michelle Morrow.

Other people at the school board meeting came to protest Robinson's comments and support an "inclusive curriculum."

"The idea that I, as an educator, brainwashed children into being trans or bisexual or queer is absurd," said teacher Jayme Carr. "If I could brainwash, my kids would be doing better in school. I can't express this enough -- we are not attempting to indoctrinate our students."

Parents aligned with Robinson's message printed out images from "Gender Queer" onto signs outside of A.L. Stanback Middle School on Monday.

A spokesman for Robinson identified schools in Wake, Orange and Chatham counties as places where those books were available. A Wake County Public School System spokeswoman could not confirm if the books were available.
