Democrat Maryland governor says that restricting books on child sex changes is the same as ‘castrating them’

“I continue hearing people making the argument that we’re doing it because we want to prevent our students from having discomfort or guilt," Moore said during the interview on MSNBC with former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.

“Because we don’t want our students to be able to really wrestle with these really difficult things in times when they are maturing as individuals and difficult historical points. But the thing I realized and I wanted to speak out about is that’s actually not true. It’s a guise," he continued.

“It’s not about making kids feel uncomfortable," he said. "It’s about telling other kids that they shouldn’t understand their own power. It’s castrating them.”

He noted, “Because if you know your history you know your power. The reason that I know that every single day I can stand in my own skin and I can stand in my own power is because I know my history.”

A lawsuit was recently filed by three families in Montgomery County, Maryland, following the school board’s decision to not allow them to opt out their children from sexually explicit education material.

"Freedom of Religion is a fundamental human right that protects the conscience of old people and allows us to think, expressed, and act upon what we deeply believe," said a parent who opposes the curriculum being taught in schools.

"The issue of gender and sexuality are influenced by our faith, and we should not be caricatured as intolerant and all and our face perceived to be subversive because it doesn't align with your beliefs and tolerance of the faith community threatens to erode support for religious freedom. Therefore eroding the benefits it provides for everyone."
