When you're losing the liberal moms in Portland, you've gone too far. Portland mom urges people to 'be loud' after suing kids' school over pride flag | Fox News
Portland, Oregon, mother Allison Roberts told Fox News Digital Tuesday she hopes her fight with her children's elementary school over a trans-inclusive flag will inspire others to speak out for their beliefs.
Ms. Roberts describes herself as a liberal Democrat. (Is there any other kind allowed in Portland?
She didn't have a problem with the Pride Flag. It was the Trans Flag that was apparently was a bridge too far.
According to the Liberty Justice Center, which filed a lawsuit on behalf of Roberts last week, she initially expressed concern last year over Meriwether Lewis Elementary School's decision to repaint its traditional rainbow pride flag with an "Intersex-Inclusive Progress" variant and an "identity flower" assignment given to her 11-year-old child that asked students to identify and discuss their gender identity with classmates and teachers.
So the school trespassed her, even though she was speaking out away from the school, and a government agency really can't punish you over your speech.
Roberts was later issued a one-year trespass order after a heated exchange with another parent, barring her from attending school events, including her child's graduation ceremony. When she reached out to the school for clarification, Roberts was reportedly told it was a result of engaging in "harassment, intimidation, and threatening behavior" as part of a pattern of "animus and harassment targeting vulnerable members of [the] community."
Here is the quote that the Left hates.
There's no hate speech exception to the First Amendment.
