Military officer labeled mom ‘safety’ concern for opposing LGBT sexuality posters at elementary school
December 10, 2022 | New Jersey
A high-ranking military officer labeled a New Jersey mother a “safety concern” and reported her to local police for criticizing her child’s elementary school for displaying posters in the hallway about sexual preferences visible to small children without parents’ consent.
As Fox News reported Thursday, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Christopher Schilling informed the local police department that the mother, Angela Reading, prompted “safety concerns” by posting her disapproval with posters at her 7-year-old child’s school in a local Facebook group.
The posters displayed information on the different kinds of sexuality, including “polysexual,” and were part of a “safe space” posters project at North Hanover Township Elementary School.
Reading is also a Northern Burlington Board of Education member and the mother of a 7-year-old elementary school student.
“I was more than surprised. I was scared,” Reading said in an interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday. “I actually pulled my kids from school the day I found out. It was mind-boggling, and I was worried for them when the U.S. military comes after you for simply raising concern about a public poster that is widely available for all to see.”
The officer indicated on his Facebook page that there were “security concerns” surrounding the mother’s post, according to Fox News. Schilling added that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is working with local law enforcement to “monitor the situation” and “ensure the continued safety of the entire community.”
“The current situation involving Ms. Reading’s actions has caused safety concerns for many families,” he wrote. “The Joint Base leadership takes this situation very seriously and from the beginning have had the Security Forces working with multiple state and local law enforcement agencies to monitor the situation to ensure the continued safety of the entire community.”… (Excerpt from The Christian Post)
