Justin Trudeau blames ‘American right-wing’ for Muslims opposing LGBTQ curriculum: ‘Leave our kids alone!’By Hannah Grossman, Fox News

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed the “American right-wing” for Canadian Muslims’ opposition to gender ideology and LGBTQ curriculum in K-12 education.
The video was of Trudeau speaking with the Muslim community last week at a Calgary mosque – Baitun Nur Mosque – after hundreds of protesters rallied against gender ideology in schools, chanting “Leave our kids alone.”
The frustration reached a boiling point after audio surfaced of an Edmonton Public Schools teacher berating Muslim students for skipping school in order to avoid pride events.
“It goes two ways. If you want to be respected for who you are, if you don’t want to suffer prejudice for your religion, your color of skin or whatever, then you better give it back to people who are different from you. That’s how it works,” said the teacher.
A Muslim individual explained to Trudeau where the community was coming from, according to the video. “I ask you, Mr. Prime Minister, please protect our culture, our belief, the sin that you are doing to them.”
He responded, “First of all, there is an awful lot of misinformation and disinformation out there [from] people on social media, particularly fueled by the American right-wing are spreading a lot of untruths about what is actually… in the curriculum.”
Trudeau’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
On June 25, in Calgary, Alberta, hundreds of protesters screamed “Leave our kids alone!” and “Our kids, our choice!”
