Be respectful of these parents' sincerely held religious beliefs while appealing to the reality that as Muslims we are a marginalized community and need to stand with others in need against the real bigots.

What is a "real bigot"? Why is someone who excludes a Muslim a real bigot and someone who excludes a Drag queen not a real bigot?
Marginalizing others is being a bigot, and hiding behind religion doesn't change that. Many Muslims believe that girls shouldn't be educated at all, let alone teach. Should we allow students to opt out of classes taught by a female?
Would you not be upset if we had a story time with women wearing traditional Muslim clothes (say a burka) and students were told they didn't have to listen or accept them because of the way they are dressed?
"I'm Christian, I don't want my kids to hear stories from someone wearing that, its against my beliefs."
Would you consider that Christian Religious Freedom or Christian Bigotry?
