Editor's Note: Carolyn Lyons is the superintendent of Middleborough public schools. On Thursday, April 13, during the superintendent's report, she addressed the Middleborough School Committee about a protest by two adults that occurred that morning. The two individuals stood on public property near a public school with signs that said "There are only two genders" and "Keep woke politics out of our schools."
Lyons criticized the protest, saying that "exposing our children to messages that marginalized groups of students is a safety issue." She also used the acronym "DEI," which stands for "diversity, equity, and inclusion."
Christian protesters held signs outside the Marriott Copley Hotel in the Back Bay of Boston on Friday, April 28, where SatanCon 2023, a convention of satanists, is taking place this weekend.
A reporter for NewBostonPost took an approximately two-minute video of the scene at about 2 p.m. Friday on the sidewalk outside the hotel.
