New Hampshire father banned from elementary school property dresses Julius Caesar at board meeting
A father from New Hampshire who had been banned from setting foot on the grounds of an elementary school showed up at a board meeting dressed as Julius Caesar to argue how the school district was 'facilitating gender confusion' because the school employs an male art teacher who wears women's clothes.
Guglielmo's claims are based around allowing art teacher, Silas Allard to continue to teach as the school. The teacher, who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, typically dresses in women's clothing during the school day.
He also alleged that he Allard had been posting inappropriate material on social media.
In full Roman garb, the father announced: 'I am Caesar. Julius Caesar of Rome, the emperor. I am also a female,' Guglielmo announced in video footage of the meeting.
'Does anybody here believe that? That I am Julius Caesar? Anybody believe that? No, of course not. It's ridiculous. I'm not a woman. Engaging and facilitating gender confusion, gender dysphoria is developmentally injurious to the mental and emotional capacity of children…,' Guglielmo stated.
Dad, Michael Guglielmo, showed up to a school board meeting dressed up as Julius Caesar to assert his claims that the public school district is promoting gender confusion
Guglielmo called for suspension of the superintendent and principal for allowing an art teacher who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community to teach
Guglielmo went on to call for the suspension of the Concord School District superintendent Kathleen Murphy and Christa McAuliffe Elementary Principal Kristen Galloand for their role in 'facilitating gender confusion' by allowing Allard to continue teaching there.
According to Guglielmo, the school district had been promoting a social agenda instead of focusing on teaching truth and facts.
According to a letter written by CSD sent to Guglielmo, the dad asked Allard to take a photograph, to which Allard agreed, reports Fox News.
The Concord-resident then asked Allard to pose which he then denied. CSD deemed Guglielmo's behavior as harassment.
Guglielmo, who spent spent 17 ½ years in state prison, according to InDepthNH also has a long criminal record that began in 1985 after a violent standoff with Manchester, New Hampshire police.
In 2019, he was accused of 'grabbing a minor in a sexual manner,' reports WBUR.
His criticisms prompted an investigation by the school district and Allard was initially placed on leave, but the district ultimately decided to bring Allard back into the classroom.
Guglielmo continued to remain vocal in his opposition to the teacher's presence in the school, leading to him being banned from the school's property.
At the school board meeting, Guglielmo argued that the school board had a duty to act in the best interest of the children and to prioritize teaching truth and facts over promoting a social agenda.

He stated how as taxpayers, parents deserved to have their children taught what they paid for, and not be subjected to inappropriate material or a biased curriculum.
While many attendees at the meeting waved signs reading 'Choose Love' and 'Love is Stronger than Hate,' Guglielmo's controversial appearance as Julius Caesar garnered attention and sparked further discussion about the role of LGBTQ+ representation in public schools.
'Your duty is to act in the best interest of children. It is to teach truth, not lies. Facts, not fiction. Biology, not a social agenda.' Guglielmo said.
'As taxpayers, we deserve to have our children taught what we pay for, and it's not a social agenda, whether it be right or left,' he added.
In response to the controversy, a CSD spokesperson stated that the district 'rejects all forms of hatred and discrimination' and strives to 'rejoice' in the diversity of its community.
In schools across the nation, parents have been object to controversial topics being taught in school including critical race theory, together with certain books in public libraries showing a widening gap between those who support diversity and those who regard it as a threat.

Guglielmo featured in the news earlier in the decade when his five-year-old boy lost his battle with a rare immune disorder that saw him become the face of a worldwide campaign for bone marrow donors.
Giovanni Guglielmo was born on July 24 2006 with NEMO, a debilitating disease that meant his life depended on getting a successful transplant.
Doctors diagnosed the condition at five months and the baby's heart-wrenching story was published on the front page of a local newspaper, prompting dozens of people to call the Children's Hospital Boston with offers of help.
Doctors had told his parents the chances of finding an exact match for the desperately sick infant were about 1 in 20,000. On any given day, 6,000 people worldwide are searching for a bone-marrow match and only three in 10 find one.
Unable to find a match for the baby, doctors tried alternative treatment involving taking blood cells from an umbilical cord donor to try to build a new immune system.
A billboard was erected in Times Square with the tiny child's adorable photo on it, his wide eyes pleading for help, and the campaign for bone marrow intensified.
Websites and Facebook pages dedicated to the young boy popped up all over the internet as his inspiring will to live and saddening stories tugged at the heart strings of people world wide. News channels took immediate interest in his story, joining the mission to save Giovanni.
