Michael Guglielmo: Dad dresses as Julius Caesar at school board meeting to protest against teacher's gender-fluid attire
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE: Michael Guglielmo, the father of an elementary school student in Concord, New Hampshire, dressed up as Julius Caesar for a recent school board meeting on Monday, March 6, to protest against teachers' gender-fluid attire that helps facilitate gender confusion.
"I am Caesar. Julius Caesar of Rome, the emperor. I am also a female," Michael Guglielmo said. "Does anybody here believe that? That I am Julius Caesar? Anybody believe that? No, of course not. It's ridiculous."

While many attendees waved signs reading 'Choose Love' and 'Love is Stronger than Hate', Guglielmo showed up to Monday's school board meeting wearing a Julius Caesar costume as a way of protesting having teachers who wear gender-fluid attire.
"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.
Gender-confusion
Guglielmo had accused the school of creating a space for gender confusion by allowing an art teacher who identifies with the LGBTQ community to continue teaching in the elementary school. He called for the suspension of CSD Superintendent Kathleen Murphy and Christa McAuliffe School Principal Kristen Gallo.
Michael Guglielmo banned from school property
After a particular incident concerning the art teacher Silas Allard, Guglielmo has been banned from occupying the elementary school’s property. Guglielmo has been outspoken about the art teacher who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community for his decision to wear traditionally female clothing during the school day. He has also criticized Allard's previous social media posts, arguing they are inappropriate for children.
According to the letter CSD sent to Michael Guglielmo, he had asked Allard to take a photograph to which Allard agreed. Then, he proceeded to ask Allard to pose for the photo which Allard denied. CSD deemed Guglielmo’s actions as harassment. His criticisms prompted CSD to place Allard on leave and launch an investigation into the issue. However, CSD decided to bring Allard back to the classroom. This particular act of him dressing up as Julius Caesar is also a protest for bringing teacher Allard back.
