An unusual video depicts numerous trans rights activists staging a silent “La Macarena” dance protest at a recent New York City education council meeting.
The gathering, overseen by the Community Education Council for District 2 (CEC 2), occurred on Feb. 26. Footage from a YouTube livestream of the event captures the demonstrators quietly executing the iconic ’90s dance, with some participants seemingly out of sync.
The impromptu dance performance commenced after an audience member named Jo Vitale took the stage to express solidarity with Resolution 248, a motion ratified the previous year to explore the repercussions of permitting biological males to engage in sports competition against women.
Council members appeared to hide their smiles while the activists silently danced in the background as Vitale spoke.

CEC District 2 “oversees public elementary/middle schools in NYC Community School District 2,” according to its Facebook page. Its schools are in the Lower East Side, Hell’s Kitchen and Chinatown, among other Big Apple neighborhoods.
Fox News Digital reached out to CEC 2 but has not yet heard back.
CEC 2 Vice President Leonard Silverman told the New York Post that he “appreciate[s] their advocacy, but it’s completely misplaced.”

“But they still keep on showing up, and it’s really disruptive because it’s discouraged other parents from talking about other educational issues,” he said.
