“Stuff Some Adults Don’t Want You to Read” at Langley

Johnny the Walrus for the elementary libraries.

Did they have table display in January for the anniversary of the insurrection?

Of course it was at Langley. At any other high school in this region, parents would be applauding the librarian, but the rich white bored moms at Langley are outraged. Too many similarities to Loudon families.

The sad thing is that it is Black History month. Instead of focusing on that and promoting books by black authors and about black history, they are creating displays to cause issues and distract from that.

And PPs all saying it was clever and all that - you are pretty transparent. I know you aren’t dumb enough to really believe they did it to promote reading.

They one have one single book display in the entire Langley library? Those poor little rich kids.

I too am against graphic depictions of sex acts in public school libraries.

Howeverrrrrrrr…..

Since I haven’t been in the Langley library lately I would have to have photos of every display table before agreeing that this collection replaced what would usually be done for black history month. Such a claim needs to be proven.

Let us know when you’ve done that. Thanks.

This is hilarious. Love it.

It’s not true.

It is true. It’s at the bottom of EVERY email FCPS parents get from Gatehouse. Every notice.

You said it was in the principal’s email. It was not. It’s not even in the FCPS and At Large member emails. Literally nothing. Just unsubscribe information which is required. You’re a lying troll.

The following language ROUTINELY appears at the bottom of e-mails from FCPS:

“ Parents of FCPS students may update contact information online through weCare@School. This information may also be updated by the Student Information Assistant at each child’s school.

To withdraw your child(ren) from FCPS, please notify your school directly to remove your contact information and ensure you will not receive FCPS emails in the future.

FCPS employees may update contact information through UConnect.

Individuals with no affiliation to the school system must fill out the Removal Request to have their contact information removed from eNotify.”

No, it was not in the body of the email from the principal. It was included in what people received when that email was sent out. So, it becomes part of the message FCPS sends, ALL OF THE TIME.

If don’t like that tacked on to your correspondence, take it up with Gatehouse, and all the lawyers they pay to sue parents. But don’t flame someone as a lying troll when you don’t like the truth they tell.

It's on the last FCPS email about gun violence. I'm guessing one of the PP didn't actually read their emails from FCPS.

I am a Langley parent and I don’t think most Langley parents care one way or the other about the sign. As my daughter said when I asked her what the sign said, “I don’t even go to the library so I don’t know what you are talking about.” LOL. I believe this issue came from a Cooper parent during a rising 9th grader parent meeting. I believe (but I’m not 100% sure) that this parent is the same one who took her kids to Fortestville Elementary on the Tuesday after Youngkin issued his mask Executive Order and demanded her kids go maskless, then filmed herself ranting about the injustice of it all when the school denied her request. Now she’s doing this with the book issue. I wonder what will come next?

I think this is hilarious. Kids can see and read ANYTHING on the internet. Do people really think that they can keep kids from reading and learning by banning books in a school library????

Oh - now they can read Mein Kampf at school.

I think you’re right. I’m a Langley parent too and my kid didn’t know what I was asking about. It’s not at all a big deal unless someone is on a mission to make a fuss for attention. I support the librarian.

I do not want to dictate what schools teach my kids, I just want schools to reiterate to our children that parents have the biggest stake in their lives. And, no matter what, their parents and what their parents provide, encourage, and instill in kids are the biggest indicators of success - not replaceable by anything a school can, nor should, do for children. Parenting is hard enough these days without having to fight and counter what adults, who are not in any way (legally, financially, emotionally) responsible for our children, are "teaching."

You got all of this from a sign that read: "Stuff that some adults don't want you to read"? That's quite a stretch.

There's a fantastically funny video circulating with a guy interviewing people for their opinions on whether or not a book should be banned from school libraries. He lists all of the atrocities in the book... genocide, rape, profanity, murder, etc. and these people's faces get more and more horrified. He finally asks if they agree the book should be banned and all eagerly agree. Then his "gotcha" moment is when he says something like "excellent, so if you'll sign this petition, we'll get the Bible banned."

Most likely it came from the images (drawings) of pornography and pedophilia on some of the books on that display. Unfortunately, even kids who can’t read would be affected from looking at those images. No adults should feel entitled to expose someone else’s kids to such materials and believe they know better than the parent, unless of course…
