Geez, just homeschool or do private if you are going to analyze every thing the school does.

She is a Christian influencer who works with the Family Foyndation. She doesn't even know that the Fairfsx School Board has 12 members (she says it is 16).
This is an operation to distract us from the OPSEC violations with Signal.

DP. So now a mom speaking to the SB is an "operation"? Do you even hear yourself?

It is like a day of incorporating the acknowledgement that gay people exist in the existing FLE program. Chill out with the overreaction.

That’s not what it’s about and you know it.

I actually read the curriculum so yes, that is what it is about. Also necessary for bullying prevention, frankly.

The board wanted to introduce gender identity lessons in elementary schools, despite the overwhelming objection of parents who were surveyed. That’s the context in which the video was made.

This is a misrepresentation. I looked up the actual "curriculum" and it is acknowledging some kids have two moms or two dads at kindergarten age and some kids call themselves a different gender than how they were born at fifth grade age. All absolutely necessary for bullying prevention. Also if it is FLE, parents can opt out .

Fifth grade is absolutely the wring age to introduce that.

ALL of the kids at that age are feeling uncomfortable and self conscious with their bodies.

The only reason to intriduce it in fifth is to put the idea in their head while they are still impressionable kids but also while they are naturally going through body discomfort and self consciousness.

The only thing they should be told is that feeling awkward and not liking your body changes is natural, normal, and will pass in a year or two.

So you're afraid that if your kids hear from a teacher that transgender people exist, they will change their gender?

I find people cheering on the attack on our school system by the world’s richest man to be bullying. Have you seen the devastation he has wrought on federal employee, universities, science, lawyers and more? I would like to keep our local schools functioning for our kids. Not to be political fodder for this musk burn it down regime.

Musk retweeted a video, he did not attack anyone.

The video is from a legitimately concerned parent.

If FCPS doesn’t want to become national news then maybe they shouldn’t do things that blatantly go against what parents want.

That’s called having an agenda.

FCPS deserves to be called out for that agenda.

Exactly this.

But parents disagree on what they want. Every parent has their own agenda. Some will align with the school system, some won't. MAGA parents are the worst about trying to foist their crazy hate on everyone else.

When the survey results *overwhelmingly* indicate that MOST parents do not want gender ideology being taught in elementary school, then that is sending a very clear message. But sure, call all of those parents, "MAGA." Talk about crazy hate...

WTF is "gender ideology"?! From where I sit, the most ideological people around gender are those that insist that there is one way to be a man and one way to be a woman and any deviation from their beliefs is cause for hatred.

I have a fifth grader. He already knows about trans kids existing. Zero concerns for him becoming trans. But lots of concerns that avoiding simply acknowledging trans kids existence when your kids WILL encounter it at some point will lead to bullying. Far more worried about bullying than grooming based on simply acknowledging that this exists. Bullying is the major concern.

The issue is that schools are attempting to teach and normalize what is, in reality, a fringe scenario. There might be one gay couple or a handful of LGBTQ individuals in a given school, but the curriculum often presents it as though it’s widespread and ubiquitous. This creates a misleading impression for children—making them believe that being gay or transgender is far more common than it actually is.

Recent surveys highlight this effect. A 2021 Gallup poll found that while only about 7.2% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ, younger generations—especially Gen Z—believe the percentage is much higher. In fact, a 2023 YouGov poll revealed that many young people estimate that around 30–40% of the population is gay or transgender. This stark overestimation isn’t accidental—it reflects the success of an agenda that seeks to normalize and promote these identities beyond their actual prevalence in society.

When kids are constantly exposed to messaging that overrepresents LGBTQ identities, it begins to shape their perception of what is “normal.” That’s the real issue—this isn’t just about representation; it’s about redefinition.

+ 1. There is at least one very angry person here who is upset because a mom spoke up when she was being ignored. Very angry.

WE HATE LYING POS REPUBLICANS USING OUR SCHOOLS AS POLITICAL FODDER.

Good for the mom in the video for speaking up!

Yep. Basic sex education is all that's needed, and certainly not for K-3.

You all sound like you are not FCPS parents or you would know what FLE is. Is this forum just being astroturfed? Every commenter seems unfamiliar with FLE.

Agree! It’s seems weirdly coordinated responses by people who don’t live here.

This thread has attracted DCUM's resident MAGA trolls. Of course they don't know what they heck they're talking about.

Musk’s goon squad. He sends them out to attack people and organizations every day.

It really seemed astroturfed from the first few comments. Several were clearly unaware of existing FLE curriculum.

You are willfully missing the point. It is not the specific FLE curriculum you are citing. It is the fact that no one in FCPS listens to anything parents say. Survey after survey just for show.

I get that you are on here defending your work. This tweet is just the beginning.

Just a parent who is tired of kids of MAGAs who are not taught not to be bullying little turds for anything race or LGBTQ related

Holy double negatives, Batman! I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.
DP

It means MAGA parents who avoid teaching kids basic realities of how people are different wind up with kids who bully when they encounter those differences.

You can distract with making fun of me, but I guess that is to be expected of parents who raise kids to be jerks.

Making fun of you? I don't think it's too much to ask to simply write clear and concise statements. And you're the ahole calling kids "little turds." Are you also the PP who called anyone who disagrees with you a "kunt"? Maybe take a look in the mirror.

Maybe stop being afraid of simply teaching kids that some kids have two dads or two moms, scaredy cat? So that they don't make fun of it when they encounter it?

Umm... that's not the issue here, genius. That is discussed in kindergarten. We're not talking about that. Try and keep up.

Nope. It is what is in the curriculum being discussed here. Adding this in kindergarten. It is not part of existing FLE for kindergarten. I have a kindergartner. I know what they learned in FLE this year and I am happy if FCPS adds basic acknowledgement of kids with gay parents to the basic FLE teaching moving forward.

Maybe read what is actually being proposed before just reacting?

This is ALREADY in the kindergarten curriculum. Good grief! It's clearly you who needs to read, so let me help you:

Kindergarten Instructional Objectives – Emotional and Social Health
K.1 Students will recognize that everyone is a member of a family and identify members of their individual families.
Descriptive Statement: Students will identify adult and child members of their families. The type of family structures could include any adult caregivers of the child and any children that live in the home with the child. This could include but are not limited to two parent/guardian families (mother/father, two mothers, two fathers, extended family members, or grandparents), single parent/guardian families, adoptive families, foster families, families with stepparents, and blended families.

Great! Then the proposed curriculum as written is not a change!

For that part (family configuration), no it isn't. Which is why we're not talking about that.

Did they poll every single parent? How many didn't respond. I'm guessing this "majority" is all the MAGAs who are so in a tizzy about this. They are motivated, I'll give them that. Nothing in the post you quoted expresses "crazy hate". It is an accurate observation that MAGA tend to be very exclusionary and hateful towards people who aren't like them. And they like to project. MAGA loooooove to project all their own malfeasance onto others.

Musk picked this lady because she is attractive. He probably has a thing for her.

Who cares? Honestly? Learning about gay people does not turn people gay. I have two kids and do not care. Zero concerns.

WTF is "gender ideology"?! From where I sit, the most ideological people around gender are those that insist that there is one way to be a man and one way to be a woman and any deviation from their beliefs is cause for hatred.

There is a time and a place to have those discussions. The only thing at issue here is that most parents don't think elementary school is that time or place. That is not "hatred," and you sound utterly childish when you keep repeating nonsense like that.

This is how you raise a kid who makes fun of another kid when they find out that kid has two moms or two dads. Teaching this basic fact is necessary or else we have bullying.

Did you miss the part where they discuss families and all their different configurations - in kindergarten? The two moms/dads discussion is covered. You really need to relax. That's not what we're talking about here at all.

"his proposal has children in kindergarten learning about “two parent/guardian families” including “mother and father, two mothers, two fathers, and children.” The draft also states for first grade: “Discussion will include ways people are different including race, cultures and traditions, religions, and dis/ability. Dignity will be defined, and the definition of respect will be reviewed. Ways to treat others with dignity and respect will be presented.”

The draft states that for fifth grade: “The terms sex assigned at birth and gender identity will be defined. Identity will include the idea that for some people their sex assigned at birth and gender identity are the same and for some people their sex assigned at birth and gender identity are different.” The draft further states: “Students will define pronouns and recognize why some people may use pronouns that differ from their sex assigned at birth or are gender neutral.”"

"Sex assigned at birth" is not real. It is made up quackery.

Sex is not "assigned"

Sex is in your chromosones, inside of every cell in your body, no matter how you dress or how you feel.

Teach accurate science. Not made up silliness.

So you're afraid that if your kids hear from a teacher that transgender people exist, they will change their gender?

Agree with earlier PP who said they should just teach that it's normal to feel awkward with the changes. The gender identity thing is not needed in fifth grade.
It should be about physical changes and the emotions that go with them. Bringing in the gender dysphoria is a step too far and gives the kids more to worry about. If a child is having gender confusion, it is not going to be solved in a n FLE class.

If the topic comes up, just teach that all should be treated with respect.
