Come on parents. Let’s call them!

Mcps isn’t actually giving parents an opportunity to opt out though.

Article says that opt out procedures were explained and allowed.

But they’re not. When kids start middle school and asked to give their pronouns, it starts.

What's wrong with giving pronouns? You don't always know what someone uses based on what they look like. It's not really a trans thing, just being polite and respectful, right? Just because people didn't do it when we were kids doesn't mean it's somehow scandalous or whatever...

Did you go through the slideshow linked in the news story? It’s mostly a lesson about how to come out and how to be nonbinary versus how to be an ally. One of the slides has links to 10 different videos and asks students to watch 1. Almost all of the videos are nonbinary people who were assigned female at birth. There is a real social contagion to this and I think in a few years people will be ashamed when they look back at what kids were exposed to.

Also, as a teacher there is no way you could get through these slides in one advisory period. Gender is already covered in health classes. Kids are SO over these lessons shoved in their face all the time

I'm pretty liberal and this really annoys me. There are so many other things MCPS can be working on

They can’t read or do math, but at least they’ll know how to be non-binary and bind themselves.

I have to seriously question the judgment of the principal here, particularly given the recent Supreme Court case. And I'm about as lefty as you can get. Who is the principal? Is it someone new who doesn't know what they are doing?

Those gender classes should be electives if mcps wants to be liberal and open minded. Let the kids decide if they want to hear this nonsense. Im pretty sure, none will pick them

Nonbinary is a social construct

Yes. All mcps principals are new.

What? No they are not. Lots of experienced principals.

Insanity.

This is changing a lot of people's politics op.

OP is overly invested in flaunting their daughter's breasts.

Maybe if y'all would stop raping girls and taking away their rights they'd be more interested in staying girls.

Is this the video in the presentation that is giving you heart burn: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QNZoAPDBrs8.

It does not bother me. It is ok to learn about different kinds of people and what it is like for them.

What is the concern exactly? Your kids will come out non-binary after watching this? Is it against your religious beliefs?

What’s wrong with giving pronouns? How about, what’s right with suggesting this level of confusion and insanity to middle school age students? Sure, let’s introduce the concept that they should not believe what they see with their own eyes.

Stop it. No one felt the need to ask for anyone's pronouns prior to the trans movement. It absolutely is a trans thing.
