We also have to hire a consultant! How much is that going to cost?

I love when things like this get posted so we can watch rich conservatives panic.

I don't believe it's a well thought-out plan, and if they don't put together good guidelines we'll end up with unintended results. Call me a jackass all you want, a lot of people are not comfortable with the idea of a transgender being in a position of authority over their kids.

What are these terrible unintended results you are suspecting?

As usual, it seems like FCPS has already made up their minds, and doesn't care what we think about it.

Here is more information on this policy and how to oppose it. Please attend the meeting and call/email the Board to oppose this change.

While you are opposing this policy, can you also please ask them to let me request a new teacher if I am not comfortable with my child's teacher's race? Thanks.

Yes, because it's so cool for boys to pretend they're transgender these days!

You think a boy would be willing to live as a transgendered person just to take advantage of girls?

NP and not anti-anyone, but as generalities go I wouldn't put any behavior past anyone.

I think the vote also has impact on making single-sex locker rooms and restrooms into coed ones.

That is a bit of a leap.

I plan on attending the meeting, but I will be supporting the proposed change.

+1000

+1001

I would also like to be able to request my kids not be in the same class with children whose parents are jackasses--any advice re: how to do this?

It's great how tolerant and accepting of others' views you are.

So conservatives get to switch to get away from people that they don't agree with, but liberals have to put up with conservatives?

How's that hypocrisy working out for you?

I only want meat-eating teachers. Who have blue eyes. Cause that impacts their teaching ability, too.

Yup. A totally rational and reasonable worry.
