How are these concepts taught at FCPS?
1. Boys and girls are now officially referred to as male and female assigned at birth.
2. FCPS is pushing for penalizing students and staff who don’t use the correct gender pronouns of those who choose to use them to identify themselves at school.
3. Privilege Bingo
4. Back in the fall of 2020, my child’s high school in FCPS distributed a book on Racism and Antiracism to every single 12 grader during virtual learning.

Abigail Shrier? The anti-trans MAGA?

Hard pass.

Shrier is brilliant - a classic liberal with degrees from Columbia, Oxford, and Yale. Her book belongs in school libraries more than the soft-core porn peddled in FCPS libraries.

I skimmed the two articles. I didn't see any reference to FCPS and only one brief mention of CRT.

Not to mention the sources are dubious, at best. The Manhattan Institute? Come on, now.

She’s also a bigoted RWNJ.

Why don’t right-wing types understand that we can love our country AND understand its history- including the ugly parts. We can’t get better until we understand history and work to make sure we don’t repeat it.

It no longer works to teach our children falsehoods about how slavery was actually good, enslaved people were treated like family. Or that racism ended when the Civil War ended. It’s ahistorical nonsense.

You're on the wrong thread, dear. Take your strawpeople somewhere else.

To me the pp seems appropriate for this thread and reasonable.

Not sure what you mean by “officially referred” to. Can you point to a regulation or policy change? Or even a form change? Also, who cares?
2. FCPS is pushing for penalizing students and staff who don’t use the correct gender pronouns of those who choose to use them to identify themselves at school.
If someone intentionally does it, then I’m all for penalizing them. If I accidentally bump into someone, I’m not disciplined for assaulting them. But if I do it with intention (it’s happening repeatedly), then yes, I should be disciplined for trying to hurt someone.
3. Privilege Bingo
Damn. One day, one class and somehow this is representative of how an entire school system is teaching something? You can’t find any other examples in over a year? Nothing else to hang your hat on? Nothing but this BINGO game? Sad.
4. Back in the fall of 2020, my child’s high school in FCPS distributed a book on Racism and Antiracism to every single 12 grader during virtual learning.
And the problem was what exactly? You didn’t want your child reading, learning and discussing racism? Please explain how that is a problem for you and your then 17 year old?

True, different sides of the same coin. We shouldn't teach myths that slavery is good. And we shouldn't teach myths that privileges are unfair and should be taken away or that racism is systemic today and beyond anyone's control.

She’s not bigoted. She’s calling attention to what many believe with good reason is now government-enabled child abuse.

Oooh, you almost had it. Almost! But sadly, no. If you cannot see that there are systems set up to keep certain groups of people oppressed, then I’m not sure you can be helped.

If you don’t believe that racism is systemic, then please explain why African-Americans are disproportionately living in poverty. There are 37.2 million people living in poverty in the US, and of that 23% are African-Americans. Yet they only make up 12% of the country? Explain why they are overrepresenting in this area? Is it because they are inferior? Because they are inherently lazy or less intelligent? Or is there some other force, dare I say system in place that works to keep them in poverty at a higher percentage? If it’s not systemic, please explain why they are disproportionately represented.

True. She’s brilliant because she’s brilliant. Those degrees didn’t fall in her lap. But there’s money to be had in cutting off kids’ breasts and genitals, and anti-cis/trans activists are increasingly powerful at high levels of government, so she’s treated as an enemy of the state.

LOL. You probably believe that and use the word “groomers” unironically, too.

How do you feel about the proliferation of guns killing children in schools?
