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...

A teacher describing the world our kids move through -- a world that has classmates with gay parents, and that has transgender classmates -- is not "ideology." It's just a description of what our kids are seeing. I don't understand why you think the kids won't see it.

If the survey results said we shouldn't teach about dinosaurs, that wouldn't make it okay to cut dinosaurs out of the curriculum. But nobody is telling the kids they should feel any certain way about dinosaurs, let alone be a dinosaur.

Exactly

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.

https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary/kindergarten/year-at-a-glance/family-life-education

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.

What specifically is different at kindergarten level then? Examples, specific quotes, text?

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.

You belong on the crazy farm with RFK.

You have issues, that much is abundantly clear. As for "did they poll every single parent" - do you actually think they only selected a few parents to poll and then left out everyone else? NO. All parents had the opportunity to respond to the poll, and if they didn't, that's on them. Sounds like you were too lazy to make your opinion known and are now upset that other parents - who DID take the time to do so - don't feel the same way you do. *Shrug.*

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?

It is well documented that girls, in particular, have social contagion when it comes to claiming to be transgender.

It is also true that adults in power can influence kids to believe in and do things that are not in their best interest or can actially harm them.

Anonymous wrote: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.

WE SHOULD NORMALIZE IT, BIGOT.

+ 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.

That is rich. Are you in the least bit self aware? Do you see how your reaction comes across as both extreme and political?

Ten pages in and you gone all caps and insults. I’m not a republican. Who are you telling at and why? You would have more credibility if you used less insults.

FCPS does, some other stuff I’ll wish they did differently, but ultimately, I’m not the king of FCPS, so I don’t get to be final decider on the curriculum. It seems ridiculous to me that any parent thinks that the school system could be a perfect proxy for them.

I agree. She also said that young children are "debating" gender issues. I haven't heard of or seen anything that leads me to believe that primary students, or even those in 6th grade, are "debating gender issues".

The board was exploring the idea of introducing gender identity discussions in elementary schools, meaning telling young kids that gender and sex are different and that they might actually be a boy in a girl’s body or a girl in a boy’s body. Many parents object to this.

+1
This is the only thing I would object to.

That is nice but this was never discussed or recommended by the board. It is right-wing talking point tyat is not grounded in any truth.

I am not the person who keeps talking about kindergarten, so I'm not taking orders, sorry. I have only commented on the fact that elementary school in general is not the time or place to discuss gender ideology/trans issues, even if it's in 5th grade.

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.

Gross.

It gets worse because it looks like the whole thing was planned by Family Foundation.
I'm so sick of these right-wing crazies using our schools as a political football.
