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.

She’s also a bigoted RWNJ.

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

She is absolutely a RWNJ bigot.

Oh, look. Left-wingers who only know how to call other people names.

What more do you want?

She’s a RWNJ bigot and her writings are harmful to others. She has no place in a discussion about FCPS.

Her writings save troubled teens from being mutilated and might save more but for the fact that FCPS kowtows to trans activists when making appointments to advisory committees, etc.

Her writings are crap, not fact/data-based, and exist purely to push RWNJ anti-trans agenda.

She has no place in FCPS discussions. Or anywhere, frankly.

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.

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

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.

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.

Being in poverty is a class issue. And to a greater or lesser extent, generational.

Are there obstacles to getting out of poverty? Yes. Are there barriers? No.

You haven’t answered the question. Why are Blacks disproportionately represented in the poverty “class?”

To the enthusiastically religious and right wing leaners who now look at the world through a binary lens of good vs. facist and Marxist liberals let me help here:
1. There are actual standards in journalism. Journalism requires fact telling, with an enormous amount of litmus testing to make sure that what is reported is factual.
2. There's also opinion reporting. Opinion reporting within journalism still has standards,opinions have to have relevancy, receipts, and academic peerage and viability.
3. We have entered the age of entertainment news, not reflective of any journalism standards, because it doesn't have to be. Mostly this occurs online, cable networks, but we see issues now in mainstream outlets, such as Fox News- but they must prepare to be sued as tabloids often are- because there are no receipts.
Someone like Shriner exists only in the tabloid world of her own doing, just like Joe Rogan, Prager U ( not a university), and so many others. It's hard to perhaps discern fact from opinion in outlets liks these, especially if you've come from a fair amount of confirmation bias and are unwilling or unable to use litmus testing to your sources of information. But, then, this is what these outlets are hoping for. It's a billion dollar industry.
Yes, evangelical Christians can get academic degrees, but they aren't exempt from Journalistic standards because of those degrees. Josh Hawley is a great example. He does have an Ivy degree, yet legislates through a biblical lens, and of course, like Shriner, who has a following of Christians and maybe other orthodox religious groups, hope they seem to have credibility. But they don't. Their religious opinions still have to have academic peer reviewed standards.
That goes for Moms of Liberty, Joe Rogan, the anti vaxxers, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Hillsong, Liberty University ( yes, it is a university, but it is quite suspect with regard to how they can even be accredited and they've been under fire for many issues) outlets, It's entertainment, not news, not research, not fact. That's why it's opinion. Universities in Florida will soon not pass the same lens. Religion is opinion, not academia.

Oh, and the terms facist, Marxist, and socialism are also nomenclature that you might not understand at all. These are thrown around like pieces of paper without any real understanding of what is being discussed.
No, gender affirming medicine isn't Big Pharma. Sorry, nothing to do with it.

You demonize her because she urges caution before cutting off the breasts and penises of confused adolescents, which you and your allies think is fine if it bolsters your ranks (those who regret their decisions are just collateral damage).

NO. PP answered your question and did so with clarity and empathy. You just don’t like any answer that isn’t simply “structural racism.”

I “demonize” her because she pushes her bigotry with false information.

She presents her opinions as “research” or “facts”.

She’s a charlatan.

No it wasn’t answered. Here, let me help you. Finish this sentence:
The main reason that Blacks are over represented in the percentage of people living in poverty in the US is because _________________.

Or try this one:

Black boys raised in America, even in the wealthiest families and living in some of the most well-to-do neighborhoods, still earn less in adulthood than white boys with similar backgrounds, because _____________.
