Yea, the party supporting the pro - life platform is definitely not the one with the moral high ground.

There are tens of thousands of kids alive now because of the Dobbs decision and the following actions by pro-lifers.

And what kind of lives are they living? Many of them are living in poverty because you don't care about what happens to them once they're born.

OMG THIS.

Poor people in the US wear Air Jordans and are overweight. Pretty sure they will be ok.

What the f***k?

Thank you! I was wondering about Oakton HS. Sounds like it could be good fit (OP)

We're at the same schools, and I think it is definitely trending more liberal with all the tech bros that have moved in the area. Anyone with kids 5 and under works in tech here.

Are you one of those right wing nut jobs who think “why oh why won’t you tolerate our intolerance” is some sort of witty and clever retort?

I am not. But I call intolerance and hate when I see it.

My friend’s husband is in tech so it’s good to know. Liberal is not a problem as long as it is “love your neighbor” liberal and not “in your face” liberal. Appreciate your feedback! (OP)

Public schools are the reproductive system of liberalism

Odd thing to say considering March for Life is very “in your face” conservative.

Yes, people hate it when people try to oppress others. You don’t?

How is it different from abortion rights rallies? Or any other rally for that matter. You are not forced to watch it. It's a free country, after all.

People also hate it when babies who cannot defend themselves are being killed. Remember, that is how pro life community views abortions? Perhaps you can try to respect that and act civil, even if you disagree.

1) They cannot afford private

2) They are not looking for half of the board to be conservative. Just mainly the political diversity, so that the kid can fit in and family values are respected. We are in MoCo and I did not recommend our school district, as even I feel like too much is forced on the kids and religion does not get a lot of respect.

Private catholic. Sorry. It’s not too expensive and might get scholarships, or assistance.

That is your religious view, not mine.

You can decide what you do with your own body and beliefs. You don’t control others.

What does “family values be respected” mean to them, exactly? In these parts, we respect that families look like many different things. If their view is anything other than that, I.e. if they think “family values” means a married man and woman of the same race with 2.4 kids and they are offended by anything else, including single parents, gay parents, divorced parents, mixed race couples, mixed race gay couples, kids raised by grandparents, kids raised by foster parents, kids living in homeless shelters … well, they probably won’t fit in anywhere in these parts.

No public school is going to “respect” their religion, whatever it is. There will be no deference to it. We don’t do that here in the United States of America.

Not sure what you mean by things “forced” on children. What are you talking about? Addition? Times tables? Instrumental music starting in 4th grade? Fingerprinting? What?

You aren’t making much sense.

This is OP. Family values like going to church or to march for life are important to their teen. They are looking for school where kids won’t think of him as a weirdo. Please don’t get worked up.

I have a teen at MCPS can tell you that someone like that would not fit in and would face a lot of hostility at our school.

You mean their male teen is vocally and thoroughly anti-abortion? They would not fit in most of NoVa either… FFX is not *that* different from MoCo you know… funny how many in MD always think go across the Potomac it’s immediately the Deep South. Trust me, it’s not.

He'd have to commute from Goochland County, but, honestly, I don't know any really good schools in conservative areas in Virginia. He'd have to move to a rural area, hence why the schools would be terrible.

No reason the schools would be terrible. There might be fewer students capable of advanced work, but the offerings might be better than the NOVA districts which have been pushing equity. 7th grade algebra or 6th grade will be easier to get in rural areas pretty soon.

Keep dreaming. There are almost no AP classes in rural area and teaching is abysmal simply because the kids have no interest in studying. The main drivers of advanced education are the parents' income and education levels. Rural America is mostly meth, not MIT PhDs.

And you think urban youth are killing it at school?
