This should never happen during the school day. Protest on your own time.

It is wrong- it violates Article I, Section 16, of the Virginia Bill of Rights, which states:

No man "shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief."

This event at a government funded school, which will alienate Christian students for their religious beliefs, maybe Muslim students too, makes them "suffer" at school.

Here is Article I:

These types of events are just inappropriate at school. There are other more appropriate forums for protests.

Isn't FCPS already violating the Virginia Bill of Rights then? The FCPS calendar now has explicitly religious holidays, meaning many kids suffer from not learning because of religious holidays they don't care about.

They are not being literally alienated inside a county classroom. Nice try.

It's a student-led event--you can't protect your kids from other kids voicing their rights. They are not anti-Christian or anti-Muslim, they are pro LGBTQ+ rights.

Then why are they walking out on their classmates?

That's who they are "walking out" on - literally.

If students want to protest against Youngkin, why not take their protest to . . . Youngkin?

Oh, come on! It's a symbolic gesture about a policy shaping SCHOOLS so they shaping their action about school. Most kids don't have the capacity to get an audience with Youngkin. You are being ridiculously obtuse.

Tuesday, September 27th when students will walkout to reject Youngkin new policy

I'll tell my kids to stay in class regardless of how "massive" the walkout is. Let the the losers and whiners have their moment, but stay far away from this crowd.

That would be hard to if the whole school is in on it. Our kids’ school principal is coordinating the thing.

Which principal?

Don’t fall for this. I’ve worked through many walkouts and there are always students who stay in class. I’ve rarely seen teachers walk out. It doesn’t matter the cause. Most of us want to keep our professional lives separate from political activism. Our administration said the last couple of walk outs at my school were student organized and led but they were very much supported by admin. I don’t know any teachers who joined in. There would never be a walk out where everyone went. If I’m ever told I need to participate in these at work I know it’s time to find another job.

As you should. Having a school and staff organize or support ANY political activism is utterly inappropriate. It may seem fine b/c people think the cause is "right" but it can easily go the other way.

utterly inappropriate

Imagine if it was a Christianity walk out. Imagine every teacher asks each student how they identify- Christian versus non Christian? Ok, well we want to be inclusive to Christians, so we will keep this cross flag up to show support. And school sends an email out about the Christian walk out. Will little Larla be participating? Oh dear, she might be left out from everybody else participating. etc etc.

You sound really stupid

Or is your kid afraid to tell you who they really are....if yes then the issue isn't with them.

Yes it is. They are children who don't know any better. If my kid was lying to me over something that important I would send them to boarding school or to live with a relative.

LOL....ok

This!! The kids that can't tell their parents stuff have crappy-ass parents who have made it clear that there is a "right" way to be and they better not step out of gender norms.

Most of the girls in my kids class who are identifying as boys without telling their parents have very liberal parents who say the exact same thing that you just posted.

There are close to 50 to 60 percent of the girls in my kids fcps middle school who are claiming a different gender. Most of their parents are very blue, very kind and involved parents and have zero clue that this is going on.

The kids hiding this from their parents has nothing to do with having "crappy ass parents"

The hiding stuff from parents is normal, mainstream, developmentally appropriate teen behavior that has nothing to do with the quality of a trans kids parents.

The problem is that for some reason, on this particular issue, activists have cowed schools and parents and brainwashed students into believing that parents should be cut off from their kids by schools as a best practice. This is simply wrong, particularly on such an emotionally charged and potentially dangerous to the kids well being mental health issue.

It's a tough balance and may in fact be out of balance. When so much attention is constantly focused on the "marginalized" (consider the signs that so many teachers put outside their classrooms touting how every set of kids but straight white kids were welcome in their classrooms), the so-called marginalized start to be seen as as the desirable norm, and kids who naturally want to fit in gravitate towards the new norm.

I think there is a lot of indoctrination going on too from fcps.

At our middle school, learning seminar is averaging at least one dedicated transgender or gender identity lesson each week.

Even if you are pro trans issues, giving the 12 to 14 year olds a weekly lesson extolling all of the virtues of changing your identity and gender identity activism is a bit much and definitely crosses into indoctrination, and is probably fueling much of this.

I am certain lessons like this are district wide in the middle schools and not just limited to our middle school.

This is true insanity. Schools are so far from what they were meant to be that I feel like the whole world is going crazy at this point. I just can't anymore.

Home life is pretty far from what it's meant to be too. So schools are dealing with that. I agree the world is in a crazy timeline-sad for everyone. Too bad we can't just let each other be but we just can't seem to behave with humanity these days.

Tell the cops to arrest them all for truancy then.

My own children will not be participating in this nonsense.

One of the last walkouts was to protest against the selection of Superintendent Reid. Same modus operandi: the student organizers advertised the event through social media; summoned the press; were interviewed by The Washington Post; and bragged about it afterwards - also through social media.
The true leaders are the students who think on their own and know when they are being used as political pawns. During partisan events on school hours, you will find them in class taking advantage of the opportunity to have the teacher more easily accessible, as opposed to following the flock. Now, if the teacher happened to be a political activist, or instigator of these walkouts, they would have switched classes at the very beginning because they would have known that no true learning will be happening in this class.

The time listed for my son’s school is not during advisory. He won’t walk out since he thinks all of the student walk outs are meaningless and not accomplishing anything. I’m proud of him for not following others when they left last year for various causes to miss class.

Fcps official policy is only one protest per school year.

Lololloll do you really think your kids fall for that crap? I remember my parents trying that kind of line on me when I was a kid against the 'peer pressure' bogeyman. When what they really want you to do is succumb to parent pressure and pretend like it's individuality. Look at your above post--the student organizers advertised an event, summoned the press--sounds like leadership to me. You might not like their cause or their methods, but they are practicing being leaders.

The ones who stayed in to have more time with the teacher...it's not like you can't go meet with your teacher in a small group during any advisory session or after school as you need. It's fine to not join something you don't believe in, but don't puff it up like it's something special. Your kids won't fall for it anyway.

Um...

Do you even live in Fairfax County or are you just an out of state troll or activist?

FCPS has an official protest policy that allows students to participate in one excused protest or march per school year.

If you were a FCPS student, FCPS parent, or Fairfax County resident, you would know this policy.
