Student walkout

In Jesus name, amen.

Lol at them having a policy for protests.


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.



A protest is supposed to be…. Ugh … never mind.

A coereced political statement is evil and wrong.

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?


LOL I’m sure y’all would just love that.

There's no right for a student leave school whenever they want to.


Tell the cops to arrest them all for truancy then.


Nothing makes you people more excited than the prospect of arresting people for expressing an opinion you disagree with. Kudos fo not advocating that they be shot though.

How do you know? What is preventing them? Even if they don’t know whether they agree with the protesters they may decide to join the group to get out of class. Maybe they will be curious about is happening outside and go see for themselves.

Fcps is still pushing the anti women trans agenda even after the well published assault and rape that happened in Loudoun county because of the same policy. This is undoubtedly organized by one political party with an activist school board using students as pawns. The FCPS Sb does not care about the children but only their agenda.

It’s not anti-woman. It’s just ALL women. Being inclusive isn’t a bad thing.

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.

So many inane comments. Being engaged and protecting vulnerable people is a good thing.

These aren’t really school-wide protests but instead opportunities for some students to show their allegiance to the new orthodoxy.

Unfortunately a large number of people think heterosexual white males who claim to be Christian are the only vulnerable people around.

We should all be teaching our kids to be kind and inclusive.

Only a real sh1tbag would want to hurt kids.

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.


This person is making crap up to rile you up. This does not happen anywhere.
