My k kid with 2 moms is in mcps in a different school not doing this but I would love it.
She has a trans friend at a different mcps es. It matters to them. |
No one is demanding. It’s a suggestion. Calm down. |
Can we stop looking for something to be offended by? This is literally about leaving these people alone and not making their lives more difficult. Have your kid participate or not. |
Lgbtqb folks get the carpet rolled out for them. This is insane.
How about a week celebrating folks with disabilities? We do nothing to celebrate them. |
It does, but some folks can’t believe ES could figure out a way to celebrate the LGBTQ community’s bravery without traumatizing kids. Or better yet, that they might grow up and actually be kind to those who identify. |
I have a preschooler and I would not be happy if this was her school next year (it’s not). The themes of acceptance and everyone is important is great, but this is taking it too far. |
March is Disability Awareness month. My school celebrated it this year. I’m sure your school would love for you to take up the cause and invest in celebrating disabled persons accomplishments and helping kids be kinder and more tolerant. |
Happy pride homophobes! |
I work at Bayard rustin and we did have a week celebrating neurodivergence. So glad you brought it up!! Our school is the best |
There is no mention of sexuality or issues. In fact if a kid asked what Trans is it could answered simply and then everyone would move on. And why would a school, a place of learning and acceptance avoid Pride month. |
Curious how a school celebrates Hispanic Heritage month, Black History month, AAPI month, etc with a spirit week? Do you have the students dress up as famous people from those aforementioned groups? |
Just chiming in to say that our DCPS elementary school doesn’t have a spirit week like this, but everyone is always invited to march in the Pride Parade with the DCPS delegation and it is SO much fun!
Fact: Kids love rainbows. |
I would think each class would have to start with a definition of what trans is. If you skip that part, it is like celebrating MLK day and failing to mention who he was. There is no meaning/learning at all. As a K parent I would be interested to know how a K teacher would cover this topic. |
OP here. Very interested to know if other schools have a Pride spirit week or it it’s just mine. Thanks. |
