Will federal funds be withheld? How much is it going to cost FCPS to fight the battle?

This Administration are the ones who are bluffing, attempting to use the threat of cutting off Federal funding to coerce policy changes that align with their political view. As far as the legal aspect, prior court rulings suggest its FCPS who is likely to prevail should the Feds pursue a case (and/or illegally deny funding), so if you are worried about an unnecessary waste of legal dollars, you can direct your ire to the current political [s]leaders[/s] people in positions of authority at DOE.

This. and it’s trans students now. Who is next? You think Trump will stop there? Wake up. This is not about helping people. It’s about inflicting pain and misery.

Boys don't belong in girls spaces.

I can't believe FCPS is dying on this hill after losing the governor's race on this issue 4 years ago.

About to lose it again for the same reason. Polls shaping up to be just like last time.

Which polls? Dems winning this upcoming governors race is a sure thing.

If you look at past polling you’d see why that doesn’t really make it a sure thing.

Roanoke’s poll from this week shows Soanberger leading Earle-Sears by 7 point lead. Their polling from the same time in 2021 showed Mcaullife having an 8 point lead over Youngkin. To refresh your memory, Youngkin won.

To be fair there was a video of a dad whose daughter was raped by a boy in a dress and then getting dragged out of the school board meeting for complaining about his daughter being raped by a boy in a dress.
It didn't help that the karens were all accusing him of lying about his daughter getting raped in the bathroom by a boy in a dress.
Then it turned out that the board was informed but they were so busy passing rules to treat boys in dresses as if they were real girls that they never got a chance to read the email.

I don't see how they could possibly do anything that stupid again this year. There's like less than a 43.7% chance of them doing something that stupid again.

Ah to be this blissfully unaware. I envy you.

How can you possibly be so confident after what happened in November?

This election, where the governor's race is held on a off year, will be more like the prior virginia governor election than like this past election.

In a non presidential rate, voters tend to favor against the presidential party to give balance to the system. Given the Republican hold all three branches of Federal government and the top three positions (governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general) in the state, the tendency will be stronger than normal.

Also factor in the negative effects of the DOGE Federal spending cuts in Virginia, particular Northern Virginia, the most populous part of the state.

Also factor that Virginia is a blue leaning purple state.

Also factor that Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears is not running a great campaign and the down ballot effects when the office at the top of the ticket performs poorly.

Also factor the horrific job that Trump is doing. Admittedly this bullet point has an ideological bias. The big beautiful bill is/was extremely unpopular. The economy, in my opinion, is in a horrible position with the slowing job market and still rising inflation.

Lastly, as much as some would like to blame Democrats woke leanings as the biggest contributor to the November election, I think inflation caused by the global supply chain from covid and Biden's cognitive decline were bigger factors. Inflation is now on Trump's responsibility. Biden's cognitive decline is no longer an issue with Biden out of office.

Even with all that, Earle-Sears has made huge progress in the polls. That really, really ought to tell you something. It’s not good.

And the school board still believes they are fighting the good fight.

Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting that this woman posed with an assault style rifle. Our kids are traumatized by threats and the possibility of gun violence in their schools. Absolutely abhorrent.

And, what has Spanberger had to say on this? Does she support boys in girl's l9cker rooms and sports? FCPS is forcing her to address that.

I think it’s all ridiculous and vilifying vulnerable groups of kids is disgusting.

But putting that aside, my question as an fcps parent is how do you enforce that at all?

And this is why as a country we are doomed. Do you not care about your kid’s future? Affordable housing, affordable healthcare, clean air, clean water, could go on and on. So short sighted.
