Are they meeting federal law?

Yes. Youngkin is out of line with federal regs.

Federal law says parents don't get notified about their child trangendering?

Fine to support the kids. But, it would also be nice to support the straight kids who don't want to share bathrooms, locker rooms, or sports with the opposite biological sex.

This was originally a rally to protest the state rules. Changed to a rally to celebrate FCPS policy instead. That policy allows trans kids into the restrooms, locker rooms, and hotel rooms of those of the opposite biological sex.
Sports is still "iffy" because VHSL runs that.

During school sponsored overnight trips, chaperones and staff (all adults) who may identify as transgender are able to join students in lodging accommodations and FCPS School Board and Superintendent Reid don’t think is important to notify parents ahead of time. These adults’ feelings supercede the right of parents to draw boundaries around their children, particularly when it comes to safety.

We have the activists at FCPS and Superintendent Reid to thank for such a decision. Hopefully, it won’t add to the list of law suits that are draining our resources.

Serious question, do you think men don't rape boys or women don't rape girls? Why does it matter if chaperones and staff (all adults) who may identify as transgender are able to join students in lodging accommodations? Do you think only trans people harm kids? Never non-trans people? You think their whole purpose in life is to change gender to harm kids. Never priests, politicians, or other people you know, just trans people?

Honest answer to your serious question. Parents have the right to choose if they want their kid to participate in an overnight trip where accommodations for adults who identify with a gender other than their biological sex will chaperone or supervise their kids. In order to make that decision, parents need to be aware. It is not for anyone else to assume or tell another parent what boundaries are appropriate for their kids.

Unfortunately, Pride Parades and Drag Queen shows around children have not helped differentiate those who mind their own business from those whose sole identity revolves around their sex. Not everyone agrees to have their children around the latter.

Can you give us some examples (with FCPS) when children were forced to be around a pride parades and drag queen shows?

Sure. Current members of the School Board were present and even took pictures where kids can be seen. Whether these kids were forced to attend by their guardians - or not- I can’t provide you with that information, but I can assure you that the members of the school board that represent kids were comfortable with it. At the rate we are heading with the progressives at the Board, and their refusal to respect parents wishes over their children’s boundaries with topics of sex, it’s only a matter of time before they will bring them to read to our kids. And no, I will no Google for you who and when was involved. Do it yourself!

So that’s a no, no kids were forced by FCPS.

Pride Parade DC. Lots of ugly stuff going on there and at least one SB member was there. It was not just waving rainbow flags.

This feels like a deflection. Are you deflecting from the fact that the FACTS are that no adults associated with FCPS took students to the parade?

I personally find the March for Life gross. But unless FCPS teachers or Admin start taking students, it’s just another DC parade or protest I can ignore.

See how that works.

http://www.fairfaxdemocrats.org/event/capital-pride-parade-march-with-karl-frisch-and-other-fairfax-democrats/

And, if you weren’t for the work of March for Life, many of you wouldn’t be here.

The March of Life is a disgusting display of misogyny. So many vile POSs.

There are fewer unwanted pregnancies because contraception and sex education are more widely available.

I'm sorry, but I'm still confused. Maybe it's just me. I'm not clear about the connection to unwanted pregnancies. Contraception and sex education are more widely available compared to...?

Before RvW/MfL.

What is MfL and what does it have to do with this thread??

(Yes. I looked up "MfL" and got a bunch of fantasy football results.)

What about gay adults and bisexual adults? Do parents have a right to know the sexual orientation of chaperones too? Because that was what people like you were yelling about 15 years ago. (PS— no, you don’t have a right to find out the orientation of chaperones)

Also, tell me you don’t have a kid in FCPS without telling me you don’t have a kid in FCPS. DH and I chaperone for three different overnight activities between 2 kids at 2 HSs. We has to do a background check through FCPS and submit fingerprints. There are po”Ivies that keep us from being alone in a room with a kid— same or opposite gender. And, we certainly don’t spend the night in the same room as a student or students.

Also, the only scandals with sexual assault on field trips in FCPS that I’m aware of are heterosexual male student assuaging a young woman— see also the Oakton band trip and similar.

Parents don’t have the right to know the sexual orientation of chaperones, nor do they have any interest on finding out. Contrary to your believe, not everything revolves around sex in the lives of others.

However, parents have the right to set boundaries around their children to protect them from ideologies that find it offensive if anyone were to find out about the sexual orientation of a chaperone, YET remains silent about adults at FCPS constantly inquiring information regarding “sexual orientation” from minors through surveys and questionnaires. In fact, they find them age appropriate and developmentally necessary.

Because background checks don’t sort out common sense from radical gender ideology, parents have the right to draw boundaries to protect their kids. And because of the FCPS refusal to follow The 2023 Model Policies, now parents have the obligation to continue to do so.

I've read the part in bold at least 5 times and I need you to clarify please. Which surveys are asking students about "sexual orientation"? How constant is "constantly"? What are they being asked?

it seems you don't like them but you are also saying the surveys are age appropriate and necessary?

SEL; FLE; and FC Youth Survey inquire students in FCPS about their sexual orientation and gender identity multiple times per year.

I commented on the inconsistency of the PP who assumes that parents care too much about the sexual orientation of chaperones, while not objecting to the gender activists who justify the intrusive inquiries on sexuality administered to children at school because THEY consider them age appropriate and developmentally necessary.

I read the Grade 3-5 questions earlier this week. I just looked at the 6-12. I don't see any questions that ask about sexual orientation or gender identity. Which questions are you seeing? (I admit I skimmed the 6-12 survey.)

I don't see this topic in ES FLE. I'm not familia with the Youth Survey.

(For some reason, the answers for this particular set of questions 32&33 have all caps and double exclamation points)

Questions #40- 52 ask about the parents, the parents views on alcohol, smoking, vaping and drugs, and whether the parents yell.

#55-56 ask how often the kid bullies others

#57-59 ask how often the kid carries weapons and what types

#60 asks how often the kid says racist things

#64 asks how often your parent teases, taunts or bullies you

#65 asks how often your parent is physical with you

#66 asks how often the kid has been sexually assaulted

#67 asks how often the kid drives drunk

#68 asks how often the kid texts and drives

#69 asks how often the kid dozes off while driving

#70-71 asks about their gang activity

#72 -73 asks about controlling bf/gf behavior

#74 asks how many times their bf/gf pressures them into sex

#134 how many people has the minor had sex with

#135 how many people has the minor had sex with the past 3 months

#136 Did the minor use drugs when they had sex

#137 Did the minor use a condom the last time they had sex

#138 list the birth control used last time the minor had sex

#139 has the minor had oral sex

(All of these questions are identifiable and linked to your individual minor child.)

[Anonymous]

First, IMO this important information to gather at the high school so we know what supports and interventions are needed. We can’t solve problems unless we know what problems we have.

Second, if you disagree with #1, fine. The survey is voluntary. You can opt your kid out. Your kid can opt themselves out.

Third, this they are tracking your kid and can link survey data to them talking point is a lie that gets constantly raised and shot down on here. Telling a lie often enough does not make it true. It’s late, so I’ll just leave the FAQ here.

Horrible, disgusting, and so inappropriate. This is an example of the survey that should be an opt in, not opt out. Yet we will have to continue to opt out.

We had to opt out in 6th and will def opt out in 8th.

In the opinion of most parents, the only important information to gather from high high schoolers is how well prepared they are (or not) to apply for college or a job after HS to identify the necessary support and intervention needed. Parents are included in this effort, they are not purposely kept in the dark. That applies to MS and ES as well.

Any time children are asked about their sexual orientation by an adult is crossing their boundaries. We would report a neighbor who would initiate that conversation with our kids. Adults inquiring this information from our kids at school is normalizing this intrusive behavior on children.

School issued computers are linked to each student, so there is no such a thing as anonymity. FCPS IT safeguards didn’t prevent hackers from breaking into their system in the past. Just because you are not fully informed of security issues that threaten the safety of our children doesn’t make them a lie. I’ll leave this here for you:

It does. How many minutes a day do you think a day/week are spent on SEL lessons? As an elementary school teacher I can tell you it’s significantly less than you guys probably think.

The SEL screener is not the only exposure students have to SEL at school. As a teacher, you may be interested on this video to understand this assertion. You may not agree with everything in it, but at least you’ll understand better why parents disagree, or at least will be prepared to answer their concerns with a sound rebuttal:

These nutters probably don’t even have kids at FCPS given that they don’t actually know what happens at school.

The PP said the SEL Screener contains questions about sexual behavior and identity. I linked the SEL Screener and asked the PP to identify questions that show this because ei didn’t see any. None of these examples are from that.
