Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
|
FCPS is taking budget money out of classrooms to fight this ridiculous lawsuit, instead of just following Title IX ?
Reid and the SB should all resign in disgrace. |
The same FCPS is suing a girl in retaliation for her claiming to have been raped at a school. They will never resign, they have no shame. |
This is accurate. Let’s also state the obvious that the world is much less safe for girls and women than boys and men. I believe there’s a saying that “men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.” Lastly, it’s worth pointing out that girls should not have to feel unsafe at school or like their peace of mind is ruined. It’s hard to shake the feeling of your peace, privacy and space being violated. That lives with you for life. |
The rape did not happen at school, I think. But, I think the school did not respond to reports of problems at school. The details are on the internet somewhere. I think school did not provide appropriate support, from what I read, but this is not a clear issue. And, I am no fan of the way FCPS handles issues. |
FCPS failed to protect her from relentless harassment. She had no chance even with all the clear evidence. They outgunned her with high price lawyers. The fact they didn’t feel the sufficiently ruined her life and are suing her for coming forward about sexual abuse sends a very strong message. FCPS refuses to protect girls and will do everything in their power to silence them and keep them from coming forward. Absolutely disgusting. |
Here is an idea let's have gender neutral bathrooms then everyone has somewhere they feel comfortable. Why is the middle ground so hard to reach. |
| Maybe get rid of PE. |
Like just take down the signs and slap up gender neutral? Or actually make them gender neutral individual stalls? If the first, yeah no. If the second, where is all this cash coming from? |
Dp. That may be true, but there is no excuse for them to sue her for court costs for the case she lost. That’s just f’ing abusive. |
This is so true. I am a woman and I have mentioned to female friends that sometimes I might feel nervous in an empty trail or parking garage. They reply they feel similar at times. My husband literally insists I am making any perceived threats up. I tell him it's because he doesnt have a vagina and so he wouldn't understand. |
No. I don’t want gender neutral bathrooms. I want women’s only. |
Remind him of the ffx county woman who got raped during the afternoon on a well trafficked running trail near Herndon a few months ago by a predator with a criminal record who was let out by the county prosecuter many times. That intuition that women have is a critical evolutionary tool that nature gives us to keep ourselves safe FCPS wants all of our daughters to suppress that natural protection mechanism through guilting them into being kind, inclusive and accommodating (of men's feelings) Nothing ticks me off more than that terrible lesson. |
The young woman brought a case that she couldn't prove. FCPS sued to recover attorney's fees and court costs. That's common and serves the goal of discouraging frivolous litigation. If the money is recovered, it goes back into FCPS's operating budget and can be used to benefit current students and staff. |
They’ve tried. But what I understand is that some (many?) transgender kids don’t want to be in a gender neutral or separate facility because they believe that they are the other sex and should be in the sex based bathroom/locker room. Apparently, it is offensive (outing yourself?) to be banished to a neutral facility because it doesn’t affirm the gender. Anyways, doesn’t matter because the NYT had an article in it today that they are withholding the funds. $65M across NYC, Chicago and Fairfax. This has all just gone so utterly wrong. I agree that a middle ground would have been prudent 4 years ago. Now it’s too late. Everyone is dug in on their respective positions. |
It’s meant to silence victims. I hope you never have to feel the need to seek justice and know you’re wagering your future on it. |
