They scream poverty for many things but have plenty of money to fight parents. Mcps doesn’t care about parental rights. I signed the form to not release my kids photos and come first day of school they were all over the news and mcps website. Mcps refused to remove it saying if we sent our kids to school we should expect it. I would not have, had I had known. Taylor himself said too bad. They complain of kids on social media and they are the first to post our kids. Our school still does after I reached to to the principal and teachers asking them not to.

This is one of the most embarrassing, openly bigoted threads on this site... which is really saying something.

It's going to be really fun when Jewish kids opt out of the Narnia series, Catholics opt out of Romeo and Juliet (suicide), and on and on.

I think you’ve got a solid lawsuit here.

Maybe but its not worth it as MCPS is vindictive to kids, especially admin so I'm not putting my kids in that situation. I am so tired of constantly seeing them on social media. We don't post them online.

They don't read Narnia and for Romeo and Juliet they watched a movie in English and were never even given a copy of the book.

Mcps shouldn’t be posting your kids on social media without your consent.
Their internet safety is nonexistent.

Worse is that every year, in the summer, early, I go online and sign the forms saying do not post pictures. Every other activity and group respects our wishes but MCPS. I even reached out to the news media and they refused to remove it, even from their personal social media pages. MCPS attitude is they cannot go through every child to figure out who declines so why do they have us sign forms to deline when its not an option. When they come out with the no cell phone rule, I will not be following it as they are the worst violators and they need to set a good example. Teachers cannot be taking pictures of kids, posting during work hours and complaining the kids are doing it.

Gender is a social construct. Literally. There are cultures in which a third gender is common.

Did you mean there are two sexes? That's also false.

And all those troublesome intersex people, but why let biological reality get in the way of a dumb slogan?

Stating that there are 2 genders used to be an objective, inoffensive fact of life and biology. Trans activists have made it a “slogan.”

There are two sexes. What do you think the third one is? A variation of male/female is not an entirely separate gender.

Let’s talk about the budget again…

I’m a taxpayer and good with the money spent on sensing a message of support to an extremely marginalized community.

Responses like this are why people note that the school curriculum, particularly at the elementary school years, is about reading, writing, and math. I don’t want money spent on sending a message. Please hire more teachers so kids can get more individualized attention on academics.

And by having teachers have to sort kids by religiousness and teaching multiple tracks is hurting the teachers ability to focus on academics. Why are you guys not getting this? They should just have the opt out kids stay home for anything they find objectionable.

Why are you not getting that MCPS lost a lot more by fighting rather than pulling down these books or allowing opt-outs for the elementary schoolers?

I’m glad MCPS put up a fight. Thank God. What happens next is these same parents want girls and boys to be separated. They want girls to dress “modestly” and taught different subjects because their religious values. They want non Islamists (or fill in blank of religion) to pray every morning to a certain God.

Thank God MCPS was fighting for our constitution and the right of students to learn.

It didn’t work out very well for them, did it?

I’m glad the county fought. As a taxpayer, as a parent, as a person who values education and rejects the continued conflation of public schools and religious dogma, MCPS did what is right.

Soon, we’ll have Sharia law where the only teachings in schools are from X religious book. Girls won’t get an education because, well, they’re girls. Gays will be excluded and persecuted and their children treated like pariahs because clearly books will turn people gay and make people think too much about the human condition [sarcasm alert]

Grateful that the County took a stand. The SCOTUS rejected the constitution today. That doesn’t mean we give up the fight for what lies ahead tomorrow. Can’t believe our country increasingly resembles 1930s Germany / late 1970s Iran. Frightening.

One has nothing to do with the other. Parents have rights to have a say in their kids education. Many kids outside the W schools are not getting the education they need. Let’s look at that. This is silly to fight over. Everyone’s beliefs including those you don’t agree with should be respected. Some of the books are inappropriate and make the kids uncomfortable.

MCPS has just gone off the rails. If the reporting I read is accurate, this is the second big loss for MCPS. The first loss was earlier this week with a settlement with Bethany Mandell and others.

LGB was it a sweet spot but when the rest of the alphabet joined in it soured many people.

Sorry I'm not believing that MCPS is "constantly" posting pictures of your kids on social media.
