As the last survey showed, the FCPS community is not interested in those FLE changes, even if you are using some of them in your church. I think some of the district leadership belongs to your church. Maybe you are one of them. Still, no thanks on your recommendations from church.

Congregation not a church.

Seems like an important point. Is that you, Michelle Reid? "The majority doesn't always dictate, right?"

As long as we retain the right to opt out of everything, I will be relieved. I don’t see the board not going forward with this.

It looks like they are combining genders for family life education in the pilot program.

The low income ESOL families have some of the most traditional families.

This is a twrrible idea.

If fcps is going to combine boys and girls for sex ed, it needs to be in the wealthiest bluest communities in northern Virginia, not the poor immigrant communities.

Pilot it in the wealthy neighborhoods with the greatest percentage of democrat votes. I am sure those neighborhoods will be thrilled to have boys and hirls together for 5th-8th grade sex ed.

OMG boys and girls learning about boobies together and boy parts. OMG OMG OMG OMG
OMB boys and girls learning how to talk to each other about sex omg omg omg

Kids are smarter than parents.

The kids don’t want this either, so maybe they are smarter.

Our Congregation does a full year program in 8th grade and it includes everyone. It has been this way for generations.

And are the topics the same as they are with the 8th-grade FCPS curriculum or is it a lighter version?

FCPS is the lighter version.

No, dear.

Unitarian Universalism (UU) is a liberal religion.

What schools are piloting this nonsense?

Likely title 1 schools without PTAs, and English is not the language spoken at home. They will expand afterwards after a year.

That makes sense. Fewer involved parents to lodge complaints. I wonder if they'll share the curriculum for the pilot program. Will be interesting to see.

Why is the burden on us to opt out? Why not just make it a program people would agree on? Why the desperation to combine young boys and girls to discuss puberty when parents and children overwhelmingly don't want this? Why even ask parents to take surveys if you're going to ignore them?

I absolutely think there should be a sex-ed/FLE class for all the kids. But not a coed class. Why? What's the point? I want my kids to feel free to ask any embarrassing questions they might have and it's a guarantee they will not if they're in a mixed-sex class.

It spares them from having to make hard decisions when kids change their gender identity.

Making the kids feel awkward or too embarrassed to ask questions may be the whole point. No questions, no hassles, just talk through the slides. A potential downside is likely increases STIs and infections due to poor hygiene.

In elementary school? What an anomaly to base policy on! Aren't they trying to teach about gender diversity in elementary school with these changes? Seems suggestive.

This is a juvenile comment. In a survey last year, parents said they didn't want their kids learning about these things with the opposite sex. It seems weird that fcps would start a pilot program doing just that. Your immature scrutiny is misplaced. We should be asking the school board why they're starting this program and not making fun of parents for their questions and concerns.

I’m not going to make fun. I agree, there’s no purpose for that. I don’t really see what’s wrong with same gender classes for FLE. The topics are natural science. Perhaps we should work to move past the “hush hush”, secretive air that surrounds such topics.

Funny. This is very close to what school board member Melanie Meren said.

Which schools specifically are piloting the FLE changes?

That is a good question. It seems like FCPS leaders and their close friends are trolling this thread. Care to comment?

In their mind, they think they are creating a healthier, more informed, and accepting society, WHICH IS NOT THEIR ROLE!! The people implementing this policy fall into three categories: They either don't have kids (Frisch), don't like kids (Bill Maher types), or are terrible parents themselves that can be quantitatively measured by their child casualty rate, or the number of times there were police searches for offspring they abandoned in the woods.

Comment on what? I want to know which schools are piloting the program. Do you know? My question was clear.
