If you think the right is the realm of basic sanity by centering this kind of niche issue, you're really out there. The number of transgender people is really tiny but the right like to act like they are taking over the world. |
Ummm no. The left panders to this 0.01% of the population just to make themselves feel better. |
Based on your premise, we should expect that under Superintendent Reid the following practices will be true regarding our K-12 kids at school: 1. Girls will continue to count on single sex spaces in bathrooms and changing-rooms as of this fall. 2. Girls will compete in sports with other students who are biologically females in a category exclusively for their sex. 3. FCPS will strive to maintain the essence, dignity and humanity of all girls by continuing to use exclusively the words woman and mother to refer to women who have reached that stage in life, as opposed to any other woke terms created by gender activists to appease male adults. 4. Proper biology terms will be used to refer to female reproductive anatomy - such as breasts and vagina - during age appropriate discussions at school. Based in your assertion, should FCPS not follow these practices, what do you propose parents do to protect our girls at school? |
Your bullet list seems to be just the next line of ginned up issues having little to do with anything. My worries about my daughter have a lot more to do with national and potential politics that are taking away her bodily rights through the loss of Roe v. Wade than anything you're ginning up. |
With all due respect, K-12 girls shouldn’t be dragged into the “potential politics” of adult issues. Getting an abortion during their formative years (K-12) is not as pressing of an issue as it is getting a top-natch education. |
I do wonder if Reid will have any aptitude at all when it comes to moving discussions about FCPS’s future away from the endless culture wars (which most of us have no idea who started) and back to a focus on academics and operations. This School Board hasn’t shown it has any chops at all when it comes to discharging their primary responsibilities, so their “safe space” will always be performative acts of solidarity with various special interest groups, and Reid would have to have some real talent to break that cycle. |
Yeah, bc no teen girl ever has needed an abortion. But the PP wasn't talking about top-notch education--I care about far more than I do the signage on bathrooms and the like. |
+1 Good point. |
And yet, Loudoun County is facing a HUGE lawsuit due to ignoring these ‘ginned up’ issues |
No, Loudoun County has a lawsuit for not reporting sexual misconduct. These are different issues regardless who the perpetrator is. |

Agree. |
Any updates on what she is doing to clean up FCPS, clear the fat at Gatehouse, and get teachers and aides in the classrooms? |
I don’t think she ever said that she was going to “clean up the fat” at gatehouse. |
