I remember FLE in FCPS 10-15 years ago when I was a student and in elem and middle school when we were separated by gender, there was so much that was left out for us boys about what the girls went through. Most adult men don't understand the female reproductive system, or that women don't urinate out of their vagina. That's extremely problematic and when we separate genders for FLE, we are leaving out key details about the opposite gender.

You clearly do not have children in FCPS.

All of those topics are covered in the sex segregated class, including diagrams of the opposite gender's reproductive systems.

There is zero reason to combine boys and girls for sex ed.

However, the committee says it needs to be combined. here is what they claim--contrary to only 11% supporting combined instruction and the student focus group saying it would be awkward. Do they not understand that the subject is awkward for kids under any circumstance and this will make it even more so. Do these people see themselves?

Here is what the committee said are reasons to combine it:

Normalizes issues of puberty and reproduction and
takes away unknowns about other gender
• Fosters understanding among students; increases
empathy for what others experience
• Inclusive environment for all students
• Less stigma and shame associated with puberty and
reproduction

These people are absolute idiots. There is no other explanation.

They are aware they are wrong but are doing this on purpose.

They are not idiots.

They are deliberate radicals pushing an agenda on other people's children.

If you follow the out of state political donations, it strongle correlates with the school board members most in favor of combining boys and girls for sex ed, against the overwhelming opposition of fcps students, parents and teachers.

Follow the money to see where the priorities and loyalties lie.

No. They actually believe they are smarter than others. They claim "democratic" process, but act otherwise. Limousine liberals.

Agenda? To fight sexism and homophobia?

Good try. No. Do you believe that all homosexuals believe that it is okay to butcher the bodies of teens?

And, do you believe that biological men competing in female sports is not sexist?

You can be compassionate to all students. But, rearranging society for the benefit of less than 1% to the detriment of around 50% of the population just makes no sense. Especially, when the rights of the 50% were hard won.

So what do we need to remove from the other subjects in order for the boys to know how to properly know how to insert tampons and girls be familiar with how to check themselves for testicular cancer? And to what extent do you think either group will store that information properly in long term memory? There is limited amount of time in the school day.

As another poster already pointed out, these topics are *already* covered in FLE - nothing is being taken away from other subjects to do so. The issue is combining boys and girls to learn about these things in a coed setting. Which is idiotic and unnecessary.

My DC wasted valid academic time this year because FLE lessons were taught during AP Lang and APUSH.

Tell me you’ve never even looked at the FLE curriculum without telling me you’ve never looked at it.

The boys class gets explicit descriptions of all the girl parts and everything that happens.

There are some fringe groups that the school board cater too. Not actual parents and teachers. Awesome, huh?
