Anyone here opting their kids out of sex ed in Virginia?

Isn't sex ed supposed to be about how a sperm fertilizes an egg? It shouldn't be anything about whether the sperm's owner identifies as a man or woman, nor should the egg owner. I would guess FCPS will try to inject that a man can get pregnant, and that's the issue.

They need to stick to science, not social issues with this one. Male = sperm maker, Female = egg mater; when they meet, you can have a fertilized egg that later becomes a baby that emerges from the female.

Why? Are your kids gay and unlikely to have sex with the opposing sex?

Just because you did it in a petri dish doesn't mean they shouldn't learn how it normally occurs.

It's not a social issue to recognize LGBTQ. Sorry, that's biology. Thus, science. And furthermore, it recognizes and normalizes what the kids are already hearing and seeing in elementary and beyond. My kid had classmates with 2 moms in class as early as 4th grade, which is the first real FLE. So may as well teach it. Otherwise, you're just fostering ignorance and hate.

Cute. But they'll hear it anyway. But if you wanna bury your head in the sand about it, the void will just be filled by others elsewhere.

regardless of petri dish, a male produces the sperm that meets with a female's egg.

Your kid will learn about puberty and that it's ok to have 2 moms. Relax.

That’s not in the FCPS sex ed curriculum. And many people don’t think it’s ok to have 2 moms - it’s an anomaly.

Which people? Religious extremists?

Does OP think it’s ok?

So sick of this standard response. No not religious extremists. Normal people who grew up with a mom and dad and think it’s odd to have two moms or two dads. They aren’t going to say anything in front of the odd couple but will think it.

You're the loon here. I grew up with a mom and dad, and my family has a mom and dad and two kids. THat does not mean I think it's odd to have two of either. In fact, my BFF is one of two dads and they have a kid. I bet he's a much better person than you.

It isn't burying my head in the sand. It is me providing my kids with information, not the school.

NP. It only annoys me because it's factually incorrect. Your sex isn't assigned at birth, you are born a male or female. It's your GENDER that is assigned at birth based on your sex/genitalia.

That's not science, 2 moms or dads is a social issues, doesn't make it wrong or right but science. If you think that LGBTQ is science than you can make that argument that countries like Iran where they don't agree is science as well?

No shot you are providing them with accurate and factual information.

What the hell difference does it make? You want to be the one to tell them "you will see these people in the world, but they are freaks and not normal." is that it?

Sex refers to “the different biological and physiological characteristics of males and females, such as reproductive organs, chromosomes, hormones, etc.” Gender refers to "the socially constructed characteristics of women and men – such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men.

theremore man marrying man or woman marrying woman is a social thing, science is male vs female.

Nobody is listening to someone who can't use then/than correctly. Please don't bother saying it's a typo, we know perfectly well you're just not that smart.
