And it does not get into that some kids identify differently for gender till fifth grade. I discovered my ten year old is already aware of this before I even bothered to talk to him about it.

Personally for me, shrug.

DP to add, this would just be FLE education? So maybe a day or two of learning this as part of the age appropriate sex ed that is already done? This sounds like a mountain out of a mole hill.

There is no such thing as age appropriate sex Ed for a kindergartener unless it’s coming from the parents.

It is FLE, it is age appropriate. FLE already atarts in kindergarten, just teaching about "good" vs "bad" touches and respecting personal.space. Actual sex ed does not occur till 5th which is the same grade I learned about it in 1990.

At kindergarten, it literally only means teaching kids that some kids have two moms or two dads. Teaching this would help curtail bullying which is a good thing. F

Teaching that some kids might identify differently would not be taught till fifth. Again that would help with bullying.

This is hysteria over nothing. Read the actual curriculum.

Are you insane, NONE of that is appropriate! You must be on the school board.

Dp - you’re the insane one. All of that is entirely appropriate.

Yes, they can. And fle materials are available to parents for review - each lesson - so you can opt out of individual lessons.

Gender identity discussions are usually given under the bullying prevention umbrella and can’t be opted out of.

Good. It is absolutely necessary for bullying prevention.

It is like a day of incorporating the acknowledgement that gay people exist in the existing FLE program. Chill out with the overreaction.

That’s not what it’s about and you know it.

I actually read the curriculum so yes, that is what it is about. Also necessary for bullying prevention, frankly.

The board wanted to introduce gender identity lessons in elementary schools, despite the overwhelming objection of parents who were surveyed. That’s the context in which the video was made.

Yep. Basic sex education is all that's needed, and certainly not for K-3.

You all sound like you are not FCPS parents or you would know what FLE is. Is this forum just being astroturfed? Every commenter seems unfamiliar with FLE.

Sorry, what? I'm the PP and a parent of three FCPS kids. I know exactly what FLE is, and most of it is necessary and fine.

FCPS does, some other stuff I’ll wish they did differently, but ultimately, I’m not the king of FCPS, so I don’t get to be final decider on the curriculum. It seems ridiculous to me that any parent thinks that the school system could be a perfect proxy for them.

I agree. She also said that young children are "debating" gender issues. I haven't heard of or seen anything that leads me to believe that primary students, or even those in 6th grade, are "debating gender issues".

The board was exploring the idea of introducing gender identity discussions in elementary schools, meaning telling young kids that gender and sex are different and that they might actually be a boy in a girl’s body or a girl in a boy’s body. Many parents object to this.

No. No one is or was planning to tell kids this.

Nobody is buying your gaslighting, frankly.

This is a misrepresentation. I looked up the actual "curriculum" and it is acknowledging some kids have two moms or two dads at kindergarten age and some kids call themselves a different gender than how they were born at fifth grade age. All absolutely necessary for bullying prevention. Also if it is FLE, parents can opt out .

This thread has attracted DCUM's resident MAGA trolls. Of course they don't know what they heck they're talking about.

From the board meeting notes:

FLECAC will review relevant research to determine if a recommendation for instruction of gender identity should be included in elementary school. Any recommendation would include the specific grade(s) where instruction would occur and the objective and descriptive statement. If a recommendation is made, it would be included in a future community review prior to School Board vote and addition to the curriculum.

It says this would NOT be discussed till fifth. At fifth it is appropriate! My fifth grader already knows it anyways and not from me!

I have no issues with this. I will also note that by the time I got around to mentioning trans people to my 11year old, he told me he already knows about it. Totally appropriate at fifth grade and NOT taught before that

This proposal has children in kindergarten learning about “two parent/guardian families” including “mother and father, two mothers, two fathers, and children.” The draft also states for first grade: “Discussion will include ways people are different including race, cultures and traditions, religions, and dis/ability. Dignity will be defined, and the definition of respect will be reviewed. Ways to treat others with dignity and respect will be presented.”

The draft states that for fifth grade: “The terms sex assigned at birth and gender identity will be defined. Identity will include the idea that for some people their sex assigned at birth and gender identity are the same and for some people their sex assigned at birth and gender identity are different.” The draft further states: “Students will define pronouns and recognize why some people may use pronouns that differ from their sex assigned at birth or are gender neutral.”
