Standing up for what you believe in and speaking out is not virtue signaling. That’s fine that your kids don’t want to participate, but you don’t need to denigrate the actions of others who have sincerely held beliefs on this issue. |

Public schools don’t exist to serve the parents. They exist to serve the public. So your very premise and expectations that schools should abide by the wishes of parents is misguided. You aren’t an important or relevant stakeholder. |

The schools aren’t doing this. It’s more grassroots than that. The kids are doing themselves through social media. |

It is not why Youngkin won. Moron. |

| I wonder why walking out in the middle of class to protest is ok (and will be excused by the school) but walking out in the middle of class to use the restroom is not (at least not at my kid's school?) |

Where is the proof schools are excusing it? Has anyone gotten communication about it from their school and shared here? I have yet to see it. |

All this is nonsense.
Banning talk to trans people in schools isn't going to stop people from being trans. It's just going to cause more suicides since there will be one less place they feel accepted. There have always been trans people and there always will be. Those against trans people need to get the idea out of their heads that trans = a man in a dress. That's not trans. I'm trans and you'd never know it. You women pee in the same restroom as me each day and have since the 90s. We share the same locker room at the gym and the same changing room when shopping in stores. |

Woah that is messed up. I'd say something. I am all for protests but I am even more for kids being allowed to take care of their urgent bodily needs (quickly). |

DD's school is doing it during times when the kids don't have class, and the school is essentially supporting it. My opinion is that I don't think it's necessarily good for the schools to excuse it. I think that if you are going to protest and resist, some sacrifice comes along with it and if that's an unexcused absence, so be it. On the other hand it would really suck if there were teachers who wouldn't let you take a test or something if that's when the protest was. |

Sure. They will all be given Saturday detention. |

What? Are you saying that trans people are forbidden to talk? |

pp you quoted here At least at my kid's school, only one student is allowed out of the classroom to use the restroom at any given time. They are not allowed to go during the first ten minutes or last ten minutes of class. It's a large school (I think the capacity is around 2500 students?) with multiple restrooms, but at any given time there is only one boy restroom, and one girl restroom open--so depending on exactly which ones are open and where in the building your classes are, it could take several minutes just to walk to the open restroom---so going during passing periods isn't necessarily an option. |

Is creeping on teenagers something you do often? |

This link goes to the proposed policy:
