Then quit you're bi#$%$ and opt out. Done.

Pray, tell us why you think they should be combined for these classes. Please give good reasons.

Teachers can’t opt out.

Reid said that we don't always do what the majority "wants" because we want every one to be "safe."

Why is it "safer" to combine genders for FLE. Parents don't want it, students don't want it, teachers don't want it.

Who does want it? The School Board, Dr. Reid, and the FLE committee composed of Democrat progressive activists. I can only think of one reason why.

Actually most of the school board seemed against it and had concerns regarding the fact that most people voted on survey they don’t want it.

The committee wants to disregard the survey. it appears that Frisch and Reid also want to disregard it. After all, Reid said that we don't have to do what the majority wants. We need to keep students safe--according to her.

What is safe about combining genders for sex education? Who is this keeping safe? Instead of combining genders, why don't they let those who are uncomfortable with going with their biological gender for instruction opt out?

After all, if they are going through puberty blockers or surgery, they don't really need to learn about periods or birth control. Those are pretty exclusive to biological sex. But, that would be common sense.

You wrote so eloquently what we are all thinking. I also want to add that all of this "stuff" is anti-girl and that is who it hurts the most. We are losing our women and girl only spaces to boys and men. It's wrong and goes against basic women's rights that our foremothers fought so hard for.

Same reason they paid thousands of dollars to "The Leadership Academy" to develop "equity" protocols. They are an activist group who will do whatever the hell they want to do, regardless of what taxpayers want.

If you're so rabidly against equity, you're a bigot. Plain and simple. A fact.
And bigotry should not be up for a vote.

Ah, here we have the usual LWNJ who insists that anyone who doesn't want social justice protocols jammed down their throats must be a "bigot." I have news for you. Many "allies" as well as members of the LGBT community would really appreciate simply getting on with their lives, being treated equally, and having nutters like you STFU about it.

Reid sucks.

You suck.

Do you have an education degree? Or have you worked in higher levels of ed policy? I already know the answer to that. Unless you do, then zip it.

Hi Michelle!

Remember: name calling is used when people cannot defend their own point of view.

PP was talking about people who oppose “equity”. Not people who are anti-trans. While I’m sure there is a lot over overlap between those groups, bigots do come in all flavors.

^And pretty funny that you say people should treated equally…

No, it’s expanding in their work to include all women.

Wake up. Republicans are actually taking away basic women’s rights all over the country.

Reid sucks.

They question the results of the survey because "anyone" could have answered it--according to Frisch. Interesting that he thinks that people all over the US are answering FCPS survey questions and that is a problem. However, it is okay to accept huge campaign donations from California for him.

Meanwhile, the focus groups--which were from FCPS and included students were strongly against combining genders.

That’s true.

RWNJs have a habit of spamming polls/surveys. All it takes is one of those “parents defending ed” political operatives to tweet about it and then all of those open school nut jobs will complete the survey, skewing the results.

The subject of this thread is FLE. The focus of this discussion is sex education and how it is taught.

Please give one good reason to combine sexes for this education. And, let's call out the elephant in the room. This is being pushed by the SB because of the trans kids. So, in "keeping trans kids safe" we are going to make biological girls--many who are already uncomfortable with the topic--share the room and education with biological males. This is wrong.

I understand that it makes no sense for the trans girls to go with the biological girls because the physical needs are different. And, the same for the trans boys to go with the biological boys.

Since trans girls and trans boys are not intending to go forward with the bodies they were born with--what is the point of sex education for them? If they are taking puberty blockers, it would seem that none of this education is needed.

Let them opt out.
I would assume they have already had more education about the functions of their own bodies than most children.

Now, explain how the "focus groups" were spammed. Also, while you are at it, please explain why they developed a survey if they did not intend to use it.
You also might analyze the members of the FLE committee. Hint: they are not an example of typical Fairfax county parents.

Women and men are the same. Women's rights=mens rights!

At least two of the members of this committee testified at the June 15 SB meeting. It is clear that their focus is on one segment of the FCPS population of students.

Again, we need to be understanding and compassionate. However, what happened to science? Biological boys and girls have different biological parts. While they need to be informed about each other, this is going to make it much more difficult for those who need to be informed. Girls need much more information about periods, etc, than the boys. I still remember one of my teachers showing us how to "package" a sanitary napkin for proper disposal in great detail.

I was so disappointed in the 4th grade FLE - it was one lesson and my kid got nothing about of it. They didn't even learn about the opposite sex.
