[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP: I just read a good portion of this thread. I am an upper elementary teacher in the county, and I’ve taught more FLE lessons than I’d like to admit. Under no circumstance would combining genders be beneficial. My biases, as some worry, come directly from experience. The students are mortified as it is. They write questions on notecards and can barely look at one another when the question is read aloud. [b]Why would we make it even more uncomfortable for them?![/b][/quote]

It's become evident that there are some parents who actually *want* kids to be placed in uncomfortable and inappropriate situations.  That mindset is beyond baffling - it's dangerous.[/quote]

I don't think those people are parents.

This is being pushed by a tiny group of activists, most of whom are not parents.  And Karl Frisch.[/quote]

Completely agree! However, Karl Frish isn’t the only one in our School Board who pushes this agenda forward. Recently, other members shared they have kids who are LGBTQ+ and showed how personally invested they are by approving the incorporation of sanctions into the 2022-2023 SRR to punish those students who don’t comply with the preferred gender pronoun use when addressing others. Mixing boys and girls during FLE lessons and Sex-Ed, beginning at a young age, is consistent with the radical gender indoctrination FCPS seems to prioritize in spite of parental pushback.

Unfortunately, this issue shouldn’t replace valuable academic time, but it already does! Our kids shouldn’t be discussing trans issues at school without knowing exactly what it entails, but they already do!  While we can’t control social media nor Hollywood, nor pop singers who glorify and show only one side of this issue, we still can continue to advocate for FCPS to focus our children’s time at school on academics. But we know they don’t and they won’t, so we should at least ensure that in the name of inclusion, they incorporate in their lessons stories from detransitioners and doctors from the US and abroad who have a different perspective on how to better support kids who deal with gender dysphoria, or those who are encouraged to believe that they do. If FCPS refuses to be inclusive of all perspectives and pushes only one, then we need to hear from them why.  Why the intolerance towards other points of view. Until then, these discussions with our kids at school should be limited to those who are interested by incorporating an Opt- in option and should take place after school hours, just like many clubs do.
