[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Echoing some PPs, I am open to voting for any candidate, no matter the party endorsement.

Issue that I care the most about: the quality of academics at FCPS. (Doing something about the lack of quality.)

Caveats: 
*I do not care about punishing people who closed the schools during the pandemic. Move on. 
*I will NOT vote for someone who makes a priority of creating a hostile environment for LGBTQ kids. 
(And for those who make assumptions about me based on this statement: I have ordered the two books mentioned and will read them with an open mind. But even if I find them wholly inappropriate, I cannot imagine making two books in high school library shelves into a catalyst issue. I haven't read every post but, from what I have, this thread has covered: a couple controversial books, a proposed but not implemented plan to refer to kids by their "gender assigned at birth," and the notion that referring to gay people at all might be considered in elementary school as reference to sex and therefore inappropriate. I am by no means a political activist nor a nutty liberal, but any candidate who underlines these three points as their big identifying issues has lost me.)

Please tell me which candidates are genuinely invested in working to raise academic standards without emphasizing those particular gender/sexuality points.[/quote]
Other books banned by activists that are worth reading to understand the genuine concern of parents at FCPS about gender ideology activism at our schools, particularly because of its effect on kids who identify as experiencing body dysmorphia:

1. Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness by Miriam Grossman, MD.
2. Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Tales from the Home Front in the Fight to Save Our Kids by Josie A. and Dina S. 
3. [b]Irreversible Damage[/b]: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier. 
[/quote]

This book isn't based on data -- it's an opinion piece by someone who is anti-trans. 
[/quote]

So it should be banned?[/quote]

Banned where? By whom? [/quote]

DP.  Democrats claim books are “banned” if they’re not included in libraries - regardless of how age-appropriate they are (or aren’t).  By this “logic,” Irreversible Damage must be banned from our high school libraries because it’s not there.  The question is, why isn’t it?  [/quote]

Because the HS librarians don’t think teens want to read conservative propaganda that is full of misinformation? 
[/quote]

Yes, they prefer teens read liberal propaganda that is full of misinformation - not to mention, graphic sex.  That truly is so much better.  And not making sure the other side of this issue is available is really just so intelligent and open-minded.  [/quote]
