[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see us making any progress on this front.  There are two things the sides would have to agree with.

1. There is no such thing as hate speech.
2. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness.

Until there is common ground on these two topics there is very little that can be done.

I attended the school board meeting last night, and was deeply saddened to observe parents who are unwilling to teach their children these facts but go beyond basic negligence and teach the opposite.  It is child abuse at the very least.

Am I understanding correctly -- you think "there is no such thing as hate speech"? You consider that a "fact"?

Apparently.

I still want someone to explain why anyone should give a crap what the Arlington Parent Coalition says, or make me believe the "coalition" represents the viewpoint of more than one person.

I will grant them this: they are good at hoodwinking the local media:

"A member of the Arlington Parent Coalition shared a survey, showing most students feel their concerns are not being adequately heard in regards to the policy.

Of the 90 students surveyed, 87% said they oppose or strongly oppose the policy due to religious beliefs, the impact this could have on women’s athletics and the possibility of students who disagree with being stigmatized."

I'd love to see the methodology on THAT survey.... If it's not simply completely made up, I'm guessing they surveyed their fundamentalist church's kids...[/quote]
