PP again. I didn't say they were or were not a statistically significant number. I'm not sure even APC claimed that. By the way, that's not how APS runs its surveys either. Nor is your personal echo chamber statistically significant. The point is, they're still real kids in APS. They may, in fact, outnumber the kids who identify as trans or gender-fluid or other categories. I don't speak for APC and I'm not a member or affiliated with them, but you asked for an explanation and I gave it to you.

Ask Jeff if you think I'm sock-puppeting. I'm not. I'm posting from work and from home and I'm on enough VA schools threads that he can undoubtedly confirm. You should confront the fact that not everyone agrees with you, and try to come up with arguments to rebut those people. Echo chambers make people intellectually lazy.[/quote]

Did you read the article?

"A member of the Arlington Parent Coalition shared[b] a survey, showing most students feel[/b] 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"

"87% of 90 students" is not "most" of 28,000.

It's a lie. What's the point of a survey if it doesn't have a statistically meaningful methodology? What use is it to ask a bunch of people something when you already know they'll answer a certain way, because you only "surveyed" people who agree with you?

The point is deception, and that's exactly what Arlington Parent Coalition engages in.

They should be called out for spreading misinformation.
