[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter who attends a very strong local private girls school (one that we have been very happy with) reports that girls in her student government, led by the adult Director of Student Life, are having conversations about how using the terms 'girls' when addressing the students there is 'exclusive' and not gender-identity inclusive.  There are discussions about changing the handbook to restrict the use of 'girls,' as well as the Director of Student Life actively advocating to the girls actually taking down school-purchased signs on campus the denote that it is a girls school.  While I am left-leaning and certainly think that people should be able to choose their own pronouns, this seems over the top.  We chose a girls school precisely for it being one.  And we have deeply appreciated the strengths that that her girls school education has provided to her.  Has anyone else with a daughter in a girl's school heard about this?  [/quote]

We are at NCS and I have not heard of this. My daughter and friends are very accepting of their fellow LGBTQ and non-binary classmates and it makes me proud. I don’t believe anyone at NCS is trying to make this change and even if they are I don’t think it will be successful as the school was founded by a donation to create a girls’ school. It would not get support and trust me they would not get the much needed financial money they need yearly so sometimes money matters and in this case I think across the board on all political spectrums they would not have the support to make such a change.

That being said I think it is healthy to have the conversations and dialogue as to why some may want these changes. I do not agree but I think it makes me a more understanding person and parent to hear their side. [/quote]
