[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current FCPS school board does not have a single GOP, or even independent, member.  They are all democrats.

The current board has repeatedly insisted FCPS schools absolutely must include certain books in FCPS libraries because of “equity” and support for LGTBQIA+ students.  They insist your children must be able to see illustrations like this in the school library (except, the children’s version is not blurred out).

Would you feel comfortable showing fellatio drawings to your own children? [/quote]

What book is this?  And is it in elementary libraries?  Or high school?  Middle school?[/quote]

The book is “Gender Queer” and the current school board (and likely all dem candidates running now), fought vigorously to keep it in school libraries.  I will link some history in a moment, but before that, someone responded in a different thread with background:

“Schools in FCPS are both a place to educate minor children, and a place of employment by adults.

I think a good starting point for deciding which books are available inside of classrooms and libraries is:

1) For students, if a book contains graphic images or explicit text that would result in an adult being charged with a crime against children if they showed it to the child outside of school, and especially without the parents explicit informed consent, then the book should not be allowed in school. Graphic novels such as Gender Queer would fall under this category. If your 50 year old neighbor Joe decided to read a book full of drawings of blow jobs and other explicit photos to your 13 year old son or daughter, especially encouraging them to keep this info away from you their parent, he would likely be arrested. This should be a basic, common sense standard in public school.

And

2) If a book contains graphic images and text such that if a Virginia state or Fairfax County government employee had it out at work and showed or distributed it to coworkers and especially subordinates, willing or unwilling, would result in the state or county government employee being disciplined or fired for sexual harrassment, then the county employees of FCPS should not be allowed to share that book with minor children in FCPS in any capacity, be it in the library, in the classroom, or sharing with an individual student.

Use the state and county employment standards for what material an adult employee is allowed to share in the workplace, and apply this to our govt employee teachers, counselors, support staff and principals.

This should not even be a point of contention unless you are a predator.”
