[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am absolutely shocked parents were able to get the Arlington school board to vote against giving the most extreme accomodation in the name of inclusivity. I mean, you all still had to remain anonymous, but that's some serious progress.[/quote]

The cost of closing school was concrete and high - cancelling a fully paid/nonrefundable field trip for hundreds of middle school kids, disrupting graduation scheduling for special needs kids, cancelling dances, possibly missing testing, causing childcare issues for already stressed feds, etc. Meanwhile, keeping school open just means some students and staff take an excused absence. It’s really not a contest for someone looking at it rationally. The troubling thing is that APS staff didn’t stop to think about the collateral impacts. At all. It was clear they did not even consider that their actions have downstream impacts. [/quote]

This.  This should have been a no brainer vote and Duran shouldn't have even suggested it.  They are slaves to their own look at me extreme progressive tunnel vision and can't see past their egos to make rational decisions.  This is the same issue as the mother raising the issue of a pool patron openly flashing a penis in the women's pool locker room in front of her kids and a Board member (who abstained last night from this vote) blowing her off.  It is more important to some of them to a) protect certain people's rights even when there is clear evidence it is harming others and b) have it be abundantly clear to everyone in their echo chamber this is what they are doing.

It's nauseating.  And before people harass me, no I'm not MAGA, anti-trans, or a Republican.  I'm anti-showing your penis in the women's locker room and anti-canceling events that impact hundreds of kids when people who want to observe a religious holiday can simply take the day off or stay home.[/quote]

But you’re happy enough to push the RWNJ talking points…

Dp.  If not wanting my dd exposed to a penis in the women’s locker room makes me a RWNJ, then fine, I’m a RWNJ. [/quote]

You can address the locker room issue [u]without[/u] turning it into a transgender issue.

No you can’t, when the policy is that the man was allowed to be there because he said he was transgender, and there are policies in place that support his presence because of that claim.  https://wjla.com/news/local/virginia-school-policy-arlington-county-public-schools-acps-aps-parents-transgender-locker-room-bathroom-policy-safety-sex-offender-richard-kenneth-cox-washington-liberty-high-school-board-meeting-public-comments-parents-lgbtqia-lgbtq-rights[/quote]

No, he wasn’t allowed in [i]either[/i] bathroom.

It’s not a transgender issue.
