[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are voting about this tomorrow at the school board meeting.

Funny, no email blasts from the district to let parents know or give input on the proposed changes.

Seems like they are trying to slip this in under the table with as little parent input as possible.

No matter where you fall on the political and social spectrum, that alone should bother you.[/quote]

I will be there, but standing on the side of love and supporting the proposed nondiscrimination policy.[/quote]

Whatever your perspective, make your voice heard. I happen to think that you can be against this policy and still be compassionate.  I think it is far less loving and supporting of these troubled children to push through an ill conceived and undeveloped policy without working through all the what ifs and potential problems just to be trendy. Why put those kids through the controversy that we all know is going to ensue the first time a "gender fluid" high school student decides he/she is going to start switching between the hoys and gils locker rooms? Why not let the parents know in advance what sort of punishment might occur for the child who decides they are not comfortable changing next to the student who is anatomically a different gender but who decides to use that other locker room? Will the first kid be branded a bully? Under the policy will that kid be "reeducated" to fall in line with the new policy?  All these kinks should be worked out and debated BEFORE fcps locks down a policy that they know has the potential to be very controversial.

If you really believe that this is important then take the time to do it right.

If the district truly believes that this is the right thing to do then there is zero need for secrecy. They should proudly publicize it and do it out in the open, not slip it in secretly hoping parents don't notice until a controversy occurs after tue fact.

For them to push this through under the rug and without parent input is wrong. How many months did they spend publicly debating the start time for HS kids before nailing down a policy? This is far more serious and far reaching and to push it through without time to listen to the opinions of the 100,000+ parents in the district is wrong.

This is too important to rush through without genuine reflection and respect for the views of the people of this district.[/quote]
