Oh no you and that garbage take can take a flying leap and move to Russia

Youngkin lied from day one

1. He’s an election denier when there was zero proof or any evidence of election fraud! Full stop 64 courts under oath hand on Bible Youngkin knew he lied.

2. Loundoun county mess that again all lies non existent crt crap.

3. Youngkin was going to do a six week ban he was caught on a hot mike he’s a liar!

4. Closing schools for covid we had a pandemic you idiot and the Republican Party didn’t care if people were dying. Fact more idiots who listened to Trump died in huge percentages. Hindsight is 20/20 we had a baffoon and liar in the wh we could have kept schools open but you idiots who couldn’t wear non invasive masks kept covid spreading like wildfires when doctors needed time to find cures. This is on Republicans not Democracts.

5. Last but not least Democracy is on the table anyone who voted for any republican is an idiot because when we lose Democracy we lose everything. Not sure why you morons do not understand we will have bread lines and Marshall law and if you think you will keep your guns after Dictatorship installed you really are dumb!


Do you or did you at the time have children in the LCPS? I did (we got the hell out of there this past summer). I saw first hand how deceptive the schools are, covering things up, exposing students to sexually inappropriate materials and on and on. The majority of people, like me, have just quietly packed and left. It’s not like this in other parts of the country for anyone reading this feeling like the county is failing your children. It’s just not… despite the bubble mentality that it’s the best!

What sexually inappropriate materials were your children exposed to? Please be specific


+1

PP said her kids were exposed to "sexually inappropriate materials" at LCPS. What materials in what grades?

This is why I can never take these people seriously. Blah blah, CRT, blah blah, sexually inappropriate materials, blah blah, groomers. But when you ask for specific incidences then it’s crickets.


I'm not that PP, but any person with half a brain would know she is talking about the graphically sexual books found in school libraries. You know, the ones that have been the subjects of many threads already.


Maybe they can provide specific examples of actual books their actual children checked out and brought home from the actual school library?

Or maybe they can't. I think the last time one of my kids checked out and brought home a book from the school library was in sixth grade.


You know kids can simply sit in the library and read books without needing to check them out, right? Which is exactly what many high schoolers do.


Yes, kids certainly can. In which case the poster could say, for example, "My child in [Grade] took [Sexually Inappropriate Book] off the shelf at the school library, sat in the library and read it, then came home and told me about it, and that's how I know."


Well again - I'm not that poster - but that's exactly what my kids both did. So there you go. Happy now?


Which grade(s)? Which book(s)?


High school. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, and This Book is Gay. So you should be happy that these sexually graphic books are being accessed by kids. That was your mission, no?


DP I am happy, yes.

So too is the electorate. That was proven this week.

You can quit whining about this now. You lost. You don’t get to quite agitating.


The electorate was voting for one thing and one thing only, abortion. Not books or schools or crime or inflation or jobs or anything else. That will all come later. So be careful what you do now. The farther you push, the more pushback there will be.

Ok, so what grade(s), which book(s), and which school library or libraries? Specific examples, please.


DP. They all refuse to answer with specifics.

Please point me to the elementary schools that actually have sexually explicit books on their shelves.


No one said these books are in elementary schools. My kids read them in their high school libraries.


Which books? Which high school libraries?


They are currently available in all FCPS high school libraries. What’s with the interrogation? You should know this. You and your fellow LWNJs have advocated for these books from the start.


Because the PP is full of crap.

He repeated, ad naseum, that Virginians wanted to be a national leader in showing the country what "reasonable abortion restrictions" are. I can't think of anyone who says: "you know what keeps me up at night, not the economy, or housing costs, or school issues, or my kids, or the job market, but whether or not my state of Virginian can be a national leader on reasonable abortion restrictions! I can't sleep." Youngkin acted as if this was THE only issue Virginians cared about, that it was a statewide concern. I suspect his same strategists from the campaign carefully crafted these talking points, and he stuck to them like flies on $hit.

From my online research only about 20% of Virginians claim to be evangelical, leaving 80% not. His claims made no sense, and his "disappointment" is insincere. Politico did a short podcast with his gubernatorial strategists right after the 2021 election that I found fascinating into his "branding". And this latest 15 week shenanigans plays right into it. Here is the link. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/05/glenn-youngkin-republican-strategists-519609


Weird that you would say that. Abortion seems to be very much the ONE issue that Democrats obsess over.


Protecting unrestricted access to it, sure. Not finding some “reasonable compromise.”

Voters rejected Youngkin‘s very premise.

Any school teaching that systemic racism is still a thing or that white privilege exists is teaching that CRT is true.


Teaching about racism and privilege =/= "CRT"
I learned about racism and privilege in elementary school in the 80's in southern VA. No one claimed I was being taught CRT, and my parents (white, middle class) didn't raise a stink about it.


Did you attend a school with a Black Lives Matter sign over the front door?
In many school systems, there's an entirely different approach than when you were in school.


Nothing at all wrong with a BLM sign.

Of course, Loudoun County Public Schools has now decided that other high school kids should no longer have the option of doing what you wanted to forbid your kids from doing, at least with respect to Gender Queer.



Aww, what a shame. Sounds like LCPS finally has a little common sense. And of course, anyone can hop on Amazon or visit their local public library to get those absurd books to which you so desperately want kids to have access.


It sounds to me like you desperately don't want anybody to have access to those books in their school libraries. You get to make those decisions for your kids, although you apparently did not succeed in getting your kids to follow your decisions. You don't get to make those decisions for other people's kids.

Um, systemic racism IS a thing and white privilege DOES exist. Why is it so scary to you to acknowledge reality?


And more to the point, they are but this is not stuff being taught in elementary school.

What does it have to do with sexually explicit books in elementary school libraries?

I swear, the boogeymen right wingers fear. It’s amazing the bullshit they invent.

This is on Republicans not Democracts.

5. Last but not least Democracy is on the table anyone who voted for any republican is an idiot because when we lose Democracy we lose everything. Not sure why you morons do not understand we will have bread lines and Marshall law and if you think you will keep your guns after Dictatorship installed you really are dumb!


Do you or did you at the time have children in the LCPS? I did (we got the hell out of there this past summer). I saw first hand how deceptive the schools are, covering things up, exposing students to sexually inappropriate materials and on and on. The majority of people, like me, have just quietly packed and left. It’s not like this in other parts of the country for anyone reading this feeling like the county is failing your children. It’s just not… despite the bubble mentality that it’s the best!

What sexually inappropriate materials were your children exposed to? Please be specific


+1

PP said her kids were exposed to "sexually inappropriate materials" at LCPS. What materials in what grades?

This is why I can never take these people seriously. Blah blah, CRT, blah blah, sexually inappropriate materials, blah blah, groomers. But when you ask for specific incidences then it’s crickets.


I'm not that PP, but any person with half a brain would know she is talking about the graphically sexual books found in school libraries. You know, the ones that have been the subjects of many threads already.


Maybe they can provide specific examples of actual books their actual children checked out and brought home from the actual school library?

Or maybe they can't. I think the last time one of my kids checked out and brought home a book from the school library was in sixth grade.


You know kids can simply sit in the library and read books without needing to check them out, right? Which is exactly what many high schoolers do.


Yes, kids certainly can. In which case the poster could say, for example, "My child in [Grade] took [Sexually Inappropriate Book] off the shelf at the school library, sat in the library and read it, then came home and told me about it, and that's how I know."


Well again - I'm not that poster - but that's exactly what my kids both did. So there you go. Happy now?


Ok, so what grade(s), which book(s), and which school library or libraries? Specific examples, please.


DP. They all refuse to answer with specifics.

Please point me to the elementary schools that actually have sexually explicit books on their shelves.


No one said these books are in elementary schools. My kids read them in their high school libraries.


Which books? Which high school libraries?


They are currently available in all FCPS high school libraries. What’s with the interrogation? You should know this. You and your fellow LWNJs have advocated for these books from the start.


Which books are currently available in all FCPS high school libraries?

Maybe you should make a list of books you don't want your kids to read, and give the list to your kids.

Weird that you would say that. Abortion seems to be very much the ONE issue that Democrats obsess over.


Yes, post-Dobbs it is the most important issue for the majority of voters in the country. All of them are pro-abortion.

Oopsie. The Republicans caught the car. Now they are stuck with it.


Interesting - and telling - choice of words. I’m pro-choice. NOT pro-abortion.

Oh no you and that garbage take can take a flying leap and move to Russia

Youngkin lied from day one

1. He’s an election denier when there was zero proof or any evidence of election fraud! Full stop 64 courts under oath hand on Bible Youngkin knew he lied.

2. Loundoun county mess that again all lies non existent crt crap.

3. Youngkin was going to do a six week ban he was caught on a hot mike he’s a liar!

Which grade(s)? Which book(s)?


High school. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, and This Book is Gay. So you should be happy that these sexually graphic books are being accessed by kids. That was your mission, no?


So, those books were on the high school library shelves, and your kids picked them out read them in the library, and then they came home and told you about it? No, I don't have a problem with that. Why do you? I guess you should have told them they weren't allowed to read those books.

Of course, Loudoun County Public Schools has now decided that other high school kids should no longer have the option of doing what you wanted to forbid your kids from doing, at least with respect to Gender Queer.

Then control your own kids. My high school kids are allowed to read whatever they want because I don’t think sex is a shameful thing. Parent your child and I’ll parent mind, but you don’t get to tell me what books my kid can have access to just because you didn’t raise your kid to respect your rules.
