DEI is not superceding every other initiative and program in the district. That's a talking point. Not a fact.

It is the cause of dropping homework, lowering standards for assignments, switching to standards based grading, etc. For dropping the science fair, dropping service requirements for middle school, etc. All because some students cannot or do not do it. So schools have dropped or lowered standards and requirements. For equity.

+1. Pretty much every post trying to defend DEI is a 1 liner screaming LIES or STOP IT without acknowledging the fully laid out concerns by parents against DEI overtaking other priorities. Anyway I think objective readers of this thread can tell which posters are reasonable and which ones aren’t. I’m definitely not spending my time trying to convince the deep DEI faithful. Will be voting Republican in November.

I won’t be voting for Republican SB candidates so much as voting against the Democrats on the SB who have been awful for years, but especially for the last four. They are just despicable - incompetent, hypocritical, virtue-signaling failures at everything they’ve touched.

Absolutely agree.

+1. I’ll be doing the same. Just the the anti-Trump voters in 2020. They didn’t vote for Biden; they voted against Trump. I will vote against the current SB.

I voted for Biden; I'll vote for him again. I think he's done excellent work. I didn't just vote anti-Trump. I would never, ever vote for one of the GOP SB candidates listed. I mean, you have a candidate like Moon as the top Democratic endorsed SB candidate. He's always focused on academics, he's got a ton of experience, and he's moderate. My guess is that you're just a pro-GOP person who thinks they can influence other "moderate" people by pretending to hold whatever position you think they hold. Fortunately the majority of educated people in Fairfax have more sense to fall for your shtick.

There have been lies throughout this thread.

Which comment do you think was inaccurately called a lie?

I did not say there is not a single lie on this entire thread. Not sifting through this thread for you. You can tell me which ones you are calling lies. I will just reiterate there are a lot of valid and well articulated concerns on this thread about the current SB’s overbearing DEI efforts, and the pro-DEI posts have literally no substance.

There are plenty of moderates. Just because you think “trans people exist and slavery was wrong” is “far left” doesn’t mean it is.

DP. No one thinks that. Nice strawman there.

DP. What are the “moderate” positions on gender and racism?

The moderate positions on these topics in school are to stop making every.single.thing revolve around these subjects. Perhaps just sticking to academics would be a great start. Just a thought.

Good news! That already happens today.

There was a very thoughtful post earlier about this subject that was deleted for some reason.

If you are concerned about suicides, you should vote for tjos who want to have the parents involved.

Unfortunately, there were suicides in FCPS prior to this school board won their election in 2019, and suicides afterwards. Schools hiding this information from parents does not decrease suicides and actually puts these kids at far greater risk of harm, particularly from internet predators.
