This school board is no longer acting to educate the students. They should be removed. Keep up the pressure Loudoun County parents.

So happy at least the transgender policies, which affect all of one student, will be voted on in August. It appears this district has its priorities in order :roll_eyes:

What makes you think any of those people are from Loudoun County?

Or are actually parents?

Mmm Nyeah I think parents and residents are well represented.

Yeah, I know that a Republican political activist has been desperately trying to put together a “grassroots” movement in Loudoun.

But I don’t think it’s going to work. It’s the wrong audience for it.

So they are freaking out over one trans kid.

Sounds about right

It’s only been like 10 years since Loudoun was thoroughly red. Now it’s deep blue.

There’s still a vocal minority.

There are many things on the plate of a child and determining that the sex they were born with, isn’t correct…should not be one of them. There is plenty of time for that down the road after they have both mentally and physically matured. Confusion is more probable than nature being wrong and all this does by following this transgender road, at such a young age, is create the environment for depression and potentially suicide.

This is a valid viewpoint.

However, it has nothing to do with school policies on the matter.

The schools don’t get involved in this decision…all they do is make sure their policies are such that trans students aren’t bullied or abused.

Surely you would agree that shouldn’t happen, regardless of your personal beliefs on transgenderism?

I absolutely do. That would contribute to the “environment for depression or suicide” and I’ll always fight against that. I don’t know enough about this particular situation to know what it is the school board is attempting to accomplish but how this subject is coming up more often than ever before is a problem. The human body hasn’t changed but the number of adult humans confusing children with transgenderism has and that’s a problem.

I don’t know if it’s deep blue just yet, but it’s getting there.

Indeed - lots of young families who weren’t able to get the amount of house/property in Fairfax or Arlington that they wanted. We had bought our house in Reston in 2010 before selling in 2015 and moving away. I can’t bring myself to look at it on Zillow to see how much more I’d have gotten in this market :slight_smile:

I think if I were 30 today and buying a house, I’d have to go Ashburn/Sterling and not Reston/Fairfax/Falls Church though based on prices…

We bought in Arlington in 2014 and sold in 2019 for a PRETTY GOOD return on investment.

You may or may not be surprised to learn I agree with you.

I’m not going to claim any special knowledge on the subject, but I’m not fond of this being a decision being made as a child, no matter how much parent and/or medical/psychological guidance the child is receiving.

It’s easy to imagine that is what it is like, but it actually is not at all. I would encourage you to read first hand accounts of families with young trans kids before you assume what they are experiencing. If you do, I predict you will change your views on this issue.

This freak show and it’s opinions of “gender reassignment” in children is all one needs to know about the goobermint’s role in the subject matter. People like this should be locked away in a facility for the criminally insane.

Who is leading the thought processes of this child? There may be some very, very, very rare circumstances where nature is mixed up but by FAR…it’s those leading this child that’s ■■■■■■ up.

I spent 3 minutes of a school board meeting this past year begging to implement a better approach to teaching personal finance (every 18 year old should know that just $1,000 in an index fund from their summer job equals $128,000 when they turn 67)…so I generally think broader is better.

“Here’s how different philosophies/religions think about right/wrong” versus “here’s what’s right/wrong” is really difficult to pull off with young people, though.
