Virginia parents with differing viewpoints sounded off on school policies they say harmed children at Tuesday's Loudoun County Public Schools board meeting.
One year ago, LCPS passed Policy 8040 to follow Virginia Department of Education guidelines put forth by the previous Democratic administration to protect transgender students. It requires employees to address students by their chosen "name and gender pronouns" and gives students access to the bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams that match their gender identity. The decision sparked a backlash among parents, particularly because it did not require parents to be notified or approve of changes made to their child's gender identity.
Several parents came to the meeting Tuesday to demand schools comply with new guidelines released last month by Gov. Glenn Youngkin, R., which says parents must sign off on changes to their child's gender identity and assures accommodations will be made. It also separates sports by biological sex.
"I implore you to adopt Gov. Youngkin's new Model Policy in place of existing Policy 8040. The fact that parents have to advocate and fight for their parental right is absolutely absurd," Michelle Warner, a mother of two Loudoun County students told the board......
Brenda Bengston, who taught in the Loudoun County Public School district for 31 years, said the parent movement was "all political" and had become a "training ground" for attracting media attention.
She defended the transgender policy to Fox News Digital, saying teachers had the students' best interest at heart. "We need to be interested in our students and not what we have as a bias, to bring it in with us," she said. The former teacher said her role was to "welcome" students, not question them.

Won't have her in a government school.
End government schools. The corruption is too great.
This kind of opinion comes from reading what the Left posts on Twitter. They believe democracy hangs in the balance re: the upcoming midterms. If America doesn't vote Blue, the fascists will take over.
I think they have been thoroughly brainwashed.
The big question is, "Who brainwashed them?"
“...Catholic school...”
C/S won’t put up with Public School B/S. They have a Higher authority for which to answer.
Imagine the audacity of some wanting teachers to “question” students. We should listen to children and absorb their collective wisdom. The world would be such a better place and it would save the planet from climate change. /s
Thank the Lord, she’s a former teacher. Our job is to make everyone with an Ed degree a former teacher. These indoctrinated morons don’t even deserve a job where they “question”, “Do you want fries with that?”
Public school teachers are the enemy. Treat them as such.
This is spreading across the country...go parents!
That’s child abuse. I bet they force your child to pray. /s
The Left takes over everything, including the Loudon County School Board. It’s their mission in life. It’s what gives their life meaning.
Recruiting to LGTBQ = lifelong Dem voter.
Extremely profitable ($1m+) per recruit for the various chemicals and surgeries they’ll need.
Of course, suicide rate is high as all of this is experimental and painful. But another martyr for their cause and back to recruiting more.
As for state run “schools” here’s an example of their quality product:
BALTIMORE (WBFF) – A shocking discovery out of a Baltimore City high school, where Project Baltimore has found hundreds of students are failing. It’s a school where a student who passed three classes in four years, ranks near the top half of his class with a 0.13 grade point average.
It’s due to the Union mentality. It’s all about power and control over others. In this case using kids for their own benefit, which has now devolved to using them for sexual gratification. It all starts with the self-serving union mentality.
The world system brainwashes all of us more than we know. I love Scripture because I can feel myself being deprogrammed every time I go there. Divine sanity!
Exactly.
Leftists replace true religion and God with their global homosexual satanic plan, which will install the antichrist as supreme leader of the world. All about peace and love when the true agenda is domination and control. They’ve seen how well the Chinese crested Covid crisis upset things. That’ll be repeated with a far worse virus next time and the loss of freedoms will be permanent. Great Reset.
If people gave up rights and freedoms over essentially a version of the flu with a 99.9% survival rate, what will they give up in the face of a 2-5% kill rate illness? Spanish Flu level numbers would end travel rights, voting rights, free speech, etc.
They will fully implement the social credit score ($2500 fine for any “disinformation” violation).
Conservatives tend to think leftists are like them. They have a core set of beliefs in America and our values (free speech, dignity of life, etc). In fact, leftists are here to kill, destroy, and dominate everyone because that’s their history since Marx.
Amazingly the working class voters are voting against globalism and for Trump. Dem supporters are the top 2%era as socialism marched through the institutions and controls colleges and our press They have the extremely poor but mostly through corruption and stolen votes.
It may take a limited nuclear exchange to end Dem control of our major cities.
Good move, but please, keep a close eye on the curriculum. Even religious schools have been infiltrated as we’re experiencing here. https://www.kuow.org/stories/seattle-pacific-university-leaders-sued-over-lgbtq-policies
Read the link at post #14. Always be vigilant because the insidious left is always slithering into areas they do not belong.
Catholics are in real trouble. Just think about the current 3 most well known Catholics…Nancy Pelosi-Brandon Biden and the current communist Pope Francis. See what I mean?
Nothing like Reagan-Thatcher-Pope Saint John Paul II.
where are these Loudin County board members coming from? Does the gay/tranny cult control all the politics in loudin County? They must have control of the schools promoting deviate programs trying to groom young people for deviate sex practices so the homos and trannies can have a good time without repercussions and pedo will become normal. Seems that is what the school board is trending for.
It’s time for Governor Youngkin to use FORCE to enFORCE the will of the voters on these Communists. They ignore laws. They ignore court rulings. They ignore protests. Will they ignore a State Trooper’s gun pointed in their little Commie faces?
“Brenda Bengston, who taught in the Loudoun County Public School district for 31 years, said the parent movement was “all political”
Of course it is. She’s just mad that our side is starting to play the political game and is winning.

Very true. Same here re: Scripture.
It is now worthless regarding its original objectives.
