The FCSB meeting was often heated, with numerous comparisons made to race-based discrimination, including slavery, by board members. After the vote, LGBT activist and Equality Virginia board member Catherine Read told LifeSiteNews.com that "if people really clung to these things, we'd still have slavery, women still wouldn't have the vote, and this would still be a black high school." Read said the issue is "about civil rights."

NO! This is about DESTROYING six thousand years of Judeo-Christian culture.

A teenage girl not wanting to disrobe in front of a group of teenage boys who have decided to say that they are "transgender" has NOTHING to do with racism.

The free market is the answer, someone should open a private school.

Perhaps this is a sign that these transminded liberals have bitten off more than they can make society chew, even with lies.

A lawsuit waiting to happen, and it won’t take very long. I would predict that the school board members’ tenure will be ended the next election. They may be forced out before the next election.

First give them federal funds. Then they hire people and buy things. Pretty soon they can’t operate without the funds. Now they have to do whatever they are told, or they have to pay off a bunch of people and stop buying things. Pretty smart for the government.

If, in the near future, there are well-publicized incidents of boys in girls’ bathrooms - because nobody really cares about the opposite case - then the school board members are toast.

If nothing happens before people’s attention wanders, then it’s “the new normal.”

I live in Fairfax County and have three school-aged children. I opt to send them to Catholic School however I have been following this item closely. Many (most of really) friends and neighbors send their kids to the local public schools which are touted as some of the best in the nation. Most of these friends and neighbors are left-leaning and spout for LGBT stuff and pull the lever for the dems. But now this is cutting too close to home. The typical democrat “Not in My Backyard” response will take over and the people are very upset! Because so many people want their 15 minutes of fame, I can’t wait to watch stuff come up in every school, at all ages, how little Joey is now Josephine and wants to use the girls’ bathroom... Pass the popcorn...

I am SO frikkin' pissed off at this.

I just copied out a different, but essentially the same .. article, and the words used said there were two heated debates, parents vastly outnumbering the board and proponants and that the board had "overwhelmingly" voted for the change

I've SEEN this shit in action, and we are in our own homosexual battle in my school district and I have started the community uprising.

THIS topic has not been addressed (yet?) because I'm still trying to find out when and who snuck in the GSA club (gay/straight alliance) in 2012

Reading THIS article is SO like the 'debates" that happen in our board meetings (but not in executive session where I become the biggest pain in the ass I can possibly be)

I;n incoherent right now ... I'll go settle down

True, True, wagglebee.

And, this whole sordid affair is a clear example of Federal blackmail; potentially withholding funding unless the local school board acquiesces in the perverted demands of the Socialist-in-Chief, and his criminal enterprise minions.

Time to close down the Dept of Education, along with most others, and return this nation to its Constitutional roots.

I was at the meeting. Parents and taxpayers were furious at the belligerence of the Democrats on the School Board and at the Obama administration. The large auditorium was packed and another 100 people in the lobby. Those wearing purple and indicating their support of the measure could be counted on one hand.

In all of this, I have a new hero, one of the two female Republican members, Elizabeth Schultz.

WARNING - IT HAS BEGUN...

FCPS’ FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING ADDING‘GENDER IDENTITY’ (TRANSGENDER) ETC. FOR CHILDREN BEGINNING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, 7th GRADE and UP!

Despite all the assurances of the FCPS School Board Members on Thursday, May 7th that “nothing will change” after their vote, two business days later on Monday, May 11th the School Board made public the FLE Committee report recommending the addition of the Gender-Identity (Transgender) Agenda down to middle school students in 7th grade.

NEWSFLASH: The FLE Committee reported it had been working on this change for over one year!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

THE FLE COMMITTEE REPORTED TO THE BOARD:

“PARENTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT OF THE LESSONS WHICH ARE MOVED FROM THE FLE CURRICULUM INTO THE HEALTH CURRICULUM.”

(See link below for the full document. All language with strikeout through it will be moved to mental health lessons, and not be available for opt-out.)

http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/9W4QLH5CB9D5/$file/FLECAC%20Annual%20Report%202014-2015.pdf

Here are some statements pulled from the recommended objectives:

Grade 7: Students will be provided definitions for sexual orientation terms heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality; and the gender identity term transgender.

Grade 8: Individual identity will also be described as having four parts — biological gender, gender identity (includes transgender), gender role, and sexual orientation (includes heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual). The concept that sexuality is a broader spectrum will be introduced.

Grade 9: Emphasis will be placed on tolerance and nondiscrimination of all people.

Grade 10: Emphasis will be placed on an understanding that there is a broader, boundless, and fluid spectrum of sexuality that is developed throughout a lifetime. Sexual orientation and gender identity terms will be discussed with focus on appreciation for individual differences.

ACTIONS TO TAKE:

For New business on May 21 - 10 speaking slots, sign up 6 am May 18 at http://www.fcps.edu/schlbd/meetings/requestspeak.shtml.

Written comment from May 21 – June 19 - We will send a link when this is available.

BOARD VOTE — JUNE 25

Until May 21 please send email to the school board regarding this at fairfaxcountyschoolboard@fcps.edu:

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

ANYONE interested in running, please know we WILL help you!

YOU DO STILL HAVE TIME! Please contact us immediately.

Clearly this School Board, aside from Elizabeth Schultz (Springfield) and Patty Reed (Providence), have no intentions of respecting parent rights or representing the will of the people they are elected to serve.

Their behavior as OUR elected officials was on prime display for everyone to see at the May 7th School Board meeting.

Despite overwhelming opposition from the community the following 10 members arrogantly voted to add ‘gender identity’ (transgender) anyway.

Ryan McElveen - at-large

Ilryong Moon - at-large

Ted Velkoff - at-large

Megan McLaughlin - Braddock

Jane Strauss - Dranesville

Pat Hynes - Hunter Mill

Tamara Derenak Kaufax - Lee

Sandy Evans - Mason

Dan Storck - Mount Vernon

Kathy Smith - Sully

These School Board Members were very dismissive and condescending toward those opposed to their agenda. The crowd was upset by their comments and demeanor and spoke out.

Just a few brief examples (More to come later):

· Megan McLaughlin: “There seems to be confusion in the audience. This is not about change. Misinformation and fear about change bathroom or locker room policy is simply not true. It is just an update.”

· Ryan McElveen: “I would like to warmly welcome you to OUR house.” Astonishingly, Mr. McElveen does not realize that the house is not theirs but OURS!

· Kathy Smith: Total silence; She is running for Sully District Board of Supervisors seat.

You get more of the behaviors you encourage. When we celebrate mental illness, we will get more teens claiming mental illness in a desperate bid for attention.

‘”gender identity” as a protected class’
What the hell? so if you want to lop off your schmeckel you get special privileges?

The country has degraded into multiple warring groups.

the solution to this is to mark the dressing rooms “penis” and “vagina”

You can “identify” any way you want, but you must use the room that matches your current private parts.

The new policy may also allow transgender teachers to show their gender dysphoria openly in the classroom.

Calling it gender dysphoria implies a mental illness. That is transphobic. Please stand in front of our anti-aircraft gun now.

South Park was ahead of its time.

DANG!

The motion to add "gender identity" as a protected class– which passed 10-1, with one abstentation – was sparked by the Obama administration's threat to deny the district $42 million in federal funding.

Trans-Nanny State PING!

If I tell my employer my "gender identity" is female, think they'll let me in the women's bathroom?
