Parents outraged over Fairfax, VA ‘gender identity’ policy

The Washington Times reports:

Concerned parents are trying to block a vote by the Fairfax County Public School Board — which oversees the largest public school system in Virginia — to include “gender identity” in its nondiscrimination policy.

Under the new provision, transgender students and faculty would be considered a protected class, meaning that male students who identify as female could use female bathrooms, and parents would not be able to opt their children out of classes taught by transgender teachers.

Parents are outraged that the school board hasn’t given them the opportunity to ask questions about the implications of the new provision, and say the board is sneaking a policy amendment through without collaborating with the community.

The freaky world of public education! Are you a bad parent if you send your kid to one of these schools?
