Criticism of Transgender Agenda Will Get Virginia Students Expelled
Breitbart ^

Posted on 06/10/2016 4:42:50 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

Youths in Fairfax County, Virginia, can now be disciplined and even expelled from school for criticizing the intrusive and aggressive transgender ideology.

The transgender change in school regulations was imposed last night during a dramatic board meeting where only 12 pro-trans witnesses were invited to testify.

The board members met on Thursday night only after being informed the night before that the discipline change would be considered. No opposing voices were allowed to be heard, parents were relegated to shouting opposition from the seats and some were ejected from the meeting.

It’s high time to start and support a lot more private universities with the academic standards and plain common sense of 60 or more years ago.

>Put your kids in private school or homeschool, and vote to defund the public school system.

Unfort, we have long since passed from any semblance of our Founding. Many States have ‘FREE’ public education in their Constitutions, town charters or the like...regardless of the 5th/13th.

Yes, education, at ALL levels, should be paid by the users. But, until the ‘law’ is changed, little can be done.

IMO, suck it up, charter/home-school/etc. and consider the 2x-cost WORTH skipping the indoctrination. I suspect the family life, child rearing and stability (emotional/mental/religious) will be a damn good trade-off.

Charter schools are public schools.

Don’t bother with the public schools. You won’t win. Home school or start your own private schools.

I think the way to start getting that point across is to start the petition for recall IN the meeting. Just start walking around gathering signatures. If some moron on the board tries to have you ejected JUST for gathering signatures for a recall petition, retain just about any lawyer for a rather nice civil rights violation lawsuit.

Somehow, I’d imagine that those on the board would find some method to change the rules to permit ‘at least some’ discussion on the matter.

The locals need to run for the board and change things.

I don’t understand where this transgender crap came from all of a sudden. I haven’t seen any drag queens out there shouting saying they want to go to the girls’ restrooms. What they want is in the boys’ restrooms.

Nor have I seen any dikes out there saying they want to go to the boys’ restrooms. What they want is in the girls’ restrooms.

How is that so complicated?

The bottom line is if someone is really transgendered and they’re now living the life of the “new sex” then they’ll fit right in whatever bathroom their “new sex” allows.

There was a case recently where a mentally ill boy was allowed by a public high school to use the girl’s facilities, but for PE, he had to change behind a curtain. He sued, saying it made him feel excluded. The federal government threatened to pull all federal funding from the school district if they didn’t totally give in to his demands.

So the boy has the right to be naked in front of the girls, because his feelings trump all the other girls’ privacy rights. And the school caved on that last little attempt to mollify it because feds provided around 10% of their budget.

With the money comes control, and by tying transgenderism to Title 9 federal funding, now they can use federal funds to enforce it.

Fairfax County Public Schools are funded almost exclusively by the property taxes in the county. Approximately one-half of the county budget is spent on the schools. I believe the school budget would have just been passed by the county Board of Supervisors within the last month to fund the operations for the coming year. The School Board and Board of Supervisors members will have to stand for election next year. We’ll see how that goes. Fairfax was a fairly conservative, fairly Republican place until the past 20 years or so. Not it’s blue, blue blue.

Yep, school boards don’t need any push from the government to push transgender policies. They do this on their own.

Using simple logic....the only way that this trans thing works is that it’s a ‘pretend-game’. But if it’s built like that...why couldn’t you tell your son (Rufus Jr)...that he’s a ape-man, a warlock, or ninja-warrior? When the school intellectual crowd complains....then you flip this over, and say Rufus is a trans-ape-man, a trans-warlock, or a trans-ninja-warrior.

I kinda think that the school crowd has opened a bigger mess than intended. Eventually, some idiot will suggest that they need to hire gifted trans-teachers and set aside 30-percent of the teaching jobs as such.

The individual school may get fewer dollars allocated due to fewer students, but a portion of the property taxes you pay—based on your home’s value—is set aside for schools.
My kids are grown and gone, and yet I am taxed for the local school district.
Section 8 renters paying, say, $35 per month in rent, pay nothing in property taxes, while taxpayers subsidize the rest of the $900 per month rent paid, from which, presumably, the landlord pays the property / school taxes.
So the taxpayer pays twice.

“They found 12pro-trans witnesses?”

Wanna bet none of them actually live in that school district? They come in expressly for the purpose of disrupting. Shock troops.

Odinism does not permit persons unnatural to their gender (among other unnatural behaviors), in the old days it merited exile at a minimum. I don’t know if you could get action on religious grounds “self identifying” as a Viking ;)

You are also under a religious requirement to be armed. Only slaves are unarmed. Being armed is testimony that Odin made you free and you stand ready to serve.

I suspect these “actions by school boards” are being driven by government money. What do others think?

I think they are fellow travelers.

A good reason for school vouchers. Sure,the school district will lose money as students leave a certain school,but the taxes are still levied. The money needs to be spent where the students can get a real education & not put up with crap like this. The extra expense of getting students to a different school needs to be factored into the vouchers as well.
