What I Learned About the Transgender Politics Injected Into This Affluent County’s Schools
The Daily Signal ^ | November 3, 2019 | Cathy Ruse

Posted on 11/04/2019 9:01:36 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

I live in Fairfax County, Virginia, which has the 10th-largest public school district in the nation, but I never focused on our public schools.

My kids go to Catholic schools, and that was the center of our universe. I never focused, that is, until I heard that the Fairfax County School Board voted to let boys into the girls’ bathrooms.

The vote was 10-1. Was there only one sane person on the Fairfax County School Board?

I had to find out. So I began attending school board meetings.

And there I saw moms and dads begging the school board to stop threatening their child’s privacy and safety in intimate spaces and on the sports field. They pleaded with the board to stop the pornographic reading assignments. They tearfully asked board members to respect their family’s religious beliefs.

These were my neighbors, fighting to stop their school board from playing sex politics with their children.

This shouldn’t happen anywhere in America. I resolved that it wasn’t going to happen in my county, on my watch, without a fight.

Fairfax County, just outside Washington, is the second-richest county in America. But most parents here don’t know that every year, beginning in seventh grade, their children will be taught lessons on “transgender theory.”

How did this happen? It started with a vote in 2015 to add “gender identity” to the Fairfax County school system’s nondiscrimination policy.

You can watch the vote on YouTube. Hundreds of parents, filling the room, occasionally shouting, trying to be heard. You can see the board chairman gavel them down and threaten to kick them out. You can see Ryan McElveen, the sponsor, scolding them, telling them they’re on the wrong side of history.

telling them they’re on the wrong side of history...

go #### yourself, though that might turn this individual on

THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY!!! NOT LETTING BOYS INTO GIRLS’ ROOMS!!

Just do a wholesale “stay at home” week or month or however long.

Better than your daughter getting raped.

There’s only MEN AND WOMEN!! That’s it!!

God made it simple. XX XY.

Very simple solution if there’s actual support for stopping this madness, pay attention to who you’re voting for and make sure that your county charter has written in it, the ability for the people/taxpayer to recall and fire someone. And mandate that no insane contracts are to be given to anyone for fear that they get hired, get fired and then have the ability to sue for wrongful termination or some other nonsense like that.

If I’m not mistaken, something similar happened in Tennessee, although it was about muslims/islam. The board member told the people that if they didn’t like the
islam-supporting curriculum then they should move out of the district.

A DAX1 gene on both X and Y chromosomes creates a female.

The SRY gene added to an X chromosome will cause a male from an individual with two X chromosomes.

There are other mutations that mess with sex as well.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

From a meta-analysis in the ‘90s, we found that about one in 69,000 was ambiguous. That’s not worth bringing down a civilization with many attached problems to suit unrelated subculture constituents who are criminal in nature (the forcible sodomy lobby, feminists, slavers, all).

Investigate and define the problem. What are the real motives of those school board members? Find out as to whether or not a motive might involve an anti-competition effort (against new business starts, professional development for more members of other families, etc.).

If for no other reason, that this is the precise reason we won the last election.

"Polls show the transgender ideology is deeply unpopular, especially among women and parents. In 2017, former President Barack Obama told NPR that his promotion of the transgender ideology made it easier for Donald Trump to win the presidency ."

After the New Year, I’d like to see some independent groups run ads detailing what democrats do that most people hate. That would include boys in the girls locker room, boys winning girls sports, antifa, dems calling everybody racist, sexist homophobic, their anti-religious stances, their support of criminals and illegals over the law abiding, and show the destruction of cities.

Then end every ad with the last five seconds of this video: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1178055467987275776?lang=en
