Parents in Fairfax, Virginia, rallied ahead of a school board meeting to sound off on potential changes to sex-ed classes and increased penalties for students for 'misgendering.'
Parents in Fairfax, Va., rallied ahead of a school board meeting to sound off on potential changes to family life education classes and increased penalties for students for "misgendering."- Despite the Fairfax County school board's decision to punt a controversial vote on changes to family life education classes to June, parents showed up in full force at Luther Jackson Middle School at last Thursday's meeting.
"I asked my son this morning what he was going to learn," Jeff told Fox News Digital at a rally ahead of the school board meeting."He said, ‘math, science, language arts, writing. And he said, ’oh, science.' That's what we want to hear, right? We don't want to hear, ‘I got punished today because I called somebody by the wrong pronoun. Or what this regulation identifies as 'malicious misgendering.
"They're afraid because hey, I'm a mother bear," McCauley said, pointing to her t-shirt that read,"Beware the Mama Bear.""Beware the mother bears. Mother bears and Papa bears are coming out because we care about the future of our country. We care about our children."Fairfax parent Thomas Ferguson agreed some issues in the classroom are too much, too soon for young, impressionable minds.
"So, to try to tackle these politically charged, very dynamic, sort of social hot buttons, at such a young age, seems very inappropriate, especially when a parent should be the first person to actually have those types of conversations with their child," Ferguson said. Parent Stacy Langton argued that having co-ed sex-ed classes would make the students"uncomfortable." As for the penalties against misgendering, Langton said it could just be cases where kids are"goofing off."
