Last night, a chorus of enraged parents gathered at a Virginia school to protest planned rule changes that include punishing youngsters for’maliciously misgendering’ their trans classmates if they refer to them by their former names by accident.
The Fairfax County school board is currently debating whether or not the consequences for students at Luther Jackson Middle School in Falls Church, Virginia should be implemented.
It would make ‘deadnaming,’ or referring to a trans person by their previous name before transitioning, a punishable infraction.
The board is also debating whether boys and girls should be taught together in sex education sessions.
Parents complain that their children are being exposed to ‘too much, too young,’ and that some of the items they are being shown are ‘pornographic.’
The parents held placards that read “concerned parents are not terrorists” and “we the parents have had enough” at a meeting in Virginia last week.
‘This morning, I asked my son what he was going to learn. ‘Math, science, language arts, and writing,’ he said. ‘Oh, science,’ he said. Isn’t that what we want to hear?
‘We don’t want to hear,’ says the group “Today I was chastised for using the incorrect pronoun when addressing someone. “Malicious misgendering,” as defined by this legislation “‘Jeff, one of the parents, told FOX News.
Parents want to be permitted to choose whether or not their children attend mixed-gender sex education classes.
‘That is extremely important. Especially when they’re expanding on facts that pupils are learning at school but would never be mentioned in an adult workplace.
‘Some of the things that kids are being told in school, or even literature that they’re receiving in school, is that if you sold it on the street or had it on the street, you’d be criminalized for it,’ parent Elizabeth McCauley explained.
‘It’s forcing our children to engage in certain behaviors and speak in certain ways, and especially…if you’re a conservative or Christian family, you have a right to live in reality and…address someone who is obviously male as a guy.’
‘I don’t believe that speaking should be forced,’ said Stacy Langton, the mother.
There are 12 members on the Fairfax County School Board, ten of them are women.
After taking the stage with anti-CRT books at a school board meeting in March, Asian Muslim mother Asra Nomani was marched out.
She had taken copies of Luke Rosiak’s book Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education with her.
Nomani later stated in an article that the event cost her her employment at the nonprofit Parents Defending Education.
‘Over the past two years, I have observed a new racism leveled towards Asian Americans, like me, by the 12-0 enlightened Democrats on the school board, whose children’s success in K-12 schools defies the premise that structural racism oppresses all minorities.’
‘The progressive Democrats’ bitter irony flashed before my eyes.
‘The school board, which frequently preaches about “white dominance” and “caring culture,” had despatched white security officials against me, an Asian immigrant Muslim single mother,’ she said in a March piece for The Federalist.
The school board has postponed a decision on whether or not to punish students for deadnaming until June.
