FALLS CHURCH, Va. -The Fairfax County School Board has voted in favor of expanding its non-discrimination policy to protect transgender students and staff.
The school board approved the change much to the dismay of many parents and this issue could soon affect other school systems because the school board said the change was federally mandated.
At its core, this fight circles around two words that have very big meanings: gender identity. The school board's move to change its non-discrimination policy is causing conflict between people who say transgendered people need protection and others who say the policy change has not been thought out.
Fairfax County Public Schools' non-discrimination policy has protections on race, color, sex, marital status, religion, nationality, disability and genetics. Before being approved, there was nothing in it about being transgender.

Well, you have a long list to make if you want to go down that road.
Manic- depressive, kleptomaniacs, sharia law followers, schizophrenics, I mean, if you want to make a school into a freak show, You have to let in a lot of freaks.
Think about that for a while.
What about educating students as to what the world expects of them and is in need of talent wise?
Or, is that just a peripheral "attitude"?
Homeschool
So if I want to be a pervert, and future sex offender, all I got to do is say I am Transgender.
