Va. County Imposes Transgender Lessons On Middle Schoolers

FAIRFAX, Va. — Tempers flared among parents at the final Fairfax County School Board meeting for the school year, when 10-to-2 vote decided last Thursday 7ththrough 10th grade students that the sex education curriculum would include lessons pertaining to gender identity and transgender issues.

The school board vote happened one day before the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to legalize same-sex marriage across the country.

Those protesting the curriculum changes wore red t-shirts and bright stickers with the phrase, “Respect parents’ rights” while others supporting the board wore stickers that said, “Teach the facts.”

Changes to the Family Life Education curriculum spanned across each grade level, but the move of the more sensitive material from one section of the curriculum to another has opponents more than upset, despite the board’s insistence that students can opt out of such classes, if their parents choose to do so.

You can opt out of some things but once they classify this as a 'health' class the parents will NOT be able to opt out of the child taking the class. If they don't take it they fail. THAT IS WRONG!
