Beginning in Kindergarten children are taught that family includes “2 mothers” or “2 fathers”

Changes in Family Life Education for Kindergarten and all subsequent Grades

On June 17, 2023, Board Member Karl Frisch moved to amend the FLECAC (Family Life Education Curriculum Advisory Committee) Report to change the definition of “two-parent family”, beginning in kindergarten to include “2 mothers” or “2 fathers”. The Family Life Education Curriculum Advisory Committee did not make any such recommendation. The parents and community were not consulted. The Fairfax County School Board voted to redefine two-parents to include “2 mothers” or “2 fathers” and to educate your children, beginning in kindergarten, with that “knowledge and attitude” as required by Social Emotional Learning. What will be next? On his re-election website, Board Member Karl Frisch, who proposed this amendment, states that he and his partner Evan “are the proud dog dads of Dexter, an energetic twelve-year-old Wheaten Terrier mix.” Will there be a need for Mr. Frisch to “clarify” the definition of “child” to include “dogs” to reflect his stated “parenthood”?
