FCPS to Parents: We Know Best! And don’t you forget it!

Under the current Administration and School Board (2020-2023) FCPS has exhibited a disdain for parents who do not share their Ideology. It has played out in policies related to Family Life Education, Social Emotional Learning Curricula, the treatment of children with Gender Dysphoria, Pornography in School Libraries. Few groups of parents were treated more despicably than the parents of students from Thomas Jefferson School who objected to the lowering of standards in the name of “equity”.

These pages will address:

  • The recent discussion at a Work Session where Board members and the Superintendent appear to be hell-bent on combining boys and girls for the puberty lesson in grades 5th-8th in opposition to the vast percentage of parents (84%) who object. In addition, 48 students responded and the majority opposed the combining of boys and girls saying they would feel awkward, embarrassed, and uncomfortable in a mixed-gender class. Fairfax County School Superintendent, Michelle Reid, response? “Honestly, the majority doesn’t always dictate, right?” Watch the video yourself.
  • Reaction of the School Board when a parent read and showed images from a pornographic book in her son’s high school library. Same reaction when a father read obscene material from his daughter’s class assignment.
  • Emails exchanged between School Board Members about Parents opposing the new Admissions Policy at Thomas Jefferson High School.
  • VDOE Model policies on ensuring privacy, dignity, and respect for all students and parents in Virginia’s Public Schools.
