"One commenter and concerned teacher, Laura Morris, who had worked at Loudoun County public schools for five years, delivered an impassioned statement resigning from her position, and described how teachers were being encouraged to report each other should they overhear comments from co-workers critical of the policy."

I am relatively new to the GC fight, the more I read and learn the more confused and stupefied I am at how underhanded this ideology is and how laws etc change to accommodate this bullshit at the expense of women's sex based lawful rights.
Can someone please tell me why there is no genuine push by lawmakers in the US, UK, Ireland, NZ, Australia and Canada to name a few for a 3rd space (or however many these gender ideologists want) in prisons, schools, dressing rooms, sports etc and that way they can live whatever way they want with their feelings and f*ck off and leave my sex alone. I genuinely do not understand any of this madness.
What does gender-expansive mean? What is a gender-expansive student? Seeing as this is apparently now a legal term, I'd like to know. Who will be enforcing this? Do they know what this means, this part of law they will be enforcing? How will it be enforced and with what sanctions?
“All students are expected to display good sportsmanship in competitive activities, whether they are participants or spectators, and they shall conduct themselves in a manner demonstrating respect for persons and property.”
In other words, all students whether participants or spectators, will comply with OUR totalitarian rule. Where is the respect for females?
They have no choice but to pull children from these schools. We have a pattern of these school boards outright ignoring parents and constituent concerns, whether it be CRT, gender or mask wearing. The bureaucrats are not there to serve the public anymore, so no more hoping for a better result. Pull them.
We are thinking homeschooling for our kid. We are both career teachers so feel we'll be better for it than the school system with their mad new doctrine.
If only half of this is true - and with Glinner I have no reason to doubt all is true - these procedures are a most frightening example of shutting down public opinion and casting anyone who does not wholeheartedly agree as a potential terrorist. There has absolutely never been an example of concerned parents or other citizens using force or the threat of force to shut down such procedures. On the contrary, it is trans acitivists who regularly resort to violence against dissenters, who threaten and intimidate them. And very publicly so. Yet, it is the general public that has second thoughts about these esoteric and harmful policies that gets treated like terrorists and vilified publicly. This is getting ever more akin to 1930's Austria and Germany where fascists militia openly paraded the streets, threatenting to kill and sometimes killing leftwing activists, politicians and union staff and guess who was disarmed - the workers' militias, the Communists and the Social Democrats.
Here is how parents in Loudon County can deal with the school board (I saw this done in California in 1971). I hope someone on here has a contact in Virginia.
Remove your children from school. You can say they are sick or whatever you like. The federal government reimburses schools based on the numbers of children who are actually IN SCHOOL each day. The school board will cave to parents' pressure if they start losing federal funding. I know Biden has reinstated Obama's ruling on gender identity, but I still think this might be a tactic. In California, the students went on strike for greater racial diversity in advanced placement classes, a bare bones dress code (shoes and no underwear showing), etc. The absolute BEST school I ever attended with superb teachers and an administration which supported their teachers.
Are the board members getting backhanders from someone? why on earth would they push this through? is it cos it doesnt affect them in anyway? - im really baffled
It's like discussing feminism...with the Taliban.

The whole thing stinks.

It's almost like officials are being blackmailed and forcing these policies through when the vast majority of people do not want them.
