Parents react ahead of a Fairfax County Public Schools vote on student handbook changes related to gender ideology.
Virginia parents told Fox News Digital why they are protesting changes to school policies increasing punishment for students' 'malicious misgendering' of their peers.approved changes to expand punishment for students for"malicious misgendering" at Luther Jackson Middle School Thursday.
"Last year, this Board refused to provide our children in-person education for over a year," Lundquist-Arora continued."Families were struggling and inundated with homeschooling or mediating their children’s virtual learning, and rather than addressing academic concerns, this Board slips a policy past us that virtually no one supports. Last night, we witnessed them doubling down on that policy and confirming that parents’ voices do not matter to them.
Another parent, Jennifer Hoyer, called the schools' actions"subversive" and that the changes would result in a lot of student"trauma.""This school board will weaponize anything they can to punish anybody who disagrees with them," another Fairfax parent declared, referencing how during the pandemic Fairfax County Public Schools considered students' refusal to wear a mask a violation of the dress code.
Several drivers honked in support as they passed by the rally, with one woman yelling,"Yeah! Keep it up!"
