FALLS CHURCH, Virginia (LifeSiteNews) – School teachers in a Virginia district have been instructed to forego consulting parents when students as young as 5-years-old wish to change their gender identity while in school, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Fairfax County Public Schools has instituted a new training program for its teaching staff, informing them that students do not require parental consent in order to have teachers address them by their “preferred pronoun,” use the locker room and bathroom according to their elected identity, and even change their gender identity to “identify as male, female, or nonbinary” as recognized on official records in a school’s “Student Information System” (SIS).
The training program, entitled “Supporting Gender-Expansive and Transgender Youth,” was required of teachers and, according to the Washington Free Beacon, educators could not progress through the module without selecting the “correct” answers to questions on student gender identity permissions.
NEW. Our @IWN parent advocate Stephanie Lundquist-Arora got this scoop. @fcpsnews is putting teachers through reeducation training: “Supporting Gender-Expansive and Transgender Youth.”
Q: “Parent permission is required for which of the following?”
A: “None of the above.”
