Kill the school administrators.
New laws under Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin have counteredpublic schools sexualization of our kids, but fierce opposition
is mounting.
Ahigh school teacher in Fairfax County, Virginia, recently read
aloud to her 10th-grade English class the poem Fingers, an
explicit account of a young girl masturbating. The poem was
excerpted from The Poet X, a provocative coming-of-age novel
by Elizabeth Acevedo assigned to sophomores at Madison High
School in Vienna. Despite last springs passage of a law
requiring advance notification of explicit sexual content,
parents were provided no notice of either the read-aloud or the
sexual content of the book (other than a general disclaimer of
possible mature content at the end of a syllabus listing the
titles only).
This incident highlights the growing sexualization of kids in
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), an effort long led by the
school board and permeating both curriculum and recently passed
transgender policies. The trend has been countered by Virginia
Gov. Glenn Youngkins law on parental notification of explicit
materials, and, most dramatically, by his new transgender policy
requiring parental consent for gender-bending in schools. But
fierce opposition is mounting in Virginias largest school
system, and the battle lines are drawing national attention.
Undergirding the sexualization of children across the country is
the portrayal of parents as potentially unsafe while schools are
trusted allies, as well as a willingness to keep parents in the
dark about curriculum and their childs decision to pretend to
be the opposite sex at school. The stakes couldnt be higher, as
reports multiply of schools secretly helping children so-called
transition, sometimes playing a part in parents losing their
child.
Youngkins victorious Parents Matter campaign galvanized weary
family advocates, and his new policies are cause for hope. But
forces are rallying against such initiatives, including school
boards, teachers unions, heavily funded ideological groups, and
Democrat Party leaders. In Fairfax, the public comment period
for Youngkins transgender policy opened Sept. 26, with comments
exceeding in a day the comments received in a month about the
previous guidance. A Fairfax-based student LGBT group staged a
walkout protesting the Youngkin policy on Sept. 27, joined by
students in many Virginia schools.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre signaled
President Bidens support the same day as a partner and
strong ally, adding that the president is always proud to
speak out against mistreatment of that [transgender student]
community. With Fairfax wielding disproportionate influence on
national education policy, the battle will reach far beyond
Virginia.
Parents as Oppressors, Schools as Saviors
The protagonist of The Poet X, Xiomara, explores her sexuality
and rebellion against God in secret from her oppressively
religious and punitive parents, while both she and her brother
secretly date boys. Finding her voice through poetry, Xiomara
becomes her own god. Throughout, she lies to her parents while
growing closer to the novels priestly figure: her English
teacher.
The rationale offered for choosing this novel was diversity of
perspective in this case, a Hispanic one. Fairfaxs richly
diverse communities are often deeply religious and culturally
conservative. Why, then, choose an author whose portrayal of
religion, parenthood, and sexuality could offend so many in this
community if they but knew?
A deeper dive into the English curriculum reveals a years worth
of diverse texts featuring sexual abuse, sexual minorities,
and sexual development. Who anointed the high school English
department as the instructor of teen sexual experience all
without notifying parents?
The answer is simple. The Poet X reflects many FCPS leaders
view of themselves as sexual progressives rescuing students from
obscurantist parents and outdated religious beliefs, while
ushering them into the real world where they can embrace their
sexuality.
Practice of Shutting Out Parents Continues
Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe lost his election after he
defended vetoing a bill requiring parental notification of
sexually explicit book assignments, with the tone-deaf statement
that parents shouldnt be telling schools what they should
teach. And yet, the McAuliffe doctrine lives on, with parents
provided only title lists, buried in cumbersome software
platforms and featuring a general statement at the lists end
that texts may contain mature content, with alternatives
available upon request.
Some books, such as George Orwells 1984, may have value
outweighing concerns over sexual passages. Parents, however, are
best positioned to know which children can handle mature content
and which have sensitivities, learning disabilities, or past
experiences that could render texts problematic, or even
traumatic.
Once elected, Gov. Youngkin signed the explicit content bill
into law, placing the onus on schools to share content, not on
parents to excavate it. It requires [d]irectly identifying the
specific instructional material and sexually explicit subjects
in advance, and offering parents alternatives if desired. While
local policies must be in place by Jan. 1, 2023, the guidance is
effective now.
Radical Gender Ideology and Sexualization
Nowhere is the early sexualization of children more evident than
in FCPSs radical sex ed. And while parents can review general
objectives and opt out, few see the actual lessons, which
require in-person review. This coming year, the FCPS school
board will consider the sex-ed curriculum committees unanimous
recommendation to move instruction on so-called gender identity
down to elementary levels a flagrant contradiction of State
Standards of Learning.
I served several eye-opening years on the sex-ed committee. It
voted to show students video reenactments of rape, claiming this
was beneficial. A feature about inappropriate touch was so
disturbing, the chair asked if we adults needed a moment to
recover. The committee then promptly voted to show it to 8-year-
olds.
However, the committees taste for explicit information did not
extend to accepting my request to include in the lessons related
to gender transition information that affirmation is not
settled science and that hormonal and surgical alterations carry
serious risks. The school board threw me off the committee
instead.
Deceiving Parents and Dismissing Evidence
In The Poet X, Xiomara finds refuge from the oppressive
characters mother, father, God with her teacher, who tells
her: You dont have to do anything you dont want to do. That
philosophy encapsulates the FCPS school boards transgender
policy, passed in 2021 over tremendous community opposition.
Embracing former Gov. Northams policy for Virginia schools, it
affirms a students so-called gender transition, provides
school experts in support, and in practice authorizes access by
males to all female spaces. Everything is secret from parents
unless the student decides otherwise. The accompanying FCPS
student code of conduct penalizes malicious misgendering at
the same level as assault.
Gov. Youngkin revoked the Northam policy on Sept. 16. His new
guidance requires parental consent for gender transition and
stipulates students use facilities and participate in sports
based on sex. FCPS school board members charges of hate and
cruelty in response reveal their disregard for parents.
The Northam/FCPS approach claims to be evidence-based, yet
suppresses critical information by offering gender affirmation
only a model European countries are revising as evidence of
harm accrues. Resources cited are from ideological groups and
activist medical committees. They omit research showing gender
affirmation does not resolve suicidality, that affirmation
masks underlying mental health issues, and that mutilative
surgery and sterilizing hormone treatments do irreversible harm.
There are no heartbreaking stories from young detransitioners
hoping to save others from lifelong pain. No mention that the
protocol-setting World Professional Association for Transgender
Health (WPATH) reportedly dropped all age restrictions for child
surgery, nor that WPATHs registered members include a therapist
fighting to demarginalize pedophilia, and other alarming
associates.
A Critical Juncture
Underlying all these issues from curriculum to transgender
policies is the belief that authority and expertise ultimately
rest with schools, not parents. While Youngkins policies offer
hope as countermeasures, parents would be foolish to think a
tide rising for decades, not only in Virginia but around the
nation, will be easily turned.
Parents need to step up now more than ever. Plenty of ideologues
are waiting to save our children from us if we dont.
