More Citizens Express Concerns about School Board Actions
The Fairfax County School Board and FCPS administrators have become increasingly contemptuous of its constituents. As reported in recent posts on this site, they have recently enacted highly controversial measures, ignoring the results of their own surveys showing massive opposition by the community. For inexplicable reasons, the Board and the administration seem to care principally about one tiny-but-vocal group — advocates of transgenderism.
More and more citizens are beginning to be aware, speaking at Board meetings, writing to FCPS in protest, publishing op-ed pieces, and spreading the word to neighbors and friends.
As an example, I am attaching a recent letter to the Board from one concerned citizen. It addresses, among other things, FCPS’s undemocratic, dismissive actions and attitude, its lack of transparency, its enactment of unpopular unisex sex-ed classes for young children, and its promotion of unscientific, destructive transgender ideology. The letter is well researched and compellingly written, and is well worth reading. It can be found HERE. The Board members and school administrators will probably toss it aside, as they do with everything else that doesn’t agree with their ideological approach to education, but if more and more citizens speak up, there will hopefully be an impact eventually.

Thank you! What a read indeed. More thoughts to come.
I love how they dismiss their own survey because not everyone filled it out so it is not representative. I guess since not every registered Fairfax voter voted in their election we can dismiss them as well.
Richard: Good point. Consistency isn’t their strong point. If the results of the survey had supported what they wanted to do, you can be sure they’d be singing a different tune about its value.
Great point, Richard. I wish I’d pointed that out in the letter.
Brilliant letter by a mature, insightful citizen. I will comfort myself with the thought that the board will take heed.
Thanks, Steve. We can always hope. Some Board members are more reasonable than others. We have to reason with the ones we can and remove the others.
