Alert: FCPS Students Will Be Automatically Enrolled in Unpopular Unisex Sex-Ed Classes Unless Parents Opt Out Soon.

In 2022-23, when transgender advocates urged the Fairfax County School Board to eliminate gender-separate sex-ed classes for boys and girls, 84% of the community opposed the idea in a public survey.  The School Board therefore ducked the issue and didn’t vote on it.  Nonetheless, FCPS administrators thereafter quietly decided to proceed with a version of…
