    Fairfax, Virginia Schools May Expel Elementary Students For ‘Misgendering’ People

    This is big in the local news. Fairfax schools have a new rule that you can't "maliciously" misgender another student. The key here is malicious. It is being used by the county as any misgendering after correction by a teacher. So if Johnny wants to be called Jane this semester, Bobby must use Jane and not Jonny. If Bobby calls Jane Johnny after being corrected, just in normal conversation without attacking Jane, Bobby can be suspended or expelled.

    That is crazy.

    Now if Bobby is being mean about it and badgering Jane, schools already have a policy to use. The bullying policy.

    I smell another lawsuit against the school district.

    Fairfax, Virginia Schools May Expel Elementary Students For ‘Misgendering’ People

    For those who scoff that Florida’s new education law bans “non-existent” gender indoctrination, let the tale of Fairfax County, Virginia serve as a wake-up call.

    Fairfax County’s school board has long prided itself on leading the way for the nation in cutting-edge education policy and curriculum. As the tenth-largest district in the nation, it holds disproportionate sway over other school boards.


    In 2015, the Fairfax school board blindsided parents with changes to its non-discrimination policy, followed by a sweeping expansion of the sex-ed curriculum and new rules governing student offenses and penalties. This is not an isolated policy. In Wisconsin, three middle-schoolers have been accused of “sexual harassment” for using biologically accurate pronouns to refer to a fellow student.


    Fairfax’s proposed changes, set to be approved May 26, have hit a new low. Legally meaningless offenses such as “malicious misgendering” and “outing related to gender identification” would be now punishable by up to “Level 4” sanctions. It’s the last level before penalties for drug dealing, rape, and homicide.


    Level 4 is the punishment meted out for assault and battery, drug consumption, theft, and arson. These penalties may be applied even to kindergarteners and include, at their worst, expulsion at the behest of the school board.


    This barrage of ideological punishment is accompanied by the school board sex-ed committee’s latest, unanimous April 2022 vote to move instruction on gender identity down to elementary school. This puts the Fairfax school system entirely out of step with the Virginia State Standards of Learning on Family Life Education (sex ed).

    There was a report on Fox last night about another school that has charged Middle School students with "Sexual Harassment" under Title IX for the refusal to use a "They" pronoun favored by another student. The parents are shocked and taking legal action.

    I do feel that we do a poor job with anti-bullying despite all the money and rhetoric. But suspension for one verbal offence? I'm sure that does not happen if you pick on a conservative, a short kid, a fat kid etc. Even when malicious why should this one area be treated differently?
    Special rights now outweigh regular rights .

    Best bet is for the entire class to refuse to talk to it or even look at it. Why risk your future on some activist and confused kid. Not to mention that it will eat the activists and the weirdos up. It is their little power trip.
