Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

Over the past two years, schools across the United States have excluded parents from vital matters regarding the education and wellbeing of their children.

Former Governor Ralph Northam's 2021 Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools did just that. Those policies said: "There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student's request to affirm their gender identity, and school staff should work with students to help them share the information with their family when they are ready to do so."

But your new Model Policies On the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools return to parents the right to direct their children's upbringing.

Thank you for supporting parents and parental rights in education. It's vital that you move forward with these policies and restore parents' rights to direct the education and upbringing of their children.

GREAT WORK SO FAR!! PLEASE KEEP IT UP!

Strongly support the Governor's trans policy

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly support Gov. Youngkin’s policy on Trans that excludes males identifying as females from participating in women’s sports as well as allowing parents access to information about their children asking to be identified as other than their biological sex at schools without their parents’ knowledge or permission.

Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

Policies for transgender students implemented in states and school districts across the United States have sought to exclude parents from vital conversations about their child's education and wellbeing.

Former Governor Ralph Northam's administration chipped away at the rights of Virginia parents with its 2021 model policies for transgender students. Those policies explicitly stated that school officials were not always required to tell parents about their child's decision to use a new name and pronouns at school.

I'm writing in support of the Youngkin administration's new model policies, "On the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents In Virginia's Public Schools," which enshrine the rights of parents to direct the upbringing of their child while respecting all students across the Commonwealth.

Thank you for your commitment to parents' rights in education. I urge you to implement the policies as written and restore the right and responsibility of parents to make the best decisions for their child.

Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

Parents have the innate right and responsibility to see to the social, religious, and education of their children. No government, cabal of teachers, or politicized union can supplant that parental authority. Some parents choose to classically and traditionally educate their children through schools. That does not give schools, teachers, boards, or administrations to right to overreach their authority by spewing their own political ideology or twisted social values. Policies for transgender students implemented in states and school districts across the United States have sought to exclude parents from vital conversations about their child's education and wellbeing. This must STOP now. Those who violate the rights of parents to know and decide on what is being taught to their children must be held actionably accountable

Considering the transgender social propaganda being foisted on America's children, school officials must tell parents about their child's decision to use a new name and pronouns at school. This transparency is essential and is not negotiable. Parents must not be countermanded in their responsibility for the upbringing of their children and maintaining a stable and secure home environment. A faceless education bureaucracy that is failing in teaching critical reading, writing, math, and unbiased civics skills has no right, mandate, or capability to socially corrupt our children.

Thank you for your commitment to parents' rights in education. I urge you to implement the policies as written and restore the right and responsibility of parents to make the best decisions for their child.

Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

Sadly, Over the past two years, schools across the United States have excluded parents from vital matters regarding the education and wellbeing of their children.

The standard I look for in Virginia schools goes back to the fundamental thought that it is the parents responsibility to fulfill the following as a Christian: Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Genesis 18:19 (KJV)
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

Ephesians 6:4 (KJV)
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Former Governor Ralph Northam's 2021 Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools went against just that. Those policies said: "There are no regulations requiring school staff to notify a parent or guardian of a student's request to affirm their gender identity, and school staff should work with students to help them share the information with their family when they are ready to do so."

But your new Model Policies On the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools return to parents the right to direct their children's upbringing.

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

I want to express my support for the proposed model policies for parents and students as it relates to gender identity.

Schools should be required to receive parents explicit approval before any gender identity actions are taken at schools. If a student's parents do not approve of a school's gender identity suggestions, then the school CANNOT implement any actions.

The new Model Policies On the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools return to parents the right to direct their children's upbringing.

Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

Policies for transgender students implemented in states and school districts across the United States have sought to exclude parents from vital conversations about their child's education and wellbeing.

Former Governor Ralph Northam's administration chipped away at the rights of Virginia parents with its 2021 model policies for transgender students. Those policies explicitly stated that school officials were not always required to tell parents about their child's decision to use a new name and pronouns at school.

I'm writing in support of the Youngkin administration's new model policies, "On the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents In Virginia's Public Schools," which enshrine the rights of parents to direct the upbringing of their child while respecting all students across the Commonwealth.

Thank you for your commitment to parents' rights in education. I urge you to implement the policies as written and restore the right and responsibility of parents to make the best decisions for their child.

Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

As a practicing physician in Springfield for 50 years, I was terribly disappointed to learn that Gov. Northam, a pediatric neurologist, would allow his administration to suggest that the use of other than pronouns of one's biological sex should be allowed, or worse encouraged at school, or be kept from parents! I consider his actions an embarrassment to our profession.

To even consider a school aged child to be mature enough to consider sex change, or keep those feelings from the parents is an outrage.

Very Opposed

<!DOCTYPE html>

By making the existence of trans students a mandatory report to the parents, not only will queer students feel less safe in schools and have fewer support options, but transphobic and unsupportive parents can, have, and WILL retaliate and harm students. The child homelessness and suicide rates will rise. Parents should not have a right to demand to know every detail of a child's life and identity. Children deserve the same personal privacy as any adult. This is quite literally a matter of life and death for students.

Governor's New Virginia Parental Rights Bill

<!DOCTYPE html>

The Governor is spot on with this policy and has my FULL support!  He is restoring the authority and rights of parents which have been undermined by the democrats' policies.  It is so gratifying to see common sense returning to the executive branch in Virginia!
Parents have the ultimate say in what their children are doing, whether at home or in school.  Some (not all) educators have lost their minds in this woke indoctrination - trying to separate children from their parents.  It is hard to believe all the in roads that were made while conservatives were not paying attention.

Rights of the majority cannot be ignored in the attempt to appeaseZM a few special cases.

Hang tough and keep these common sense initiatives coming!


STRONGLY oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>As a clinical social worker I strongly oppose these new policies. Unless you work with transgender youth on a regular basis who have been rejected by their families, have had several suicide attempts and are grasping at whatever hope they can find, you cannot fully understand the scope of this problem and the inhumane implications of these new policies. I strongly urge the department of education to reject these new policies and do the right thing. </p>

Northam that allowed transgender students to use the facilities, pronouns, and names that match their gender identity instead of the sex they were assigned at birth, these new policies will PREVENT teachers from supporting trans and non-binary students in a number of ways and will detrimentally affect these young people who are already at increased risk of severe depression and suicide. It's absolutely appalling to go on here and read all the comments supporting this - it truly makes me sick to my stomach at how many people out there hold outdated ideas so far above the health and safety of our children. </p>

Strongly oppose these policies- they are designed to hurt transgender students

The policies proposed by Governor Youngkin and the Department of Education are dangerous to transgender youth. As the Blacksburg High School Pride Club president, many people have come to me because they’re afraid of what will happen. A lot of students are very passionate about these policies and for good reason. These proposals seek to tear away the support systems we have fought for.

In 2022, over half of transgender students considered suicide according to the Trevor Project.  1 in 5 transgender and non-binary youth actually attempted suicide, and BIPOC students are much more likely to attempt or consider suicide. With already unproportionately high suicide rates, these policies will hurt an already vulnerable population and in a way, literally kill children. Gender dysphoria, the discomfort caused by feeling that your biological sex doesn’t match your gender identity, is an actual mental health diagnosis. The DSM-5 explicitly states that “gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder.” Simply being transgender is not "wrong" or a symptom of mental health problems. However, the environment that transgender people live in and how they are treated by their peers can cause serious stress and mental health issues. These policies ignore mental health professionals’ advice. Calling students by their preferred name is shown to reduce suicide rates. How students are treated in school is incredibly important. For transgender students, just attending a school that accepts LGBTQ+ students can significantly reduce suicide rates. (https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2022/)

Governor Youngkin said these policies fall under the 2020 law that schools must adopt evidence-based policies to support transgender youth, which is untrue. The policies don’t follow mental health guidelines and weren’t intended to help transgender youth. Plus, Grimm v. Gloucester, a case that reached the Supreme Court, said that prohibiting a trans man from using the men’s restroom violated Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause. These policies are discriminatory and go against pre-existing federal and state rulings and legislation.

Many trans students who’ve fully transitioned or are transitioning aren’t out to everyone as transgender. These policies will out and humiliate them by forcing them to use bathrooms and facilities where they feel and seem out of place. The possible ways to enforce the bathroom policies, like having bathroom monitors or having a list of or labeling transgender students, are invasive. A student’s genitals are of no concern to school staff.

These policies will separate trans youth from their peers. It’s been proven that simply being around transgender people doesn’t make you transgender. Being transgender involves many biological and psychological factors. Living as a transgender person is stressful, and these policies will only make things worse.

These model policies will only hurt transgender students. Transgender students are faced with discrimination everywhere they go. I have witnessed this in my school system. It isn’t about politics or indoctrination; it’s about making sure that everyone feels safe in school. No one should be afraid to use the bathroom or tell someone their name.

Please do not pass these policies for the safety of Virginia's transgender students.


Strongly Support!!!

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly support Governor Youngkin's plan to ensure parents are in the loop on decisions involving their minor children. We've seen how out of control bureaucracies have harmed our children in VA when parents are intentionally kept out of the loop. The 2 sexual assaults of female students in girl's bathrooms by a male in a skirt was botched beyond belief by the school administration and the second assault could have been prevented if the administration had not hidden the fact and transferred this criminal to another school where the second incident occurred. This is reprehensible and cannot be allowed to continue. The proposal to ensure parents are in the loop is way overdue. It is well thought out and provides a reasonable avenue for parents of trans students to support their desires for a different identity if that is what the parents and students want and is done via legal means. There is so much permanent physical damage being done to students at ages when they don't really know what they want and may change their minds. This is a great step toward ensuring parents once again are kept in the loop on all issues involving their children in the school system. When children reach the age of consent, they can make their own decisions. While they are minors, their parents are rightfully the decision makers for their kids.


This will violently harm trans students.

<!DOCTYPE html>

I know what it is like to be a trans student in the public school system, and believe me when I say that this will get trans student KILLED. How can you claim to be in the best favor of students and support this legislation. I was the president of the gender-sexuality alliance (GSA) at my school and I knew several kids whom, if this legislation went through, would be violently abused if their parents found out that they were even questioning their gender. I don't care what your views on trans people are. If you hate us, fine. If you think we're wrong or misguided, sure, whatever. If you think we're abominations or affronts to God, okay! But just leave us alone! Let that be up to God. Not you.


Strongly support

<!DOCTYPE html>

Thank you for updating these policies to restore protections for basic parental rights and ensuring that parents are no longer cut out of the process—especially when it concerns how gender and sexuality issues are handled with our kids at school.


Strongly Oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly oppose this guidance.  Transgender students have the right to live and be in peace with who they are.


Trans and nonbinary youth deserve our support

<!DOCTYPE html>

My name is Meredith, I am a cis-gendered lesbian ally to the trans and nonbinary communities. I know both adults and children within the trans and nonbinary communities.

I am frankly flabbergasted that Virginia is considering reversing evidence-based best practices when it comes to supporting trans and nonbinary youth in school settings. I am opposed to Gov. Youngkin's draft policy and hope the VDOE will reject it.

The Virginia Values Act bans discrimination against LGBTQ people in places of public accommodation, which includes educational institutions like public schools. This means that schools must offer a safe and equal learning environment to all students, teachers, and staff, including those who are LGBTQ.

The current 2021 policies allow trans and non-binary youth to be safer from bulllying, harassment, and discrimination at the hands of their peers, teachers, and school staff and administrators. It also guarantees that supports are in place to allow all youth, including trans and non-binary youth, to have access to an equal educational experience.

The 2021 legislation does not cover transgender and non-binary students’ participation in athletics. Instead, this is governed by the Virginia High School League (VHSL), which allows transgender youth to play on teams consistent with their gender identity through a waiver process requiring certain documentation and hearings. Many middle schools follow VHSL guidelines.

The governor's proposed draft policies would reverse this work to the deterement of our children. Here are two stats I'd like to bring to your attention:

A 2020 peer-reviewed study by The Trevor Project’s researchers, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that transgender and nonbinary youth who experienced bathroom discrimination had more than 1.5 times the odds of attempting suicide in the past year compared to those who did not experience bathroom discrimination.

Additionally, transgender and nonbinary youth who reported having pronouns respected by all or most people in their lives attempted suicide at half the rate of those who did not have their pronouns respected.

We are literally talking about saving lives - the proposed legislation would undo policies that are working for our trans and nonbinary youth. I don't understand why anyone feels reversing evidence-based best practice policies is worth doing. The cis-gendered community should not feel threatened by the application of inclusive and equitable practices which support NB/T youth. No one loses when we treat everyone with dignity!

I oppose the draft policy and want the VDOE to reject it.


STRONGLY OPPOSE

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly oppose this unethical bill. The lives and mental health of our children are at stake. Trans rights are human rights!


Supporting ALL Children

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>All children need support - especially at school where they spend the majority of their time and where their personalities and opinions are developed.  The phrase "parental rights" is now code for discrimination against those I don't agree with.  Codifying a policy that is directed against a group of students does nothing to protect students or parents outside that group.  Parents can still teach whatever hate and vileness they want outside of the classroom.  That's on them.  But for a government to ostracize and disrespect students as a matter of policy is shameful.  How our society has gotten to a point where some believe that supporting others somehow infringes on their own rights is beyond me.  We should be taught to love and not judge, and adults, especially teachers, need to set the example.  Imagine being one of the students negatively impacted by this policy because some other parent disagrees with how they live.  The beauty of this country is that we get to make choices for ourselves.  Hateful people will continue to be hateful - they don't need this policy to do so.  And if your religion teaches you that you need to discriminate against children, I guarantee that you're doing it wrong.  </p>


Thank you!

-Require them to "out" students to their parents

-Prohibit them from using student's selected pronouns and names

First they came for the trans kids......

We must stick up for those most vulnerable among us. Virginia is better than this.

<!DOCTYPE html>

The care of our children must be in the hands of their parents and not the school system.


Me personally i don't think it is nice to that to transgender people

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I think it would be rude. Please reconcider your choice, if people want to do something and they regret it later that is their fault. Transgender people would proablly be upset. You should really think of others feelings. </p>


Standing for Parent's Rights

<!DOCTYPE html>

Thank you, Youngkin, for supporting parent's rights and protecting the innocence of children. Stand strong against the bullies!


A Teacher in Agreement

<!DOCTYPE html>

I am a former Fairfax County Public Schools teacher and parents, and I support these policies 100%. Our female students deserve privacy in locker rooms, and the right to perform athletically against other biological females, not males. Title IX should be ensuring this right. Parents must remain a central part of all curriculum decisions. They absolutely need to be involved regarding ANYTHING occurring at school that concerns their child. I'm still a teacher, but in Southern Virginia now, and it's a breath of fresh air down here in that the focus is on academics and not who can out-woke the other counties. I couldn't tolerate teaching any longer in Fairfax County due to their new grading policies and the lack of accountability with students. I'm just grateful my kids were the product of FCPS schools ten years ago!


You are hurting children

<!DOCTYPE html>

Transgender people are just trying to live their lives. This policy will only cause in increase in  depression and suicide rates in high school students across the state. Ask the school divisions what they think is best rather than attempting to assume.

This policy will kill people.


Strongly Oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

As a public school parent and as a school counselor, I find these recommendations egregious and misleading.  While this guidance claims to be about parental rights, really it's only about giving fearful and judgmental parents, who dismiss others' existences and choose to avoid difficult conversations about acceptance with their own children, the loudest voice. This also  takes away the rights of parents who have children that may be not be gender conforming and their ability to feel safe and included at school - so again, it doesn't become about equal rights for ALL parents.   I continue to be astounded that people are getting involved in lives that have no impact on their own; if you have values or beliefs for your own home, have conversations there and recognize that others think differently.  Public schools are for everyone. Everyone.

All anyone in schools are doing is welcoming all students and making sure they feel safe and valued.  Our trans students and LGBTQIA+ students are twice as likely to be bullied at school (32% reported vs. 17% of self-identified straight peers) and online by peers (26% v. 14%).   https://www.stopbullying.gov/bullying/lgbtq

Anyone who believes that children are making choices to be harassed and hated, rather than just trying to be who they are in the world, is cruel.  If you are afraid of your children being influenced, then what you're really afraid of is that they feel different, too; strong knowledge of oneself and one's values and beliefs won't be changed by classmates just trying to get through school.

Please reconsider this nonsensical stunt for religious-backed leaders and families.  Frankly, I don't know how this policy doesn't violate Title IX.  Keep our schools safe, for everyone.


Strongly oppose these discriminatory actions

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I do not understand how people decide to go after children.  This measure makes it more difficult for people who are transgender for politics.  This is not about parent's rights.  It's about supporting young people when they find themselves having to make difficult decisions.  Parents can help, but some parents won't.  </p>


Strongly oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

As a parent, I strongly oppose this model policy because it would make my children's schools less safe and inject state politics into the crucial educational relationship between a teacher and student. The policy addresses an extremely vulnerable population -- i.e. transgender and gender non-conforming children who are not safe or supported in their homes -- and articulates new requirements that would put those children at even greater risk of physical abuse, homelessness, mental health problems, self-harm, and suicide. It also would impose new and unworkable requirements on school staff, who are already overworked and weighing many reasons to leave the profession. As a parent, I take responsibility for cultivating a healthy and trusting relationship with my own children, and I believe they have the right to attend fully-staffed public schools where teachers use their professional judgment to help each student thrive in school as much as possible. This model policy would impede that educational culture, and it comes across as bullying a vulnerable population for political reasons.


I agree- but what about the children suffering abuse?

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I agree with the policy change.  But is anyone considering that, for at least older children, abuse or sexual abuse is behind many who are questioning their sexuality.  With at least 6 out of 10 girls being abused and 4 out of 10 boys (latest stats I have), the sexual abuse issue must be contributing to this - including those advocates for the LGBQT+ people.  </p>


Strongly oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

This proposal has tragic consequences since research shows that a young LGBTQ American attempts suicide every  45 seconds.

These suicide attempts can be mitigated when the young person is respected and affirmed within a safe school environment and has access to people they can trust.

Please do not move ahead with this fundamentally wrong proposal that will cause alienation, pain, suffering and potentially suicide among vulnerable Virgininians.


If trans is real/ biological, it is a birth defect, they should have special sports just for them

Support the trans disability w their own special bathroom and sports

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support trans to have their own special stuff. Maybe some parenting that was woke would have avoided these challenges.


STRONGLY SUPPORT

<!DOCTYPE html>

I love this change. It gives parents back their rights provided under the US Constitution while also protecting the diversity of students. Although some see this negatively, nowhere in here is there any indication that transgender students will be negatively impacted by this change. The school is required now to work WITH parents to ensure fair treatment of all children. The only thing being taken away is the school's ability to treat transgender students behind parents' backs. This ensures visibility and communication between schools and parents which is a GOOD thing and never should have been put at risk in the fist place by the previous policy. GREAT JOB YOUNGKIN!!


Protect Transgender Students

<!DOCTYPE html>

I am shocked and disheartened that our state could fall to such lows as to give schools the opportunity to mistreat students by misgendering them. It's a poor reflection on the values of the people, and a dangerous situation for young people who only wish to live in a safe and healthy environment. Hate has been allowed to thrive and Virginia will not stand for it.

STRONGLY OPPOSE!!!

If a child has the support of their parents, then their parents will be first to know about name changes, new pronouns, and any other changes. The children who do not have that support are the children who will be hurt with this legislation. If theirparents do not know it could be because their parents are not supportive of their children's essence of identity. Therefore, these children may not be safe in families where their feelings and identity are at odds with parental values. Transgenderchildren are already at higher risk for mental health issues, including suicide. Please don't increase their burden by putting them at risk of family abuse, being put out of their homes, or ridiculed and shamed by family members.

How Many More...

<!DOCTYPE html>

Of our children are we going to lose to suicide because we don't support them? Contrary to popular belief these individuals didn't wake up one morning and think, "How can I make my life more miserable? Oh, I know, pretend I have confusion with my gender/sexual preference so that people who have no idea what they're talking about can berate me and make me feel like I'm not normal." This is biological. It is a terrible struggle for them and we need to support them any way we can. We all need to educate ourselves more on this and stop giving these kids a hard time. If you're offended, scared, or just a complete jack rabbit, talk to some these kids. Get to know them and let them help you understand what they're going through. I don't know about you but I've seen enough suicides from this struggle and just one more would be too many. Namaste.

Thank you for protecting parents rights!

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Thank you Gov. Younkin for protecting parents right against all this woke nonsense regarding transgender ian, crazy pronouns, keeping critical medical information away from parents, and usurping the parents control over their children. Young children are not mature enough to make decisions about changing their gender or other similar medical issues.  please force school boards, teachers unions, and school staff to concentrate on teaching students reading, writing, math, civics, phys ed, foreign languages, and the rest of the traditional curriculum. I believe that the educational establishment has latched onto leftist activism because they cannot teach the traditional curriculum anymore.       Thank you for letting me voice my opinion in this new forum. This is the first time I’ve answered a survey on my cell phone. I want my tax dollars spent on educating Virginia’s children so they can get well-paying jobs when they graduate high school.  Thank you again.  </p>

This idea for a law limited children's mind is stupid. Why make a child who is uncomfortable with their assigned gender stay like that? If they're not comfortable, let them be comfortable instead of making them become even more uncomfortable.

Let children make decisions on their own.


Behind this 100%

<!DOCTYPE html>

Stop the madness... Groomers in politics and education. It is sad when a comment from Putin makes more sense than comments from Americans.  He said (paraphrased), "we let our kids grow up and then let them decide".    These are children who are not fully developed mentally. The parent is ultimately responsible for their children NOT the govt.  Socialism starts when the govt disempowers parents. Stop the madness and leave the kids alone!

Guidance document/Model Policies for the Treatment of transgender students in Virginia public school


I Strongly Oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

This policy says it's about parents rights - thay they should decide what their child is called in school, and therefore permission is required for a change in name and pronouns. Unless they are the parent to a trans child they support, then it's the the teachers first amendment right to bully kids that matters. (And it is bullying, cis or trans - something the older generation might understand: if a sports coach is calling a group of boys ladies or girls, it's meant to be belittling)

However, if a teacher wants to support a trans child by using their preferred name and pronouns well _now_ the parent's rights matter, not the teacher's free speach. Because the policy says teachers cant use these without parental permission.

This policy blatantly doesn't work for the free speach of teachers or the rights of parents. It only supports the rights of those who want to make children's lives more difficult.

Protect trans lives; do not implement this discriminatory policy.


STRONGLY SUPPORT!!!

<!DOCTYPE html>

Thank you so much for adopting these policies restoring and acknowledging basic parental rights and basic rights of ALL children!  We can accommodate children with special needs as we always have without removing protections for and endangering the others.

During the Zoom Call with Governor Northam's wife, I simply asked the question, "What protections will there be to ensure that predators won't take advantage of this new policy to harm the children?"  The only response I received was a crude and snarky, "Kids just want to pee, wash their hands, and get out."  What was the result?  We saw this very thing happen in multiple locations with young women being abused and traumatized.  They don't care about all children.

The opposition says children should be able to make their own decisions without the consent and/or involvement of their parents or another adult when, in reality, adults are involved in guiding and influencing the children; the only adults that were cut out were the parents, and teachers and administrators usurped the role of parents!  And, with rare exception, they will never love those children more than the children's parents, whether they agree or not.

We've seen a pattern where criminals and predators are being protected and shielded, and average citizens are being penalized, marginalized, demonized, slandered, and unjustly persecuted.

I whole-heartedly support: 1. removing the language that separated children from their parents; 2. protecting the freedom of speech, thought, and religion per our Constitution; 3. respecting the rights of parents to determine how to bring up their own children; 4. respecting the right of children to grow up and make decisions for themselves when they are old enough and mature enough to do so; 5. protecting ALL students; not sacrificing some for the sake of others.  6. clearly defining what are limits the of the public schools, teachers, and administrators roles and authorities.


Do not support this change

<!DOCTYPE html>

Why change a policy that is really doing no harm, and is certainly making life easier for some of our most vulnerable students? I don't understand the persecution of our transgender and gay population. People are people and should have the freedom to decide what suits their needs in this regard. People have no control over how they are made. Why not trust them to know what is best and leave them alone? Why does it matter?

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I have seen the broken-hearted teens who have tried to be honest with their parents about their uncertainties about their assigned sex.  I have seen teens on the street because their “caring” parents could not accept their child’s uncertainty.  Do not take away a child’s support system by requiring teachers to turn away hurting and vulnerable young people.  Since so many children no longer have adults, such as ministers, in whom they can confide, please don’t force the children to find someone on the street with whom to share their concerns.  Not all parents are as loving and caring as this new directive supposes.  </p>

Support Gov. Youngkin's changes in educational environment

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly support Governor Youngkin's changes in the horrible policy put out by the Virginia Board of Education concerning the transgender issues.  I was horrified at what was being forced on us and our children.  Sadly, our school board in Pulaski County went right along with what was originally written.  How thankful I am that the Governor is protecting our vulnerable children and us as parents and grandparents by his changes.  This is a real issue.  My 6 year old grandson in first grade this year came home in the first days of school saying there was a "boy-girl" in his classroom.  We are all being affected, even little children.  Thank you, Governor Youngkin!

Very Strongly Agree

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>It is reassuring to think the school system may be heading back in the direction it should be. In the current state of things, I would never send my child to public schools. To think these agendas have been pushed onto children this long is disheartening enough. I pray that this moves forward and we get back to providing children education at schools versus letting them decide what gender they are that day. </p>


Please continue to protect out children.

Youngkin Policies

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support all of Youngkin’s policies—especially parental rights


Strongly support

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support the 2022 policy. Public schools need to stay in their lane and and respect parental boundaries.


Oppose these deeply troubling regulations

<!DOCTYPE html>

Much of what I see in defense of this is pointing out that children don't belong to the state.  Well, they don't 'belong' to their parents either.  They are individuals who belong to themselves, and while parents have many rights and responsibilities, parental rights are not sacrosanct.  Protection of the minor's right to determine their own identity and the course of their life has to be a part of this., especially when we are talking about teens.

I'd also like to point out that far from affirming parental rights, these rules deny my parental rights to have my child use the restroom that conforms to his gender identity and be called by the name and pronouns of his choice without jumping through legal hoops that parents of gender conforming children do not have to jump through.

This is hateful, antitrans bigotry and does not belong in our schools.


Teacher opposes new model policy

<!DOCTYPE html>

Since Gov Youngkin's new model policy was announced, I have witnessed an increase in bullying and verbal attacks on trans students in my high school.  Whether he meant to do so or not, his policy provides legitimacy for hate.

Schools should be focused on student learning.  That is difficult when liberals mandate that we support social change, and also when conservatives mandate that we oppose social change.  If the governor really wants to improve schools he should focus on funding, teacher shortages, revisions to out-dated curricula, etc and stop big government mandates on social issues.

<!DOCTYPE html>

I am a student in VBCPS. I am also part of the LGBTQIA+ community, specifically I identify as a demi-girl. I OPPOSE the policies proposed by Glenn Youngkin’s administration. I OPPOSE the 2022 model policies. Previously, the 2020-2021 model policies stated “access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that correspond to a student’s gender identity shall be available to all students.” it also stated that “Schools shall allow students to assert a name and gender pronouns that reflect their gender identity without any substantiating evidence. School staff shall, at the request of a student or parent, address the student using the asserted name and pronoun that correspond to their gender identity." As also stated in the 2020-2021 model policies, “chosen name used in more contexts was associated with lower depression, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behavior” (Russell, Pollitt, Li, & Grossman, 2018). Thus, school staff should be prepared to support the safety and welfare of transgender students when their families are not affirming." as well as "Whenever school personnel suspects or becomes aware that a student is being abused, neglected, or at risk of abuse or neglect by their parent due to their transgender identity, they should report those concerns to Child Protective Services immediately." These policies that were previously enstated are crucial to the physical and mental wellbeing of each and every transgender student. These are children and teens, that are being put at risk in non-accepting and/or abusive households. These policies are extremely important, and the 2022 model policies intend to suppress the 2020-2021 model policies. As stated in the proposed 2022 model policies, "personnel shall refer to each student using only (i) the name that appears in the student’s official record, or (ii) if the student prefers, using any nickname commonly associated with the name that appears in the student’s official record." and "personnel shall refer to each student using only the pronouns appropriate to the sex appearing in the student’s official record - that is, male pronouns for a student whose legal sex is male, and female pronouns for a student whose legal sex is female." While to a cisgender person these policies may not seem cruel, it is dehumanizing to be referred to with pronouns and/or names that align with one's gender identity. "[School Division] personnel shall refer to a student by a name other than one in the student’s official record, or by pronouns other than those appropriate to the sex appearing in the student’s official record, only if an eligible student or a student’s parent has instructed [School Division] in writing that such other name or other pronouns be used" Many trans students cannot come out to their parents because it could put them in a dangerous situation. Transgender students will suffer silently, and all we want is to express ourselves safely. The 2022 model policies prevent that. Thank you.


In Full Support…Long Overdue - VDOE Model Policy

<!DOCTYPE html>

What a breath of fresh air as common sense and a renewed commitment to parental rights rises to rule the day!  Those in positions of authority daily standing before our children must not be allowed to impose their sexual predilections in the classroom, either directly or by subtle suggestion.  Discussions of gender, casting doubt on what God has made, or presentation of an ideology suggesting one’s merit or position is dictated by the color of skin must be stopped.  Teach…do not indoctrinate.
