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.

Regards,

I Support Governor Youngkin

<!DOCTYPE html>

The fact that anything could be kept from a parent in our state is unacceptable.  Parents, above anyone else, have their children's best interests in mind.  I support Gov Youngkin wholeheartedly.


Support this policy

<!DOCTYPE html>

I believe that this policy should replace the one endorsed by Northam. Parents need to be involved, that's the problem when so much today! Realizing that there are "not so good" parents, there should be support services available to students who truly don't feel safe. And there are.  There should not be secrets kept from parents.

This section of the model policy:

At the request of parents, the [School Division] should designate an administrator or counselor to speak, together with the student’s parents, with any student regarding questions pertaining to gender.

does not suggest that a teacher, administrator, etc will voluntarily "out" a student. If the parents are concerned and asked those people, then they should be told and not lied to. If parents don't ask, then the teachers, administrators, etc should not interfere. Live and let live, but we shouldn't change the norms of the world for a special interest group. There will always be norms. We can make people with gender dysphoria or gender nonconformity feel more "normal" by accepting them and everyone should always be treated with respect.   And by accepting them, it does not mean they get to change the norms. Realize that we all have differences and there will always be differences. Choose a gender if you wish and you do you, but don't expect the entire world to pivot and start celebrating a new found "liberation."

Go to school, focus on academics, be a nice and kind human who can agree to disagree, and co-exist.


SUPPORT! Protect parents rights and children's SAFETY against the woke brainwashing cult

<!DOCTYPE html>

Who in the world thinks it is normal to change children's gender just because they feel like it? Expose children to sexuality? Write pornographic books to children? These are demented criminals. Open a cult if you like, but this is not acceptable in ANY education center, college or K-12 schools. Protect parent's rights and the childhood of Virginian's.


Do not let this pass for the love of all that is holy.

Jack Lawton, Student of VA Public Schools

<!DOCTYPE html>

This continues to restrict students' fundamental rights, and though it intends to help it harms them in many ways. Forcing schoolteachers and counselors to out students as well as undoing years upon years of affirming work. I beg of you to please do not let this pass.


this transphobic nonsense needs to stay out of Virginia

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>honestly this is so sad to see even being considered an option and I'm so glad that ill be able to move out of this state soon. I just really need you all to not screw over my last year of high school. People are people and the way our governor thinks about trans people is honestly frightening this proposal has nothing to do with helping trans people it just hurts us and if you cant see that you are a blind follower to the machine that is politics. If you for some awful reason actually understand this proposal and support it you are blatantly transphobic and you should do some internal thinking to find out what made you the way you are. People need to stop hating on one another for their differences. </p>


SUPPORT! Protect Parents rights, education, academics, girls sports, women's right +SCIENCE

<!DOCTYPE html>

Everyday this woke ideology comes with yet another insult to society. It needs to be stopped ASAP.


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.

Respectful Opposition to the 2022 Guidelines

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>All children deserve equal access to quality education. Protect trans kids! These are children. </p>


Oppose proposed 2022 model policies for treatment of trans students in public schools

Liz C. (a parent, grandparent, and educator)

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I'm concerned about the proposed 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents in Virginia’s Public Schools (the “2022 Model Policies”). I believe they are a violation of state and federal law. Additionally, as a social worker and educator, I uphold the inherent dignity and worth of every person. I think these policies would create environments that are unsafe and unsupportive for trans youth, a group that is already at risk for harassment and discrimination. As a community, we should never put ideology above the well-being of each member of our community. It doesn't harm a cisgender student to hear a teacher refer to a trans student by their preferred name or pronoun. Contrary, it harms a trans student to misgender them.  As a person who has worked in the interpersonal violence field for 40 years, I support equality and respect for all individuals and therefore I strongly oppose the 2022 model policies. </p>


I support this policy. Parents rights in education

<!DOCTYPE html>

If an ideology is quietly, secretly making its way into school and children's books and classrooms without parent's knowledge, that's enough to tell it is wrong. Protect our children from sexual ideology that is infecting our schools from k-12 till graduate schools. Brainwashing student. Creating unreasonable, dumb activists that are destroying the world's most precious treasures: priceless art pieces and CHILDREN, based on lies they have been feed for years. Trans is a cult, and ideology, has to be out of children's lives .

Dr Jeremi Carswell, Dir. of Boston Children's Hospital; consequences should not be hid from parents

<!DOCTYPE html>

Dr Carswell admitted recently that puberty blockers cause infertility and are given out to children "like candy" to a "skyrocketing" number of new patients.  THAT is ok but mom and dad not allowed to determine how they raise their own child?  These same children the progressives claim to care about?  There are serious side effects to puberty blockers as well: dangerous surge of spinal fluid pressure in the brain for some children.  The build up can cause headaches, nausea, double vision, and even permanent vision loss.  If that kind of risk is there and the parents will have to care for the child with said side effects they sure as well better be able to make the decisison whether to allow puberty blockers in the first place. Come on, these kids are confused.  Some will decide theyre gay and some will grow out of it.  Let those who don't make their own decisions when they turn 18.  WHY the push on such young children?  Thanks Younkin.  I support.

Protect Trans Youth and Support Their Parents' Rights!

A Person of Faith Who Wants to Keep Trans Kids Safe

<!DOCTYPE html>

I am the parent of a nonbinary student who by the grace of God was born into a family that was able to love and affirm them as God created them. As such, I am concerned that the state's proposed Model Policy is based not on what is best for Virginia's transgender and nonbinary youths and their parents, but instead is intended to score political points around an issue that excites those of a certain theological bent. I also find it hypocritical to claim to advance so-called "Parents' Rights" while stripping many parents of their rights to have their children attend schools which keep them safe as they question, understand, and live out the gender identities that are innately theirs.

Issues around transgender identity are complex and require nuance. Stripping trans youth of the ability to use a bathroom that aligns with their gender identity and allowing staff and students to bully them by misgendering them are in no way nuanced, and are in fact extremely harmful to those youth. Your model policy strips trans youth in Virginia of any sense of safety at school. Transgender kids are among the most vulnerable to bullying and at the highest risk for suicide. Your policy will increase the risk of both.

I urge you and the Department of Education to consult with advocacy groups, medical professionals, and mental health professionals to arrive at a compromise that allows for Virginia schools to remain safe and encouraging to all students, not just those whose parents hold a certain worldview.


Protect Emotionally Vulnerable Children and Parental Rights!

Dear Virginia Dept of Education,

Schools should never secretly socially transition students and keep the child's new name, pronouns and gender identities from parents. I am pleased and relieved that the Virginia Department of Education's revised model policies support parental rights and ensure that school employees don't cut parents out of critical decisions for their children.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) issued "model policies" in 2021 that encouraged every school district in Virginia to hide a child's new gender identity from parents who choose to affirm the child's biological sex. Under Governor Youngkin's leadership, the VDOE's revised policies make it clear that all children should be valued and parents' rights and beliefs should be respected. The 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for all Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools keep parents involved in major decisions in their children's lives.

The 2021 VDOE "model policies" encouraged schools to create "a plan (that) may include addressing the student at school with their name and pronoun consistent with their gender identity while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when communicating with parents or guardians."

I strongly support the revised policies that end this practice. Virginia schools should not drive a wedge between parents and their emotionally vulnerable children. Virginia school districts, including those who have already communicated their plans to ignore the 2022 revised model policies, should put an end to secret Gender Support Plans now.

SUPPPORT! Wokeness is causing suicide rate to rise and sexual abuse of children to increase

Respect family, honor what many have died to build, Reality must prevail

<!DOCTYPE html>

Why can't our children have a normal childhood? It is a crime to groom kids and talk about their genitals, sexuality, and confusing terms of a disrespectful ideology.

Preserve children. No child is born in the wrong body. Stop trying to influence children to an ideology when parents have trusted the school and can not protect their children from being brainwashed. Trans and LGBT has no place near children, any teacher who advocates it has to be fired. They are a danger to kids. If you  Listen to @gaysagainstgroomers and the de-transitioning youth, you will put an end to the Woke nonsense in Virginia. This is nothing but destruction and disturbance to people trying to go on with their lives.

Trans life does not depend on the destruction of everybody's life and children's body and future.


WAKE UP FAUQUIER COUNTY - remove Guzman before she destroys you. YES to YOUNGKIN

<!DOCTYPE html>

Elizabeth Guzman (D-Fauquier Cty) said she will introduce legislation to have parents criminally prosecuted if they don't affirm child as transgender, as applicable.  "It could be a felony, it could be a misdemeanor, but we know that CPS charges could harm your employment, could harm their education, because nowadays many people do a CPS database search before offering employment." She's working with Amy Cannava who has actually boasted, I will not deny the fact that I have put parents in their place in my office or at school."  It is not her PLACE to put parents in their place.  Doesn't even sound like she cares about the kids, just bullying her agenda and what SHE thinks is right.  She's the one Guzman is partnering with.   Remove her from influence and power, Fauquier Cty.


Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

The state should not encourage sex changes behind parents' backs. Female athletes should not have to compete with or share locker rooms with male-to-female transgender students. Parents objecting to school policies on these matters should be heard with respect, and not be treated as bigots, criminals, or terrorists.

Strongly SUPPORT

<!DOCTYPE html>

What has happened to math and science and reading/literature and writing?  Why can't teachers simply TEACH?  The few parents who don't support a child = it doesn't mean they don't love them.  Noone - not government or school or that crazy Elizabeth Guzman who wants parents to be CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED?!  THAT IS MENTALLY INSANE.


I strongly support Youngkin and the rights of parents and children!

<!DOCTYPE html>

This policy corrects the unjust policy that was in place. Parents have the God-given right to raise their children without interference, coercion, and mental and physical abuse by school staff. Thank you, Governor Youngkin!


Model Policies

I oppose these policies!

I support this policy. Restore Reality and Parents rights to reduce further damage of children

a democrat who have had enough with the nonsense delusional woke ideology

<!DOCTYPE html>

This ideology is damaging our children, our families, and everybody's future. Preserve the innocence of children. If parents want to "educate" their children in woeness, that's their problem, it is just an ideology. Schools have to preserve the innocence of children and block this ideology which have made its way into schools with the disguise of promoting "kindness" when in reality they are anything but kind. Now they disrespect and want to destroy what humanity have built and discovered. In the last 10 years they came up with how everything is wrong and they are right. This is called cult, ideology, delusion!


Trans aren't all auto-suicidal so I SUPPORT

<!DOCTYPE html>

The statement that all trans are suicidal if not supported is a lie.  They have trans advocates who come around them and encourage them to SAY THAT so they get treated more gently and are accommodated.  We don't support anorexics or bulemics: they are slowly killing themselves every day.  Those same trans advocates walk away from those confused kids who have second thoughts or regret transitioning; why would we want to give them more power?  The kid with second thoughts who is abandoned is more likely to commit suicide.  No school employee and no kid should be able to hide this info from a parent.  The previous Northam policy was ridiculous.


Common Sense Proposal - I Support the 2022 Guidance Document

<!DOCTYPE html>

The 2022 Guidance Document uses basic common sense reasoning, along with pertinent existing laws. The few divergent court holdings that are listed in Section VI are simply judges attempting to create Judicial Decision Laws, and could/should be overturned when they disagree with legislative laws. This new guidance removes from teachers and school administrators the onus of judgement and obligation of enforcing rules that contradict their personal beliefs. It also recognizes the rights and responsibilities of parents for the guidance of their children and for their children's safety.

2022 Model Policies on the Primary Dignity and Respect to all Students and Parents...

<!DOCTYPE html>

I, Ellen Yackel, having been an advocate for individuals who have experienced domestic and sexual violence and an advocate for building communities with the resilience to prevent the likelihood of such violence for over twenty-five years in the state of Virginia, am opposed to the 2022 Model Policies on the Primary Dignity and Respect to all Students and Parents in Virginia Public Schools. These guidelines not only violate federal and state laws, but also deny the rights of students, parents, and school personnel to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of every child.

Building a community that is less likely to experience violence requires that the community be safe and supportive of all its citizens. Children have the right to learn in an environment that is safe and supportive and that respects their inherent dignity and worth as a child. However the 2022 Model Policies do not support these rights, and in fact, send an incredibly dangerous message that some students do not belong and should not exist.

A non-violent future depends on children who have had the support and guidance necessary to safely learn about themselves and their places in the world. Studies have consistently shown that policies like these result in more frequent and escalating harassment, discrimination, and physical violence toward trans and non-binary students. These policies also lead to significantly higher rates of depression, suicidal ideations and suicide attempts relative to cisgender students. The consistent misgendering of a student has a profoundly negative impact on their ability to learn in a classroom, whereas the simple act of consistently using a student's affirmed name can significantly reduce suicidal behavior and suicidal ideations. (National Institute  of Health and Journal of Adolescent Health.)

According to a June 19 article in the Journal of Pediatrics, denying trans and non-binary students from using facilities that match their identity increases the prevalence of sexual assault victimization. When youth experience high rates of sexual assault, peer victimization, and suicide, we are not protecting their rights to be safe from violence.

As an advocate, I recognize that sexual and domestic violence is linked to other forms of harm and that supporting equality and respect for ALL people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, is integral to creating a community and a Virginia that is free from domestic and sexual violence.

Based on the evidence we have available to us, the 2022 Model Policies will significantly and irreparably harm students and families in Virginia and will interfere with the violence prevention efforts that the state of Virginia has worked hard to put in place in our communities. For these reasons, I strongly oppose the adoption of these dangerous policies

Sincerely,

Patricia Ellen Yackel


Restore Parents' Rights in Education!

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,

Former Governor Ralph Northam's administration eroded 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 or 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 new policies as written and restore the natural right and responsibility of parents to make the best decisions for their children.

Dear Virginia Department of Education Officials,<br /><br />Former Governor Ralph Northam's administration eroded 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 or pronouns at school. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Thank you for your commitment to parents' rights in education. I urge you to implement the new policies as written and restore the natural right and responsibility of parents to make the best decisions for their children.<br /><br />Regards,

Dear Virginia Dept of Education,

Schools should never secretly socially transition students and keep the child's new name, pronouns and gender identities from parents. I am pleased and relieved that the Virginia Department of Education's revised model policies support parental rights and ensure that school employees don't cut parents out of critical decisions for their children.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) issued "model policies" in 2021 that encouraged every school district in Virginia to hide a child's new gender identity from parents who choose to affirm the child's biological sex. Under Governor Youngkin's leadership, the VDOE's revised policies make it clear that all children should be valued and parents' rights and beliefs should be respected. The 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for all Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools keep parents involved in major decisions in their children's lives.

The 2021 VDOE "model policies" encouraged schools to create "a plan (that) may include addressing the student at school with their name and pronoun consistent with their gender identity while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when communicating with parents or guardians."

I strongly support the revised policies that end this practice. Virginia schools should not drive a wedge between parents and their emotionally vulnerable children. Virginia school districts, including those who have already communicated their plans to ignore the 2022 revised model policies, should put an end to secret Gender Support Plans now.

Sincerely,

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.

STRONGLY SUPPORT NEW GUIDANCE

<!DOCTYPE html>

Thank you Governor Youngkin for returning some control to parents. From the Family Life Education (FLE) curriculum introduced in KINDERGARTEN to former governor Northam's agenda-setting in the area of "gender identity", I have questioned whether I should send my three elementary-aged children to Fairfax County Public Schools, but cannot afford private school. I'm astonished at what is permitted and encouraged, how the teachers and administrators are expected to conform, and the sway that special interests hold over what is taught to my children. I'm extremely uncomfortable with former governor Northam's policies on this topic, but feel I have no avenue to voice my opinion because my school board representative has diverging views. Parents who disagree with former governor Northam's policies are afraid to speak up for fear of being labeled bigots, but what goes on in the schools is truly concerning. As anecdotal evidence, non-minority students at Lake Braddock Secondary School (LBSS) in Fairfax County are labeled racists, for no reason other than being non-minority. "Trans" students at LBSS throw fits because they change their identity daily and the teachers can't keep up. We spend so much time and effort placating children on topics they're not mature enough to understand. It is distracting from the real purpose of school -- education. Please continue your efforts to stand up for parents. We deserve a say. The idea that my children would have to share bathrooms or locker rooms with children of the opposite sex is disturbing. Thank you for hearing us.

Support trans students - reduce the teen suicide rate

<!DOCTYPE html>

As an educator of many LGBTQ+ students, this policy concerns me greatly. Not only does scaling back trans rights constitute a massive step backwards in the rights of students and educators, but this does massive harm to our students' mental health. A 2022 study revealed that, on average, trans and gender nonconforming adolescents were 7.6 times more likely than cisgender students to attempt suicide. A lot of this alarming rate can be attributed to lack of acceptance, bullying, and systemic oppression. While it is important to provide them mental health support too, it's also important to not become another one of their bullies and to not contribute to that system of oppression.

Trans rights are human rights. Our students are people who deserve dignity, respect, and support--and even if the gender nonconformity turns out to be a mere phase in the path toward self-understanding, it costs educators, parents, and peers nothing to be supportive. Please don't go through with this guidance.


I support mental health care for suicidal kids- not new pronouns and a pass to the little girls room

<!DOCTYPE html>

Stop encouraging and pushing this nonsense onto children. Let them grow up and become healthy adults. If it is too late and you have already confused them to the point of suicide, then get them to the doctor!


I Support--Children need the guidance and supervision of their parents

<!DOCTYPE html>

I always believed, when my children were attending school, that teachers, no matter how good their intentions were, were only concerned with the progress and behavior of my child during that given school year.  They were not thinking as a parent does--where will my child be in 10 years or 20 years, after school is done and they are in adult life?  Which decisions that he/she makes now will give him/her the most satisfaction later in life?  Schools are not concerned with this. They do not love them. They are grappling with the present day job of controlling and teaching the children.  It is unconscionable that schools would do or say ANYTHING to children without informing the parents, something which I personally know is happening in Virginia schools.

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.

The Muslim Community 100% Supports- please read and help governor.

<!DOCTYPE html>

For some of our daughters and women in our Muslim community, wearing a hijab is the core culture and a strict religious practice. Our daughters have been observing this for modesty and privacy, and they do not feel safe changing their clothes in the presence of biological males, since they remove their hijab only in the presence of other females.

We demand segregated washrooms, change rooms and field trip accommodation for biological males and females use be clearly written in details in the Code of Conduct and strictly implemented to ensure safety for all school students. Our daughters must not only be safe but feel physically, emotionally, and morally safe when they use washrooms, change rooms and field trip accommodation


I wholeheartedly support

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I wholeheartedly support parental rights in Virginia and throughout our country! The integrity of Women/girls sports need to be preserved and protected. Bathrooms and locker rooms need to be  assigned according to gender at birth. Gender can be decided when these children are adults, not before!   Children are the responsibility of and are under the authority of their parents, NOT the government!!  Thank you Governor Youngkin for bringing some common sense back in our schools and state, and for recognizing and enforcing parental rights! </p>


Strongly support

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support Governor Youngkin's Model Policy for four reasons. First, allowing employees of state run schools to call students by other than their legal names, is to give those same employees extra legal rights. By establishing a 'protected class' of actions for certain state employees (allowing them to call minors by names other than their legal names etc.) existing school board ‘policies’, de facto, grant these employees extra-legal rights.

Secondly, school employees should not be put in the position of dissembling to parents as regards the actions of minor children. By putting state officials (schools and their employees) in a role in which they are required to deliberately obscure the actions of other faculty, staff and/or minor children invites abuse. In all actions democratic government, transparency has ever been the necessary disinfectant to check the temptations of human nature.

Next, by what measure do we judge the success of co-curricular activism? A policy which seeks to hide the actions of minors, teachers and administrators can not be held accountable by parents or the public.

It has been the task of the public school system to educate children in the academic disciplines until the time they reach majority. If school employees are answerable to taxpayers who pay their salaries and to the parents who entrust their children to them how shall we measure the outcome(s) of this policy shift? Tests measure the performance of teachers and schools.  By what metric shall we judge the extra time, resources and actions expended by teachers and administrators pursuing this agenda? As their employers, how shall we measure the success or failure of this type of extra-academic rhetoric and the administration of such actions?

Finally, Governor Youngkin’s policies will protect the state of Virginia. Will these ‘teachers’ be accountable to the children they have influenced after they have reached adulthood? Inevitably, some of those adult children will seek judicial remedies against the state. Keeping the job of the school employee circumscribed to the task of teaching and administering academics will prevent the state from taking on ideological responsibilities more appropriate to parents. Additionally, circumscribing the role of teachers to achieving academic outcomes protects the state of Virginia from the future recriminations and legal liability of pursing these misguided policies.

Grow up and move on.

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."

I support! the more you gave the crazier and depressed they get

<!DOCTYPE html>

People have the right to practice their ideologies outside of schools and colleges. They do not have the right to force it upon everybody else specially in a setting where no one can leave, such as school and colleges. Enough with the righteousness of trans and pronouns gangs in VA. They are terrorizing the whole country and still not happy! Stop them now!


I support Governor! look at the ramped disrespect and disregard to families and college professors

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support the governor, and oppose any recognition of transgenderism and pronouns . Look at the growing disrespect in colleges towards the professors........ children screaming their genders and pronouns........it has to stop! this attitude has no place in Virginia colleges and k-12 schools. You give them an inch and they are now running over and destroying everything any one has ever built!


VDOE reject the Draft Policy

<!DOCTYPE html>

As someone educated in Virginia public schools, as a parent of a child educated in Virginia public schools, as a friend of families with transgender children in Virginia public schools, as a registered nurse trained to give equal care and consideration to all, I oppose the draft policy and call on VDOE to reject it as not based on evidence, not created by stakeholders such as youth, educators, families or practitioners. Resources for vulnerable students should be expanded rather than restricted if you truly care about the educational and mental health of each child. Each individual is their own best expert and deserves to be respected. I realize that human differences are scary for some people. I encourage everyone to take a breath, put on your golden gloves each day like my second grade teacher, Mrs. Roberts, taught us and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Leave the respectful 2021 Guidance in place, honor the dignity of transgender youth,  and place your energy elsewhere.


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, The government has NO right to bring political agenda to the classroom

I support! most parents are working an caring for their families now, thus the "oppose" posts

<!DOCTYPE html>

Most parents don't even know about the woke and trans ideology sneaking into our schools and colleges. Most parents are worried about feeding their kids and working really long hard hours, most of them can't navigate internet......I speak for them, because I am part of two groups of immigrants and I see it. These parents are physically and mentally exhausted by the end of the day and they don't want to hear , or can not believe what is taking place in schools with this Woke ideology!

I am not surprised with the amount of the comments opposing the policy. The trans and woke are giving all of their time to this cult, they are in everything that normal parents are not aware of and can not participate because of work, so the woke seem more prevalent, but they are not. No parent want the sexualization of their children.

We don't send our kids to school to learn about their genitals, masturbation, gay sex, or to question their gender. We send kids to school for academic learning. Unfortunately ,some teachers and other woke people are using the vulnerability of our children position in school to groom and confuse them. This has to be stopped!


My Opposition to all recognition of Transgender actions in Virginia Public Schools!

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Please recognize my opposition to any recognition of the practice of transgenderism ...by students and staff at any public school in Virginia...meaning K-12, Colleges and Universities. Sincerely, George McCall   </p>


I support these changes to protect children and parent's rights

<!DOCTYPE html>

This is a good change. It is one of the reasons Governor Youngkin was elected and it is reassuring to see.


This policy is potentially g

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly oppose this policy. Outing trans and other LGBTQ+ students could put them in harm's way. All you have to do to realize this is to read some of the comments supporting this. They are hateful and misinformed. Please do not pass this attack on youths who identify themselves differently from the "mainstream".


I support. Everyone has humans rights, but trans want to do what they want to do!

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>you do not have the right to shove your ideology into kids. If your life depends on it than you need to reevaluate it. Go have a life and respect other person’s rights. </p>


SUPPORT!  Protect kids and families!

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Check the internet and the post here and you will see that the woke ideology is completely against family and think most kids are trans from the time they are born. This is a religion, a dangerous cult. Everything about them has be be left out of the education system, and they should be able to open a church to preach to those who wants. Leave everyone else alone, we don’t care about your dozens of pronouns or your gender. Life is beyond any of that. Leave the kids alone. Let them have their joy and innocence! Why so much effort to destroy our children? Since when sexualizing children became normal? It is NOT! </p>


I support ! Woke nonsense out of schools

<!DOCTYPE html>

The woke ideology has no place in schools or universities. It is nothing but a disturbing ideology confusing the weak and vulnerable while wasting everybody’s else time, that should be used for actual academic learning.


your law is worse than girl in blue


Protect Emotionally Vulnerable Children and Parental Rights!

Dear Virginia Dept of Education,

Schools should never secretly socially transition students and keep the child's new name, pronouns and gender identities from parents. I am pleased and relieved that the Virginia Department of Education's revised model policies support parental rights and ensure that school employees don't cut parents out of critical decisions for their children.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) issued "model policies" in 2021 that encouraged every school district in Virginia to hide a child's new gender identity from parents who choose to affirm the child's biological sex. Under Governor Youngkin's leadership, the VDOE's revised policies make it clear that all children should be valued and parents' rights and beliefs should be respected. The 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for all Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools keep parents involved in major decisions in their children's lives.

The 2021 VDOE "model policies" encouraged schools to create "a plan (that) may include addressing the student at school with their name and pronoun consistent with their gender identity while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when communicating with parents or guardians."

I strongly support the revised policies that end this practice. Virginia schools should not drive a wedge between parents and their emotionally vulnerable children. Virginia school districts, including those who have already communicated their plans to ignore the 2022 revised model policies, should put an end to secret Gender Support Plans now.

We’ve had enough with the nonsense hatred. If we don’t say amen to their every changing gender and pronouns , they are entitled and furious. This behavior has no place in society. They can go on and create their own small country where every say their pronouns and acknowledge their gender.
you can tell they hate society so much that as they said, they are coming for our children. Who will protect the children of this country from this insane trans lgbt ideology? This is literally destroying kids,  it just the ones who transition but the ones whose time is wasted at school because of it.

Enough with the nonsense. This group of people have destroyed many kids’ lives and bodies already, not counting their mental health. I am not okay with a book, a teacher, or subtle messages in school about any sexual thing to my children. Children have the right to be protected even from their own stupidity, they always thank parents later. Where is the body positivity movement , where is the “think outside the box”  for colors and toys? Why are kids being brainwashed into think that they have been born in the wrong body? Why would anyone take a child to take hormones and have surgeries?   This is a very dangerous ideology and children need to be protected, if not at home, at school they should have a sense of normalcy.

because the whole woke movement is not normal and are pushing lies upon lies for every group of people out there. Enough!
