I Fully Support This

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> I fully support the model policies you have put in place. Schools have zero right to indoctrinate kids with their woke garbage. They also have zero right to pressure kids to change their identities and take drugs without telling the parents. Thank you for standing up for the rights of parents. These policies are long overdue.  </p>

Support for ALL Students


<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly oppose the proposed transgender, nonbinary policies. These will endanger the students involved, opening them up to bullying at school and possible danger at home. If the students have not told their parents about their gender status, there must be a reason for that. Many parents are supportive of these children, but some certainly would not be-- and this could cause vast damage to their relationship and the mental and physical health of the kids.

<p> Thank you Governor Youngkin for protecting our kids.  </p>


I support parents rights.

<!DOCTYPE html>

It's completely ridiculous that anyone is opposed to these policy changes. Schools exist to teach children, not help them make life altering choices. That is clearly in the real of parental duty and authority. To cut them out of it, like many who oppose this policy change support, is the height of absurdity.

As one who follows Jesus's word to love all I oppose this law


I support

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> This is not something that should be pushed in schools. No little girl should have to feel uncomfortable because men can go into same restrooms as them. If we allow this than in the future pedophiles will be able to demand same rights and that is unacceptable!  </p>


I support this.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> I support this proposal. Parents have the right to know what is going on with their child. If a child fears that their parent will abuse them because of this then they need to speak up and report it to child protective services. A living parent will not condemn their child because they are gender confused or homosexual… or for any reason whatsoever. But I would imagine living with this secret from your family</p>

Support the policies

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> The new policies provide balance in caring for each student and the views and values of their parents. It returns the responsibility for children to their parents.

Children with gender dysphoria will receive more balanced care under the supervision of parents in partnership with school personnel as needed rather than the possibility that parents be excluded from the conversation.

Support Governor Youngkin

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I support and agree with Governor Glenn Youngkin 100% in the Virginia Bill that states children in schools must use the bathroom that correlates to their biological sex at birth. It's just common sense. Less than 1% of all school children in Virginia identify as trans, and even for those who do, they should be given opportunities to seek counseling to help them understand why they feel the way they do and to help them overcome their personal issues. Forcing 99% of school children to share bathrooms with others who are not of the same sex is irresponsible and opens the door for those children to be sexually assaulted. Remember the horrible sexual assaults perpetrated by boys claiming they were girls who went into school bathrooms in Loudon County, Virginia, and they attacked and violated young girls. Governor Youngkin is smart enough to learn from these horrific events in Loudon schools </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>


Support! Studies show increase in sexual assault when bathrooms aren't sex segregated

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> Please check out the scholarly journal article Gender-Inclusion Policies and Sexual Violence: ALongitudinal Analysis of Media Reports at Target Stores to see that sexual assault INCREASED BY 70% when public restrooms allowed people to use them based on their self identified gender. Women and children were victims 99% of the time. Protect women and girls!  </p>


Excellent Policy with supporting rationale and legal guidance

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> Thank you to the Youngkin administration for a rational policy that protects the rights of parents in this sensitive area. Parents need to be informed and involved in decision making regarding their transgender student. School personnel should not have exclusive power in this area.I fully support the direction and guidance this policy brings to the school setting.  </p>

Strongly Support/Abolish this Policy Completely

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> I am a parent in Virginia and I do not want my kids to be taught this way of living or thinking in any way. Transgender sexuality goes against my belief and the core beliefs of my family. Forcing this on my children is not the school's place and it violates my rights as a parent and the constitutional rights of my children. This policy is religiously discriminating. This policy violates the rights of students all across Virginia. The VDOE cannot afford special privileges to certain students (a very small percentage at that) while stepping on the rights of others (over 98% of the student population.) This is a constitutional violation. I fully support these changes and suggest that this policy be abolished completely. A person is free to live their life as they like</p>

<p> Children need time to grow and find themselves. They should not be made to declare their gender at such an early age. There is plenty of time for that when they reach the age of reason. This policy provides for parents to legally request their children be called by pronouns indicating gender other than what is on their birth certificates if they and their children feel strongly about it. Transgenders did compose approximately half of one percent of the population before this targeted campaign began. Now</p>

Poorly thought out, poorly written. Whoever wrote it needs to go back to school themselves

<!DOCTYPE html>

The new policies allow parents to discriminate, harass, and bully their children, and certainly not treat them with any privacy, dignity, honor, or respect while forcing the school to do the same.

It others transgender students, and treats them differently, which does not honor or respect their privacy or dignity. It notes the Code of Virginia states that the policies are to be evidence-based, and that the 1st Amendment also ensure that policies not require individuals to adhere to an ideology yet it does exactly that. It gives no evidence (unlike the previous/current policy), other than to state the laws but not how their interpretation of those laws is evidence-based.

Not  so Fast Mr youngkin / Trans people have rights too school board should not be in charge

<!DOCTYPE html>

FERPA says you can't release any information about a student to anyone without the Students consent.

What the Birth Certificate is wrong in the first place and the state of origin refuses to correct the problem.

What about those whose physical appearance such as hermaphrodites who's gender is not apparent

What about those whose genetics make it difficult to determine gender

When comes to sports it is unclear if there is an advantage with men playing as women. After there are women who play with men in football games. I want see studies to prove or disprove this issue

What if you are an emancipated minor  ages 14-16 depending upon state. you can't notify parents under those circumstances.

While books on this subject should be in regular public libraries, It is unclear if the should school k-12  libraries and who regulates that

If you are over 18 your parents can't not be notified

 What does it say on your Passport or other Federal ID and/or Driver's License or other state issued ID

What about those raised you if they are not your biological parents who get the notification.

Medical/Psychological assistance must be available to those who request it with or without parental interference.

no religious grounds for exemption.

Bathrooms are not private as doors have been removed from stalls. I this violate a person right  to privacy.

Who enforces the new rules not the school district  not parents, not police , but it should be  a

separate entity that's elected  by local persons

finally this might be a federal issue if a student crosses state lines because states are inconsstant

Parents' rights are important. Children and their education are important. Teachers are important.

Encouraging the social contagion of gender confusion is not helpful to to children, it does not respect parents, and it does not permit teachers to focus on actual and appropriate educational goals.. The sexualization of children is inappropriate and has no place in our schools.

This guidance suggests that students shouldn't have freedoms or rights. It also suggests that parents are inherently benevolent humans that never harm their children. It makes schools unsafe for youth. It erodes and closes off pathways of trust between students, teachers, and administrators. This can abandon students at a time where trust is integral to their healthy development.

This guidance is an abuse of power towards one our most vulnerable and unprotected populations.

This also suggests that any faith or spiritual practice must align with those outside of one's beliefs in order to access their rights. That is not religious freedom.

Regardless of ones identity or expression, it does not need to be explained or justified by anyone other than the person that embodies that identity.

<!DOCTYPE html>

It's hard to be a kid. It's hard to be different from your peers and racial and gender stereotyping can cause real harm.

The "Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools" is a toxic instrument that targets children who identify outside the "norm". Students should feel safe and comfortable in an educational environment, yet schools and this proposed policy make it problematic for some. Schools should be a safe place. Students excel when they are in a welcoming environment.

Stand up for our children. This proposal is nothing but a sophisticated form of bullying and control. Oppose this potential legislation which is evil and refuse to adopt it.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions. perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or how far away." (Henry David Thoreau).

And that has made all the difference". (Robert Frost)

<!DOCTYPE html>

The New 2022 Model Guidance protects Rights of Parents. At this late hour in our History, we sadly need the Fundamental Rights of parents to be defined, spelled out. Some comment that this "is hate". Protection of parental rights is vital to maintain our Basic freedoms of speech, religion. I can not imagine that some do not support parental rights and call this "hate, "anti" and many other vitriolic comments. What parent/person  would want to turn their child to the "State" to raise!

Strongly support parental rights

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> This should be common sense that parents make the decisions for their children and should be fully informed by the education system concerning the care of their child. This is not a socialist state where children belong to the state. School systems should not be indoctrinating children with gender ideology potentially putting them on a path they may not fully understand the full weight of their decision. It has been documented that transitioning is very difficult for adults. Why would we push and encourage this decision on young children when growing up is already so difficult. Those that are truly trans should be treated with the same respect and kindness as everyone else and this policy is in agreement with this. What the opposition wants is to encourage this on young developing minds when they do not bear the responsibility of seeing the child through the whole process. They are not responsible for the mental health</p>


Support Youngkin

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> I fully support Governor Youngkin. Transgender students NEED the help of their parents. They do not need to be further secretive about their identity crisis. Childten’s brains are not fully developed so why would any responsible adult allow a child to make a change as drastic as trying to switch genders or wanting to dabble in using new pronouns? How does being secretive benefit anyone? Being secretive is what people do when they’re being DECEITFUL. When we are honest</p>


Strongly Support/Abolish this Policy Completely

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> I am a parent in Virginia and I do not want my kids to be taught this way of living or thinking in any way. Transgender sexuality goes against my belief and the core beliefs of my family. Forcing this on my children is not the school's place and it violates my rights as a parent and the constitutional rights of my children. This policy is religiously discriminating. This policy violates the rights of students all across Virginia. The VDOE cannot afford special privileges to certain students (a very small percentage at that) while stepping on the rights of others (over 98% of the student population.) This is a constitutional violation. I fully support these changes and suggest that this policy be abolished completely. A person is free to live their life as they like</p>


I support this.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> I support this proposal. Parents have the right to know what is going on with their child. If a child fears that their parent will abuse them because of this then they need to speak up and report it to child protective services. A living parent will not condemn their child because they are gender confused or homosexual… or for any reason whatsoever. But I would imagine living with this secret from your family</p>

<p>Everyone deserves to feel safe, especially in a school/educational setting.

Discrimination against transgender students is both illegal and immoral. All children should feel safe in their schools. Forcing children to use the incorrect bathroom for their gender is frightening and dehumanizing. This is a deliberate, cruel act on the part of our governor.

PROTECT TRANS YOUTH

<!DOCTYPE html>

we need to stop harming the already marginalized community that is trans youth, our children need to be protected and allowed to be who they ARE. Using the correct pronouns doesn’t hurt anyone however not using the preferred pronouns/name of a child can be detrimental to their feeling of self worth and confidence in themselves. this should not have to be political, this is kindness, respect, and consideration. Glenn Younkin is targeting literal children and putting them at risk socially, mentally, and physically to long lasting harm. Being a trans person in America is hard enough as it is, just going outside as one’s self can be dangerous and intimidating, this proposed policy will only contribute to these hardships. is is such a simple thing to use a persons preffered pronouns and name, but it can have a positive, affirmative effect on someone who has been struggling with their identity. this bill is harmful and heavily bias, we CAN NOT let this legislation cause such harm to our children.

They cannot give students Tylenol without parental consent!

Schools exist to educate children

<!DOCTYPE html>

Schools exist solely to educate children - nothing more and nothing less. As long as a student’s personal decision doesn’t impact the ability of other students to receive an education, they should be free to act as they please - PARTICULARLY when it comes to decisions about their personal identity.  Rather than metaphorically checking their students’ genitalia or sexual genotype, perhaps schools should follow their mandate by using varying gender identities as an opportunity to educate each other about tolerance, empathy, and coexistence.  THAT would be furthering the education of all students.

The proposed regulations instead hinder the ability to obtain an education for many students who are exposed, outcast, and threatened by the proposed regulations.  Shame on you for that.

<p> I support this proposal. Parents have the right to know what is going on with their child. If a child fears that their parent will abuse them because of this then they need to speak up and report it to child protective services. A living parent will not condemn their child because they are gender confused or homosexual… or for any reason whatsoever. But I would imagine living with this secret from your family</p>

Strongly oppose Youngkin policy

Our country is supposed to be a bastion of Democracy, freedom of (and from) religion, and liberty for all. Youngkin's policy regarding LGBTQ individuals is in opposition to those tenets.LGBTQ students will be traumatized by this misplaced religious zealotry and  homophobia. This policy has no place in our public schools, and is only proof of bigotry.
I weep for the LGBTQ students who will be harmed by this ignorant piece of legislation imposed by the VA governor. Shame on him. The name Youngkin is now synonymous with ignorance, fear, and prejudice.

Gatekeeping School Support for Trans Kids is Detrimental to Them and Their Parents

<!DOCTYPE html>

Policies should not strip transgender children of supportive systems, nor should they be contingent upon parents' beliefs. Such policies are detrimental to both parents and children for these 5 reasons:

Transgender children are an extremely vulnerable group in the U.S., with an unprecedented suicide attempt rate of over 40% before adulthood. Placing undue burdens and obstacles to obtaining support on these children is highly unethical.

Policy that inappropriately interferes with relationships between parents and children and can do irreparable harm to their bond. It enacts the authority and powers of the educational system to operate against transgender children, increasing conflict and contention with their parents and within the family. These issues are highly intimate and should remain familial issues. Supportive resources, such as education and supportive organizations, are far healthier and more ethical options for transgender children and their parents.

Unfortunately, parents' knowledge of transgenderism is often very poor. Parents who mean well often inflict significant harm on their transgender children because they are deprived of education and resources related to transgender issues. For example, parents do not understand that forcing a gender presentation on any child (transgender or not) is extremely harmful. Forced gender presentation is humiliating and children perceive it as an act of abuse, irrespective of the parents' beliefs or intentions, and children show genuine signs of trauma as a result. Here is a quote from the American Psychological Association: "Gender identity change efforts are associated with harmful social and emotional effects for many individuals, including but not limited to, the onset or increase of depression, anxiety, suicidality...deteriorated family relationships, a range of post-traumatic responses, and substance abuse. https://www.apa.org/about/policy/resolution-gender-identity-change-efforts.pdf

Damage done to transgender children by stripping them of school-based support is significantly greater than any offense a parent may experience to their personal or religious beliefs. As adults, parents have the maturity, the resources, and the coping capacity to deal with uncomfortable or difficult situations. Young children do not. Since children are far more vulnerable than adults, they require and deserve greater protection and need to be a priority.

If parents do not want their children to use these supportive resources, they alone are responsible for enforcing their beliefs. Whether or not their children comply with their wishes is an issue parents need to contend with, not teachers, school staff, or the government.


Utterly Unethical

<!DOCTYPE html>

The fact that this is happening deeply upsets my hopes for this community. This is completely unnecessary and a violation of the rights of students everywhere. “Let parents parent” is a horrible way to look at things, considering many of these parents want to cause severe psychological distress to their children by blatantly disregarding their children’s sense of self. The psychological brain activity of a transgender person is proven to be different than a cisgender person’s, and people STILL try to use “facts over feelings” as an argument against the transgender community.

Trans kids are not hurting anyone. In fact, they are being hurt. There is absolutely no logical reason or explanation as to why this law should be put into effect that justifies the severe trauma and consequences these children will have to suffer through. They are going to be paying for the mistakes of someone who would not listen to them and suffering the consequences of a decision they had no say in. Why are we targeting those who are vulnerable instead of worrying about the fact that anyone can get a gun and take it to a school full of children? This state and this country has so much more important things to worry about. While people are being killed mercilessly, you are worrying about who can use what bathroom. This is a new level of immaturity.


Do not support cruelty to trans kids

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Transgender kids need our love and support. These laws are cruel and transphobic. Transgender kids exist and must be allowed to use bathrooms of their own gender. They must be addressed properly and not shamed or publicly humiliated for being trans. Take time to get to know someone who is transgender. It is not a phase or a mental illness. It is not a fad spreading around. It’s always been here just like gay people who were persecuted and left handed people of the past who had to hide. Now they are accepted just as trans people should be. Don’t believe the fear mongers and haters. They just deserve human decency. This law will lead to many harmed children and is already causing a lot of harm to our youth. </p>

It is our jobs as educators to educate and not to adhere to social and cultural distractions. Too much is being forced down student’s throat that are a complete distraction to the classroom.

I’m glad to see that this is one step closer in the right direction to classroom normalcy. Groomers opposing this need a reality check.

Thank you for speaking up in support of parental rights and hopefully setting this important precedent!

As a mother raising two teenagers, I understand how difficult it is for young people growing up and going through puberty at a time when so much is changing socially, economically, politically and globally.

Many young people from different backgrounds are struggling with their well being post lockdown, and have depression, anxiety, and various mental health challenges.

It is so vital that parents are kept informed of what might be going on for their children as we are the ones most invested in their well being. Most of us will passionately protect, defend and support our children, and we have to know what is going on for them.

Moreover, when teachers and school administrators normalize and encourage our kids to keep secrets from us, our kids learn a dangerous lesson. When we are presented as a problem and potentially unsupportive, it weakens our family ties and our kids trust in us. They also learn to trust instead adults who can't possibly have their best interest at heart.

We should always offer our kids support and a safe environment to explore who they are. That is best done in partnership with parents. Studies show that it's the children who have strong connections with family who are most resilient. Let's strengthen those connections rather than weaken them.

Thank you so much for this important move!


Strongly Oppose Younkin's Standpoint

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Parents who feel that they are entitled to know the ins and outs of their children's gender identities simply are not acting in the best interests of their children. If your child does not want to disclose that information to you, that should be an opportunity for you to take a step back and wonder why that may be. If the home environment you create is not accepting of your child regardless of how they identify, then you have no right to demand that the school disclose that information to you as that directly creates an unsafe situation for the child. In an ideal world it would be great if a child coming out was always well received and queer youth were not afraid of the consequences of coming out to their parents. However, this is not the reality we live in. Current school policy that does not allow schools to share this information with parents is a measure to protect the safety of the students while allowing them a space to be themselves. As a queer high school student myself, I am disgusted at the thought of being forced to not be myself among my friends at school for fear of my parents finding out against my will. Having my gender identity shared to my parents would be a major issue, and my situation is far from the worst one out there. Parents, from the perspective of a kid, please respect our ability to act in our own self interest if it means ensuring our own safety and happiness. </p>

All people should be respected for their beliefs. For these children to be given an option and then have that very option taken away after they have gained confidence in who they have become can only bring heartbreak and pain at the hands of adults who have never been in the same situation. Every person leaving a comment today has or has not been touched somehow by a transgender person in their lifetime. I feel sorry for the people that have never had an open mind to take the time to educate themselves on what we’ve learned over the years about children whom identity as the opposite sex. These kids deserve a chance to express exactly who they are in a comfortable environment where they get the same education and respect that every other child gets no matter their skin color, gender, height, weight, name or age. WE HAVE TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER!

Parent of Trans HS student - opposed to your bigotry

<!DOCTYPE html>

My kid is a trans FCPS student who will be adversely affected by this hateful guidance. We pay taxes, my kid is entitled to equal protection and reasonable accommodations just like every other student in VA public schools.

Government employees shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against or otherwise disrespect trans students when their salary is paid by taxpayers. If such teachers feel their personal religious or ideological beliefs obligate them to discriminate against my or other trans kids, then they are not fit for public service. They don't get to abuse or bully kids because they think their sky friend requires them to be a jerk.

If a kid isn't open with their parents about their gender identity or sexual orientation, they likely fear abuse or other adverse outcomes from being outed. School should be a safe space for these kids to express themselves authentically, why would the state insert itself into their private lives? Any abuse or bloodshed emanating from forced outings of trans students, who disproportionately are abused, disowned, cast out on the streets, etc. will be on your hands.

Finally, making trans students use the bathroom that aligns with their "biological sex" is idiotic. If my kid walked in a women's room, people would be like "what is that dude doing in the women's room?" Hence they use the men's room and have done so without incident for a couple years now. You sickos need to quit fixating on kids genitals. If the goal is to make them so uncomfortable they just won't use the bathroom at school, then mission accomplished I guess. You'll be the UTI governor, great legacy, .

Trans kids exist, get over it you creepy fascists. Picking on the most marginalized people in society, who have disproportionate rates of depression, anxiety, homelessness, addiction, and suicidality, is a terrible look from the "All lives matter" brigade. In closing, eat a big bag of dicks Glenn Youngkin, you corrupt trash using my kid and others like them as slop for the braying hogs who are dumb enough to buy your garbage and vote for you. Cool sweater vest dillweed.

Oppose rolling back trans protections

<!DOCTYPE html>

As someone who grew up in the VA school system and who is now the proud parent of a trans child, I would like to strongly OPPOSE the governors push to roll back protections.  Letting kids use their preferred names, bathrooms, and joining sports with people they identify with can be life-saving for many trans youth.  As research shows, having affirming adults in a trans person’s life can reduce their suicide risk (which is shockingly high) to that of an average adolescent.  Any policies that give anyone the right to negate how a child identifies puts them at further risk.  The positives of trans affirming policies is more happy kids and lives saved - there isn’t a meaningful negative impact to other children — and certainly not an impact that is worth putting children’s lives at risk.

We must keep biological males out of female sports because if we don't,  there would no longer be fair competition.

There are too many "fakers" out there to allow the minor children to mix genders in intimate  situations such as using toilets or unsupervised cross gender situations. Parents are responsible legally, morally, and ethically, for assisting their minor children in life decisions. Not anyone else! The schools are responsible for teaching our children how to think and Not what to think!

The schools should stay in their own lane and leave the parenting decisions to the parents where they have traditionally belonged.


I support this change.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p> Schools should stay out of gender identity and sexual preferences. They should be respectful of all students while sticking to providing education. Parents should provide legal documentation of name and/or gender change to require school staff or students to address a student by biological/legal name/pronouns. No biological male should be allowed to compete in female sports or enter bathrooms/locker rooms; vice versa for females participating in male sport or enter bathrooms. I certainly don't want schools teaching gender/transgender topics or casually discussing with students. Teachers are not there to be a friend . Students don't need to know what staff do on weekends or in relationships. It's called boundaries. In the end</p>

I am incredibly disappointed by this proposal. Our children need to be protected and supported. Do you realize, or even care, how this can harm a child? They will be devalued at school and outed to their parents. If they have parents, like your base, that may punish them or kick them out of the house. This is going to lead to increased homelessness and suicide. You have displayed your disdain for children throughout your campaign, and actions such as this. You are a disgrace, from promoting conspiracy theories, demonizing and spreading blatant lies about teachers, and now taking rights and autonomy away from an already marginalized group of people who have a high rate of suicide. I am a teacher. Building relationships with students and having mutual respect is the only way to be successful in a classroom.

If this discriminatory legislation passes, I expect you to also ban nicknames. It's only fair. Also, please tell me how a teacher, who isn't familiar with every student in the school, is supposed to know what each child's genitalia looks like? What's next? I am currently in my 25th year of teaching and I care very much for my students. I WILL NOT COMPLY!
