School Board ignored parents, voted for gender studies for elementary students.

🚩Mother confronts school board members who ignored parental concerns and voted to implement gender studies for elementary students.
"I'm Kaylee Weichbrodt. I'm a mom of two in Fairfax County. This is my oldest, and my husband and I, have a difficult decision to make this fall as he is approaching preschool age, and we are faced with the decision of whether or not we are going to put our child in public school system where Fairfax County has decided to move forward with instituting gender studies in elementary school despite having done a study group, a focus group in the community to see if parents even wanted this."

And when parents said no, the board voted 16 to zero and said we're moving forward anyways. This shows clearly that they see parents not as partners, but as an obstacle for their agenda. And I have a really hard time looking at him and going, here, I'm just gonna give you over to people who do not wanna partner with me in how you're going to be raised. School and education is a huge part of a child's life, and early childhood is supposed to be filled with exploration and creativity and fun, not debating issues that are for adults to handle."

"These kinds of topics should be introduced sensitively and by parents who are raising their children with their values, not with an ideology passed down from the top. And so this isn't about discrimination. This is about age appropriateness.
This is about parents being parents and the school being the support system to parents that it was created to be. I'm urging legislators to oppose the bill like the Hashmi bill and amendments that could further erode parental involvement and religious freedoms."

"Parents should be the primary educators in their children's lives and the protectors of their children's values. And so this is why we're here, to protect, diverse family values and make sure that our children stay safe. And to the Fairfax County School Board, we really need you to listen."

"You have been elected. You have been put there to represent our voice. When you chose to make the decision to be on the school board, did you have us in mind or an agenda? And you really need to think about who are you there to represent because the parents don't want this. Our schools should be partners with parents, not ideological adversaries."
