Fairfax County to Punish Students over Pronouns
"Living as a Christian could get a student suspended from public school in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Last week, the school board conducted an annual review of its Regulation 2601,
proposing edits to a 70-page-long document on
"Students' Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R),
and parents noticed something shocking.
According to a short provision buried deep in the document,
students could face suspension for up to five days,
and possibly further punishment,
for referring to a fellow student according to their biological, God-given sex.
.....this particular provision has three glaring problems.
The first is
the use of the words "deadnaming" and "misgendering."
These words carry no meaning to a normal, sane person
who hasn't imbibed the transgender Kool-Aid.
They describe using someone's given name and biological pronouns, respectively,
when that person identifies with a name and pronouns of the opposite sex.
They're mostly used as shorthand smears to apply sinister connotations to innocent behavior.
Thirdly,
Fairfax County wrongly assumes malicious intent in using the "wrong" name or pronoun.
They presume that transgender affirmation is the only moral option.
They rule out the possibility that someone could have good motives for behaving otherwise,
such as a commitment to absolute truth,
concern over someone's eternal soul,
or seeking their present happiness (as distinct from accommodating their present feelings).
In other words, they assume Christians are acting maliciously.
If they can't persuade a student to reject biblical truth about human sexuality,
that student had better beware.
They could face graver disciplinary action, like suspension.
If a suspension doesn't work, they can refer the student to the Division Superintendent,
who "will consider all possible sanctions in the same hearing (to include short-term suspension,
long-term suspension,
reassignment, and/or expulsion)."
And even afterwards, the student "may be subject to ongoing consequences,
even after the student returns," including "probationary conditions" and "restitution."
If Fairfax County Public Schools aren't promoting moral training in a secular religion,
I don't know what is.
Parents should help prepare their children to wrestle with tough questions,
face the world's pressure to conform,
and have a solid foundation on which to stand.
Parents bear the primary responsibility for educating their children.
They should consider how best to protect their children from this gender insanity.
Should they enroll them in a Christian school?
Should they educate them at home?
Should they run for school board?
There are many good options, but "doing nothing" is not one of them.
