(The Daily Citizen) The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued new rules for public schools, telling local school boards to “eliminate gender-based practices” to accommodate “transgender students.”
The 27-page Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools was developed after the state enacted legislation requiring the VDOE to “develop and make available … model policies concerning the treatment of transgender students.”
The document is filled with recommendations promoting radical gender theory – the idea that gender is simply a social construct, and that someone’s “gender” can be distinct from their biological sex.
As a preview to how radical the document is, on its third and fourth pages, nearly three dozen people are acknowledged for providing “input” and “expertise” in development of the policies. Directly after their names are listed, their preferred pronouns are included.
