All three of my children went to FCPS with the last one graduating last spring. They all have LBGT friends who will be affected by this "policy" that Youngkin is attempting to force on the schools. Allnof them would have participated in the walkout and I would support them. The City of Alexandria School Board has told the Governor that they are not going to implement his policy changes and they are daring him to sue.

On the flip side you will soon see the faux outraged fake parents start to show up at the school board meetings where they will accuse the board members of grooming the children.

As I recall, it was something like 28,000 votes in three states that gave Biden the presidency. Lonestarblue Sep 2022 #22
