Guidance Document Change: The Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools guidance document was developed in response to House Bill 145 and Senate Bill 161, enacted by the 2020 Virginia General Assembly, which directed the Virginia Department of Education to develop and make available to each school board model policies concerning the treatment of transgender students in public elementary and secondary schools. These guidelines address common issues regarding transgender students in accordance with evidence-based best practices and include information, guidance, procedures, and standards relating to: compliance with applicable nondiscrimination laws; maintenance of a safe and supportive learning environment free from discrimination and harassment for all students; prevention of and response to bullying and harassment; maintenance of student records; identification of students; protection of student privacy and the confidentiality of sensitive information; enforcement of sex-based dress codes; and student participation in sex-specific school activities, events, and use of school facilities.

Oppose draft transgender mandates
 

Children often pretend they are something they are not. It could be Superman, a tiger, a fish in the swimming pool...but they quit.  They go back to being who they really are.  They know they were only pretending.  When adults bounce on them and say yes you are, and then force them to continue in the pretending, that is very harmful and very confusing. When adults pretend they or children are something they are not, they are directly believing lies from Satan. Satan will be perfectly happy to possess their passions and possess their minds, causing them to waste all kinds of heartbreak, pain, money, and time on surgery and hormones, "counseling", political activism, and finding as many suckers they can to do the same... It is stupid and dangerous to believe and promote that you are not your biological sex.  This will do nothing but harm our society, and it is simply not true. The Department of Education has too much power.  Sexuality should not be taught in schools.  Parents are the best teachers, unless they give written permission for the students to be brainwashed.
