FAIRFAX, Va. – Fairfax County school board members opened the door by amending the district’s non-discrimination policy to include yet-to-be-determined protections for transgender students.

In other districts, those protections allow students of the opposite sex to share locker rooms, or showers.

Weeks later, board members are now injecting radical sex education concepts into middle and high school curricula, including concepts like gender fluidity – or the idea that “sexuality is a broader spectrum,” Fox News reports.

“Emphasis will be placed on an understanding that there is a broader, boundless, and fluid spectrum of sexuality that is developed throughout a lifetime,” according to a report on changes to Fairfax county schools’ family life curriculum for grades 7 through 12.

“Sexual orientation and gender identity terms will be discussed with focus on appreciation for individual differences,” Fox News cited from the report.

The proposed curriculum changes in Fairfax were introduced yesterday, and they’re drawing sharp criticism from parents, and community and religious leaders like Christian evangelist Franklin Graham.

“Can you believe these idiots?” Graham posted to Facebook. “Gender fluidity? … It should make your blood boil that they want to brainwash our children! Teaching that there is no difference between boys and girls is nothing more than a lie. We are different because God made us different.

“School districts should not allow this poison near the classroom!” he wrote. “This is a great example of why Christians should be involved in politics in all levels of our communities, cities, and nation.”

Peter Sprigg, of the Family Research Council, certainly agrees with Graham.

“The larger picture is … really an attack on nature itself – the created order,” he sold Fox News.

“Human beings are created male and female. But the current transgender ideology goes way beyond that. They’re telling us you can be both genders, you can be no gender, you can be a gender that you make up for yourself. And were supposed to affirm all of it.”

The curriculum would start in middle school by introducing the “sexual orientation terms heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality; and the gender identity term transgender,” according to the recommendations.

In eighth grade, the curriculum would expand on the definitions to include the concept that “individual identity (has) … four parts – biological gender, fender identity (includes transgender), gender role, and sexual orientation (includes heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual),” Fox News reports.

By 10^th grade students the curriculum would have students pondering where they sit on the sexuality spectrum.

“Parents need to protect their kids from this assault,” Andrea Lafferty, president of the Traditional Values Coalition, told Fox News. “Who would imagine that we are in this place today – but we are.”

The curriculum suggestions follow a heated board meeting earlier this month in which board members voted 10-1 to adopt a nondiscrimination policy for transgender students and staff over the very loud vocal objections of hundreds of parents and residents.

“It was the largest turnout in the history of Fairfax schools,” Elizabeth Schultz, the only board member to vote against the proposal, told EAGnews. “There were as many people, if not more, who couldn’t get in. They were banging on the doors.

“It wasn’t even so much about the transgender or privacy – it was more like ‘What are you doing, and if you can’t even tell me, how can you support this?” Schultz said.

Board members approved the nondiscrimination policy without specifics, and tasked administrators with filling in the blanks.

“When I asked when we’re going to be able to understand what this policy means, I was told Sept. 30,” Schultz said. “Staff is going to spend the next four and a half months developing regulations and handbook materials on how to implement this.

“How can you pass a policy in advance that could be highly problematic? How can you even understand what’s happening? The answer is we did it, anyway.”

Schultz said the local push for transgender issues was spawned by a recent legal opinion issued by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring.

“Mark Herring is proving himself to be an activist,” Schultz said. “He wrote a legal opinion at the beginning of March that flew in the face of eight previous attorney general opinions, regarding whether local governments and schools could extend protected class status for sexual orientation or gender identity. Previous attorney generals – Democrats and Republicans – have said no.

“All of the sudden one board member puts this on our agenda within hours of Herring’s opinion. The AG issued an opinion, so we need to amend policy, bing, bang, boom. There was no consideration of what does it mean, what impact will it have?”

Federal education authorities have also threatened to withhold funding from local school districts if they don’t craft protections for transgender students, Schultz said.
