Yes Virginia, your parents must provide the school's permission from them to adopt your opposite gender identity

The Virginia education department has finalized a rule requiring all public schools to get the permission of the students' parents before cooperating with their child to identify as the opposite sex. So if Mary wants to be called Marty, and Jimmy wants to be called Jenny, the school staff must ask permission of their parents to do so. Naturally, there will be some parents who think it makes them look woke and tres cool to have a gender dysphoric kid, but most parents might feel otherwise. In fact, schools that have allowed misidentification of the student's gender in the past, have typically withheld the child's disorder from the parents, so this bill will allow parents to be parents.

The new policies were released on Tuesday prohibiting schools from going along with student's request to use a different name or pronoun unless the parent provides the school with written permission. Worse for the woke, students can only play on school sports teams and use school toilets that match their biological sex. 

“All children in Virginia deserve to have a parent engaged in their life and to be treated with dignity and respect,” Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin  said regarding the new policies.

“The VDOE updated model policies reaffirm my administration’s continued commitment to ensure that every parent is involved in conversations regarding their child’s education, upbringing, and care. Public comment, input, and concerns were carefully evaluated and assessed to formulate the updated model policies. The Department of Education has delivered policies that empower parents, prohibit discrimination, create a safe and vibrant learning environment by addressing bullying incidents immediately, and protect the privacy and dignity of all students through bathroom policies, athletic procedures, and student identification measures,” Youngkin said.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Lisa Coons said the new policies “provide families the opportunity to weigh in on their child’s decisions and be a partner in their education.” This should be a no-brainer for all parents, but somehow the woke don't agree.

“We are elevating parents and giving them a seat at the table,” Coons said, although it was never up to any outside organization to 'elevate parents' as they have always been the primary decision-makers of their developing offspring. 

But Coons meant well.

Parental rights advocates applauded the new policies.

Parents Defending Education Action praised the governor, as well as parent advocates, for the “huge win.”

“In the face of threats, including from public officials, Virginia parents have stood strong. They continue to fight for their kids. These policies are a huge win for those parents, and they should be so proud of their courage and their efforts,” Alex Nester, the political director of Parents Defending Education Action, told the Washington Examiner.

The policies were first proposed by Youngkin’s administration in September.

Some student activists around the state reacted by protesting the proposed policies because it takes away their power of manipulating children to do as they suggest.

It's good to see sanity being restored across the country, one step at a time.
