Hi I would like to attend this meeting in support of parents rights to discuss gender and sexuality no one under 21 should be allowed hormone theray and surgeries to change gender. As voting rights have that age limits
I am extremely disappointed with MCPS not listening to parents. We do not want LGBTQ plus curriculum taught in schools, that is something for the family to teach. Schools should focus on inclusion of races.
For religious reasons, we as parents should teach kids about those choices. Schools should focus on on science and math. Please listen to the parents screaming request ls to take LGBTQ agenda out of the schools, especially elementary schools. MCPS is so non-inclusive not listening to the numerous religious groups begging you take it out for respect for our beliefs. Just because MCPS does not (hopefully in the future) teach LGBTQ in the classroom, does not mean that it is non inclusive. We do not teach the Koran or the Bible or other books, but I that does not mean that MCPS is not inclusive. Please we beg you take it out.
Hi I would like to support parents decisions and rights for 18 and under .And school system should not allowed to make life changing medical decisions without parents.
