Early warning: Virginia School District forced by Obama Admin. to add "Gender Identity" to nondiscrimination policy - other School Districts may be next

Several articles on this have appeared. Click HERE for the FoxNews article
- this could be required of Lake County at some point
.

The Fairfax County Public Schools School Board voted
Thursday night to add "gender identity" to its nondiscrimination policy in
spite of massive opposition from parents and the area's religious community.
Police were summoned to control a standing-room-only crowd
as board members approved the controversial measure.
Critics argued it would allow boys who identify as girls to
use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice - and vice versa. Parents
also had concerns about the possibility of transgender teachers.
School Board Chair Tamara Derenak Kaufax issued a statement
calling the measure a way to "provide an environment which promotes equality
where every student and employee is treated with dignity and respect."
"Parents are also taking issue with the district's stealth
handling of the policy change.
"They tried to sneak it through," Lafferty told me. "They
are trying to go around parents. It's a political agenda.""
Basically, the US Dept of Ed is rolling out a rule that forces Districts to
comply, or lose all Fed funding for food programs or more.

"The Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education is requiring
that school divisions revise their non-discrimination policies to include
gender identity".

Hundreds of parents turned out to object to the issue, but the Fairfax, VA
County Public Schools Board decided to implement the new policy to keep
receiving Federal funds, angering many parents.

The article did not explain any timeline for rolling this transgender policy
out to other states and school districts, but I assume it is coming.
