As The Federalist <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/12\/01\/fairfax-county-schools-used-to-assign-homework-now-they-fixate-on-what-sex-their-students-were-assigned-at-birth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported last week<\/a>, the proposal includes labeling boys and girls, respectively, as \u201cassigned\u201d males and females \u201cat birth.\u201d It also includes curricula on \u201csexual orientation and gender identity\u201d that involves watching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/video\/kids-with-intellectual-and-developmental-disabilities-ycsqtb\/?continuousplayautoplay=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pro-transgender PBS video<\/a> telling kids they can have \u201cintermediate\u201d private parts.<\/p>\n<p>If you think FCPS officials will carefully consider comments and complaints from parents worried about exposing their prepubescent children to transgender ideology, and perhaps even rethink their plans, I have some swampland in Florida I\u2019d like to sell you. As we have seen from earlier examples of Fairfax County \u201cwelcoming comments\u201d on <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/07\/fairfax-county-residents-opposed-renaming-lee-highway-but-unelected-bureaucrats-are-changing-it-anyway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proposed changes to road names<\/a>, this public survey is nothing more than an empty, perfunctory bureaucratic procedure aimed at pretending that parents have a say regarding what happens during the school day.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even more saliently, FCPS\u2019s willingness to embrace this radical gender ideology and foist it upon thousands of Northern Virginia youth provokes a more important question: If our public schools can\u2019t differentiate boys from girls, what wisdom and knowledge <em>can <\/em>they impart?<\/p>\n<p> Ignoring Basic Biology in Favor of Gender Studies <\/p>\n<p>I confess a certain embarrassment to be the one writing on this. When I worked in FCPS, I taught high-school history, not science. Years before that, I earned a respectable but certainly not impressive \u201cB\u201d in my ninth-grade FCPS honors biology class. But I\u2019d like to think the lessons my teacher offered on the rudimentary realities of male and female biology \u2014 which of course apply not only to humans but the entirety of the natural order \u2014 are still in effect, even if it\u2019s been 24 years since the last time I took a test on stamens, pistils, and gametes. I can still remember us boys immaturely chuckling when our teacher discussed ova and sperm.<\/p>\n<p>But this is no laughing matter. School administrators and educators across the country have dispensed with these basic truths of biology in favor of the latest \u201cfindings\u201d from politicized university sociology and \u201cgender studies\u201d departments. Schools take their directives not from biology \u2014 or, God forbid, classical philosophy and its articulation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepublicdiscourse.com\/2019\/06\/53437\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teleological nature of the human body<\/a>, oriented, as ova and sperm are, toward the creation of new life \u2014 but from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/queer-gender-inclusive-sex-ed_n_638a5ecfe4b06fdc9d8d74b4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">politically motivated journalists<\/a> who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/08\/opinion\/letters\/transgender-surgery.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attack the few teachers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/education\/tanner-cross-virginia-supreme-court-transgender-pronouns\/2021\/08\/31\/52f94c62-0a71-11ec-9781-07796ffb56fe_story.html\">courageous enough to take a stand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new FCPS directive \u2014 which other school districts will undoubtedly follow \u2014 \u00a0rejects stable and universal distinctions between large and small gametes and the fact that sexes can now also be determined at conception through the SRY gene (resulting in male gametes), or its absence (female gametes).
