A Fairfax County task force established in March to review the state of sexual violence education and awareness presented a set of recommendations to the Board of Supervisors at their Sept. 29 meeting.
The task force comprises representatives from Fairfax County Public Schools, community leaders and staff from the Office for Women & Domestic and Sexual Violence Services.
They reviewed curricula from schools as well as ways organizations in the community can communicate positive messages about the opposite sex to youth and providing victim support services. The task force also looked at how perpetrators could be held more accountable.
School curricula already include an educational base for students on sexual assault, the task force found. But they also see the need for a “change in the culture of acceptance and apathy toward sexual assault in the community,” a statement from supervisor John Cook’s (R-Braddock) office said.
The two main recommendations from the task force include creating a Sexual Violence Curriculum Workgroup, as well as a new position to facilitate the new sexual violence coordinating team, and help with messaging and communication with communities about sexual violence.
“The community-wide sexual violence task force made great progress in developing these strategies to change the community's attitudes toward sexual assault,” Cook said in the statement.
“The task force’s work in providing these recommendations is an important step in reversing the course of our culture, and now we must take these recommendations and strategies and implement them effectively.”

Fairfax County can best reduce sexual violence in the county by closing the county jail. The deputies rape more people, both male and female, than the citizens in the county.

The last poster is an idiot.
Anyway, you want real, common-sense advice: hey parents, teach your daughters to be careful, and teach your sons to be respectful.
I'm not deluded, however, and I do realize that many parents don't raise their children correctly.

A Task Force that included Fairfax County Public Schools representatives. I bet they didn't bring up the topic of addressing the sexual predators that are part of their school staff.

Did they look into the Fairfax County Police Spokesman:

Uploading child porn and only getting $15k in bail eh? Well, I'm sure he's no flight risk. After all, before being a spokesman for the department, this iteration of Fairfax's finest was a trusted School Resource Officer. I'm sure he knew just how to guide troubled kids in FCPS to the right path there.
He's clearly a pillar of the community like all our boys in the department so I'm sure this will all be cleared up soon.
