Victory In Prince William County as Board Votes to Indefinitely Delay Transgender Policy

GLAD MY 8 Year old daughter is attending Nokesville School!!!!!
After an epic school board meeting in Manassas, Virginia, that included over 100 citizen speakers who flooded the school board to express opposition, the Prince William County School Board voted 5-1, with chairman Ryan Sawyers as the only no vote, to postpone a vote on proposed changes to the non-discrimination policy. The changes, as several speakers pointed out, could lead to the creation of "speech codes", as well as the suspension or expulsion of students who use the wrong "pronoun" for other students or teachers. Please understand that the word "pronoun" does not simply include "he" or "she". It includes a litany of invented terms ranging from "xir" to "ze".
That travesty resulted in dozens of Brentsville residents showing up to speak, most of them pointing out the complete injustice of holding a vote without representation of the Brentsville District.

If the victims were not overwhelmingly white conservatives, liberals would refer to this as "voter suppression." But as one 10-year-old boy who spoke at the meeting pointed out, liberals' concern for "equal rights" and "safe-spaces" only applies to minorities who liberals such as Ryan Sawyers can use for political gain.

Some voters are more equal than others.

But, probably more concerned about the political and legal consequences than the moral ethics of this policy or the danger posed to young children, the board ended up voting 5-1 to basically kill this policy, as Fairfax has practically no chance in the conservative-leaning Virginia Supreme Court. By the way, if Brentsville had been represented properly, it would have been 6-1.

This was a result of the massive pressure placed on the school board by hundreds of citizens who showed up at the meeting, like the 15-year-old Nokesville resident who gathered 2,000 signatures in opposition to the nondiscrimination change, or the 10-year-old who explained that school bullying is a real problem, but most victims are straight, white, and male, and more policies will do nothing to prevent it.

what is it with the name "Ryan" and liberal tendencies? We've got one here.

Glad to hear that community involvement won the day over the activist School Board. Now hopefully they can focus on reducing bullying of any kid and teaching!

Kudos to the involved parents of PWC.

Sadly for this latest bunch of lowly social misfits, gays can openly hold jobs, blacks can marry whites, and Muslims can move in next door to you. You struggling minor leaguers need to grow up one day.

School Board member Alyson Satterwhite gave a scathing speech against Chariman Ryan Sawyers at the end of the meeting:

"It’s no secret that our board has struggled since January. We have gone through controversy after controversy, and we are known for that now by the Virginia Board Association because of our dysfunction where once we were considered leaders.”

Mr. Sawyers, I remember last November when we talked after the election. I told you that even though we might have had political party endorsements for our independent runs for school board, after the election is over, partisanship is over, and it is all about the kids. You may not have realized it, but I was very, very serious.”

You have made the focus more about political affiliation than about education, and you need to understand that most of us know you yell at people and threaten people over your political plans.

After Ms. Jessie questioned you in one meeting about why we were talking about baseball field use, within days she was hit by a FOIA request from a lawyer representing one of your good friends who also so happened to be a major campaign donor.

When the public questioned the Office of the AG opinion on why you couldn’t just select one of Trenum’s three choices, you verbally attacked the character of one of his nominees in a very public letter.

I first met that lady years ago when we both came to the school board meetings and stood on the other side of that podium. That lady just happens to be someone who has devoted more time and advocacy to educational issues in Prince William County School than you have since you started sitting in that chair.

When Ms. Raulston made it clear that she would be supporting one of Mr. Trenum’s proposed temporary replacements, your former campaign manager started two attack websites against Ms. Raulston; one of which is a recall petition site.

Your former campaign manager and one of your former paid staff members came into this chamber last meeting and verbally went after Ms. Raulston, during the public hearing, for the temporary replacement of the Brentsville representative, and accused her of illegal activity.

And when did those attack websites first showed up? It was the same weekend we had our August school board training session over learning how to function as a school board. That same session where most of us were participating, that same paid staff member from your campaign – we know he also posed as a reporter from a fake Prince William County news agency and sent emails to at least three of the four candidates for the temporary Brentsville replacement. He was seeking information and an interview.

Mr. Sawyers, I know you can be charming. I worked with you in Richmond as we lobbied for Prince William County Schools last winter, and I know you can be very effective in this job. The question is- do you want to [be]?

What we’ve seen so far is the antithesis of what a school board chairman should be, except for tonight. Mr. Chairman, I will applaud you for letting everyone speak tonight. It didn’t happen two weeks ago, but you did it, tonight, and I applaud you for that.

Instead of someone who is serving the people, we’ve seen you inclined to order everyone around. Quite frankly, in my opinion, you’ve been a bully. We’ve been speaking out against bullying tonight.

I believe you’ve created a culture of fear in the school system. My challenge to you tonight is – do you really want this job? Is this about serving all the people of Prince William County who elected you to lead as chairman at-large, or is this about making sensational headlines and paragraphs as you prepare to run for higher office?

Is this job truly about the kids and education for you, or not? Mr. Sawyers, I offered you my assistant when you were elected. I’ve shown you my respect, and, I’ve treated you professionally. For the most part, you’ve shown me exactly the same. I believe we can all work together on this board, and I think this board can turn around and can be successful. But, Mr. Sawyers, a lot of this is up to you. If you begin to take this position seriously, and treat it and the people around you with the respect that they deserve, [but, if you cannot] then, you know where the door is. Thank you."

Speech appeared in the Bristow Beat September 22, 2016

It is not proper to include homosexuals in with the civil rights laws written to protect individuals from discrimination based on race. Racial discrimination is different than not agreeing with the idea of homosexuality or other perverse acts taken by people. One should never confuse one with the other. It just contorts the entire law as it was originally intended. Homosexuality is just messed up and it will mess everything up for everyone. Don’t mess with it.

Am I allowed to say all of that, or is it currently illegal to express your opinion?

I never had a problem having muslim neighbors until one day when my girlfriend went outside in shorts and my mulims neighbor called her a white whore. After that my opinion of them changed. I still don't have a problem with them, but I now realize how deeply entrenched they are in their backward ideology that kills homosexuals, throws acid in women's faces and typically has no problem with hurting anyone that doesn't buy into their horrible doctrines.

We need some of this in Fairfax County. Why is Prince William County more engaged than Fairfax? It gives the impression they are more sophisticated.

It should be illegal to be that stupid. The men in white coats should come and take you away, for your own good and for the the good of society. Until those guys show up though, why don't you just go fuck yourself, you miserable assfuck pussy-derp.

True, but don't be TOO hard on them. The Trumpties are all in a foul mood today after the hapless performance of the howler monkey last night!

And you wonder why so many people think right-wingers are STOOPID. Remember when you guys were telling us that God intended the races to be separate? Yeah, you all thought that was a "simple" one too, worthless pile-of-shit dumbasses that you are.
