Controversy marking the annual homecoming at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax, Virginia, has some students at odds with the county school system over the rules.

In a tweet sent out Wednesday, the Fairfax County Public School Student Union accused school leaders of discrimination for denying two male students the opportunity to be selected together as homecoming kings.

The group wrote that it was “deeply troubled and disappointed,” and the decision “directly influences all students of the LGBTQ+ community.”

Fairfax County Public Schools said the selection process is unchanged from previous years.

“Five male students and five female students will be presented as the homecoming court next month at a school pep rally. Students will select one king and one queen from the court,” John Torre, public information officer at Fairfax County Public Schools, said in a statement.

The school system’s statement went on to say that all homecoming court members may present either individually or as couples, accompanied by family members.

The student union has denounced the decision of selecting only one male and one female, calling it “traditional old school nuclear family type stuff that is outdated in 2018.”

Homecoming at Robinson Secondary was scheduled for this week but has been postponed a month because of Hurricane Florence.

If you don't like the County rule, then don't have a homecoming king and queen. Don't nominate. Don't hold the election. Don't vote in the election. If the school forces one on you, then skip the game. Empty stadium on homecoming game would have a far greater impact than a letter from the FCPSSU.

That's 80's conservative thinking. What is wrong with you?

Today, if you don't like something you must repeatedly tweet how hateful and discriminatory it is then violently protest, set shit on fire, scream everywhere you go carrying a sign and then set yourself on fire.

And that's just the first hour.

Early seventies liberal activism actually, but maybe the conservative high school kids in the eighties were following the same playbook.

If you hate your children enough to send them to public school this is the shit that will happen. Libtards say fuck science and math and teach kids that they don't have chromosomes and instead have 57 different make believe genders.

Fuck every libtard on Earth.

God bless all Americans.

So if the students vote for a straight guy and a mo, the straight guy is going to have to humiliate himself and take another dude to homecoming. Notice how these assholes make it all about themselves and their baby feelings, waaaah!

Trust me, the principal has the support of the majority of the school parents. These are just typical gays, causing a shitstorm and lying when they don't get their way. Their parents are even worse, putting bullshit out on social media that is completely false. The problem is, if you speak up against it, you are a bigot or a homophobe, so nobody says anything unless they are in a group they trust. I home these kids and parents become pariahs.

Homosexuality is disgusting and I thank this principal for making the correct decision.

Suicide attempts are alarmingly common among transgender individuals... 41% try to kill themselves at some point in their lives, compared with 4.6% of the general public. The numbers come from a study by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute, which analyzed results from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey.

Invest time, energy and money in counseling and psychiatric help. All this "gender fluidity" and "transgender" stuff is crap and does nothing other than confuse the kids even more.

Time to cancel the Home Coming Court because we cannot include everyone. So an ago old tradition must go.

Time to drop all the FCPS school names and start with PS001 and count from there.

Time to eliminate all the Science and Biology classes in FCPS, time for A La Carte make your own schedule of classes. Gender Studies, How To Use Sex Toys, All Inputs Are On The Menu, Juuling, Vaping, Tats and Piercings. How To Legalize Marijuana, Adderall & Sodomy. How To Spot And Avoid Conservatives, Heterosexuals and White Anglo Saxons. Sex Ed To Include Toys, Props And Devices. And so forth.

When will all the idiots grow a brain?

There are genetic facts, not choices.

Hormones impact development, but is it positive?

Focus on your character and not your genitalia. Stopping your exposure to FfxU will help you in this area.

Robinson Homecoming Kings Couldn't Be Chosen Together: Claim
Some students have criticized the school district for not allowing two homecoming kings to be chosen together.
By Emily Leayman, Patch Staff | Sep 13, 2018 11:09 am ET | Updated Sep 13, 2018 11:15 am ET

FAIRFAX, VA—Robinson Secondary School is facing backlash from students for reportedly denying two male students from being selected as homecoming kings together.

Jake Mitchell, one of the students who ran, sent out a tweet claiming the administration would not award he and his best friend Chris Parr the titles of homecoming kings.


Fairfax County Public Schools said in a statement the process of selecting a boy and girl for homecoming is the same as past years.

"Five male students and five female students will be presented as the homecoming court next month at a school pep rally. Students will select one king and one queen from the court," FCPS spokesperson John Torre told WTOP in a statement.

The FCPS Student Union tweeted out support for the two boys and called for a change in the homecoming selection process.
In a tweet, Mitchell ultimately apologized for calling out Principal Matthew Eline for the decision and criticized the overall homecoming court selection system. He called for the selection to be based on who gets the most votes, regardless of gender. "I spoke with Principal Eline, and he explained that he did not change the system BUT that the system in place doesn't allow for a king and a king to win (with the idea that it is fair to girls and boys to have one of each)," reads the post.

Why not just do away with the human aspect and elect animals at home coming?Purchase some rams and ewes from the farm and elect the best looking ones, crown them and parade them around.

I am sure that alphabet soup community could live with that without complaining.

Or will they complain that the animals are straight?

EE EYE EE I OH!!!

You are quibbling about word choice to hide the fact science doesn't support your XX-female XY-male only version of the world. It has been well established by science that human genetic genders are not limited to XX and XY. It has also been well established by science that even if you have someone with XY genes it also requires a timely hormone release for them to become anatomically fully male.

You say "Focus on your character and not your genitalia" but you mean "focus your character to reflect your genitalia". Medical science has progressed to the point where on many things we are no longer stuck with what nature gave us. Do you condemn the character of those who seek medical treatment to change their vision or their teeth? How about those who seek medical treatment to deal with unequal length legs? How about those who seek have cosmetic surgery or hair restoration treatments? Gender alteration is just the latest in that group, so why is it different? I couldn't imagine letting someone slice and dice me up down there and then pump chemicals into me to change my gender, but if medical science could figure out a way to make me three inches taller, I might consider it.
