Believes that when it comes to raising kids, the schools are better than the parents. Ashley strohmier is live in the New York City news room with some very strong reaction on this. Good evening.

This is because Fairfax County schools say they will define a new State Guidelines that require students to participate in activities consistent with their gender at birth. That means School Officials will also not follow guidelines that require official to inform parents if their child asks to change the name, or their gender identification. They will also allow students to play on sports teams in new facilities they believe best match with their socalled gender expression. School districts have a legal obligation to provide a Safe Learning environment that is inclusive of all students. And the 2023 model policies are fundamentally in tension with th
