As Youngkin talks to a national audience about his education record, let's remember how he treats Queer students. He wants to:

❌ Forcibly out students
❌ Implement a trans bathroom ban
❌ Misgender and deadname students

Students are fighting back. Retweet if you're with us.

If ACPS can say it, so can Fairfax County Public Schools. Indeed, the violence against trans students and allies who stood for the right thing on Tuesday in their protest underscores the need to end the habit of appeasing bullies.

I am incredibly proud of my fellow students within the PLP. Our work is hard, but we will continue to fight. Keep your head in the game, and remember your safety and happiness are the goals! You are your own best ally.
