A Virginia high school is facing fierce backlash after putting up an alphabet display for Women’s History Month that highlighted abortion and the transgender flag.
West Springfield High School, in Fairfax County, put up the controversial ABCs display in March, reported The Daily Signal.
Shocking images from the project include a poster that stated, ‘A is for Abortion’ and showed a pregnancy test and a coat hanger.
The first letter alone prompted sharp criticism online from concerned community members who felt the project was politicizing women’s history.
‘Titled “ABCs to Me,” the letter “A” is not for a notable woman of history such as Aviator Amelia Earhart; rather, “A is for Abortion,” accompanied by an image of a coat hanger and a positive pregnancy test. I am not ok with this, and no one should be!’ one person said.
‘The A is a picture of a hanger and a pregnancy test. What in the H is wrong with this school? Fire this person or shut this place down,’ said another.
A third person added, ‘A is for athleticism or a is for achievement or a is for aspirations. No, they went with abortion. Because that defines a woman?’
‘How about A is for Apple and T is for turtle? We must protect the children’s innocence,’ said a fourth.
