Concerned parents  are asking questions about a controversial Women’s History Month display created by students at a Virginia high school that included a section titled “A is for Abortion.”

West Springfield High School, located in Fairfax County, started displaying the student-led alphabetic exhibit called “The ABCs to Me” in its hallway in March. 

The “A for Abortion” section included an image of a coat hanger and a positive pregnancy test. 

A description of the project stated that “the Women’s History class is celebrating and bringing awareness to what it means to be a young woman today at West Springfield High School and in the world.” 

In addition to the “A for Abortion” sections students were also presented with an image of the Statue of Liberty holding a female symbol in place of her torch, and surrounded by transgender, Ukrainian, and Palestinian flags, as part of a section titled “J is for Justice.”

Conservative news outlets who picked up on the story, including Fox News and The Daily Signal, also questioned the political leanings of the display as the “L is for Leadership” section of the alphabetic display featured prominent Democratic Party women, including Kamala Harris, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and Michelle Obama.

The display also showcased two letters representing the LGBTQ community: “Q” stood for “Queer,” and “T” represented “Trans Women.” The “T” was illustrated with a transgender flag within the female symbol.

West Springfield High School parent Stephanie Lundquist-Arora shared an email between herself and Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), Dr. Michelle Reid with Fox News. 

A chapter leader of the conservative Independent Women’s Network, Lundquist-Arora, emailed Reid to question why the “obscene display” was still hanging in the school’s history hallway. She argued that it seemed to violate the district’s “controversial issues policy.”

In her email, Reid wrote: “Often, women’s history is excluded from traditional history texts and instruction. I respect the right of our students to respectfully share their honest, comprehensive historical perspective that is relevant to them as young adults and in keeping with the assignment guidance and expectations. This is critical thinking — an integral part of our educational experience for our soon-to-be graduating high school students.”

Stephanie Lundquist-Arora’s statement to Fox News included: “The ABCs to Me display is what happens at the intersection of politicized teaching and biased district leadership. The teacher and administrators are using students to amplify their own divisive political messages while silencing other students’ voices. Such viewpoint discrimination is unprofessional, immoral, and violates students’ civil rights and their parents’ rights to direct their children’s upbringing and education.”
