FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Five of Virginia’s largest public school districts refused to end their policy allowing students to use sensitive facilities not aligned with their biological sex, setting them up to lose millions in federal funding.
The board governing Loudoun County Public Schools voted 6-3 this week to defy the Education and Justice Departments by continuing to back Policy 8040. The policy, adopted in 2021, allows students to use the locker rooms and restrooms that correspond with their gender identity, meaning a biological male or female who has transitioned to the opposite sex can use facilities that do not match their biological sex.
Fairfax County Public Schools, Prince William County Public Schools, Arlington Public Schools, and Alexandria City Public Schools all additionally have not agreed to the Trump administration’s demands.
“Astonishingly, Loudoun County Public Schools—ground zero for social experimentation in the Commonwealth—have decided to double down on their maintenance of gender-neutral bathrooms and sacrifice the privacy and safety of young women in the process,”Sarah Parshall Perry, Vice President of Defending Education, said.
“Virginia’s girls deserve better,” she added. “We look forward to the Administration’s enforcement efforts to secure compliance with the plain text of Title IX by all means available to it.”
