Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) is planning to suspend two boys who voiced their concerns earlier this year about a girl who identifies as male using their locker room and illegally filming them. The district launched a Title IX investigation against the boys and alleged that they committed sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination by asking why a girl was in the boys’ locker room with them.
Local journalist Nick Minock reported that LCPS is punishing the boys with “ten days of suspension and a no-contact order with the complainant, including not being able to be in any of the same classes.” The boys must also “meet with school administrators to determine a corrective action plan.”
During a rally outside a school board meeting for Arlington Public Schools (APS), Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, who is also the Republican nominee for governor this November, blasted LCPS administrators for targeting the boys and their families. APS is another northern Virginia school district that is defying Title IX and allowing students to use restroom and locker room facilities that correspond with their “gender identity” rather than their biological sex.
“It is time for everyone to recognize what is settled truth: Girls are girls, and boys are boys,” Sears said. “Here we are, we’re talking about three boys who have been punished because they were trying to do the noble thing and say they were not comfortable having to undress in front of girls. Normally, we would applaud that. Instead, this school system has decided they are going to use the parents’ own tax money against them and punish these boys – and now these young men are branded with a label no parent wants them to have, which is boys who have sexually harassed [someone].”
One parent, Renae Smith, pulled her son out of the school district over the summer because of the investigation and moved to a different state. LCPS has stated he will be suspended if he returns.
“[We’re] absolutely floored that they came back and branded my son responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination with no solid evidence whatsoever,” Smith said. “We’re talking about scarring him for life by a biased process that’s supposed to protect fairness, but it’s shocking. It’s wrong, and it should terrify every single parent.”
The Founding Freedoms Law Center is representing the two boys and their families against LCPS. The law center is the legal arm of the Christian organization known as The Family Foundation. Victoria Cobb, who serves as the organization’s president, stated that LCPS administrators gave the boys a suspension to push a political agenda.
“Our clients have done nothing wrong, and they deserve to be deemed innocent,” Cobb said. “We’ve seen time and time again that Loudoun County, if given the opportunity to do the right thing, will instead do the wrong thing. LCPS, once again, shows that it is willing to harm students in the name of woke ideology.”
As AMAC Newsline previously reported, the story began in May when LCPS launched an investigation into three boys who said that they were uncomfortable with a biological girl using the boys’ locker room with them and filming them, a clear violation of state and federal law, as well as district policy. LCPS board policy “allows students to use bathrooms and locker rooms according to their gender identification, rather than biological sex.”
Minock reported at the time that the incident occurred at Stone Bridge High School – the same school where a boy who claimed to be “genderfluid” raped a female student in 2021, a crime which LCPS attempted to cover up.
The female student involved in this case began using the boys’ locker room earlier this year during the spring term. After a gym class in March, the girl used her phone in the locker room to record the boys saying they were uncomfortable with her being there, which is a clear violation of district policy that prohibits video recording in bathrooms and locker rooms.
Rather than investigate the girl, the district targeted the boys. Only two of the three boys were given a suspension. An investigation into one of the boys was reportedly dropped in June. This boy was Muslim. The two boys who received the suspension were Christian.
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares investigated the issue and found that the district retaliated against the boys for voicing their concerns based on religious objections. He referred the case to the Department of Education and the Department of Justice.
Families of the suspended boys and their supporters held a news conference outside Stone Bridge High School on Wednesday. The Founding Freedoms Law Center announced that they were partnering with America First Legal to fight back. One attorney representing the boys, Josh Hetzler, stated that they had “filed a Title IX appeal with LCPS, which thankfully paused the suspension for now.” He stated that they will “have no choice but to pursue swift legal action in the coming days” if LCPS does not back down.

These school officials are just plain evil. They should be permanently removed from the school system and subject to criminal prosecution. These boys should file a civil suit against them and the school system and be justly compensated for their suffering.
We are in a crazy world. Why hasn’t this awful district been defunded? This is sick and absurd.
Who in their right mind could support this crap of saying girls can be boys and boys can be girls, it takes a twisted mind to believe that. Satan has sure done a job on them.
The only way this might stop is if parents win lawsuit. Start taking money away from schools for board being stupid. Glad I retired from teaching long ago because education keeps getting worse, not better. I really feel for the students.
Were I an attorney I would be suing the individual board members for major money and do it pro bono. Come on lawyers let’s step up and make these woke members put an end to this nonsense.
Lowdown County is full of EVIL LUNATICS. I bet the parents of the suspended boys will be prevented from attending the next school board meeting. As I posted in a similar AMAC article, President Trump’s administration needs to come down HARD on this rotten filth by withholding funding and prosecuting these slimeballs
Not only Sue the school but administrators by name and school board members. Hit their pocketbook
All the school officials pushing acts against children’s safety should be charged accordingly. Surely there are laws dealing with such behavior against children, who will stand up for them, protect them from criminals and pedophiles when parents trying to do that are criminalized. Where are the rights of kids, they are not the objects of amusement for sickos.
Where are all the parents in this? Are they too busy trying make a living to join together and shut down the school? Maybe their just afraid of officials who believe their God. Heaven forbid that most parents actually think this is okay.
Evil is in this world. Everything is upside down. Forgive us Lord, for we have sinned.
Why were only the 2 christian boys charged? Why wasn’t the muslim boy also charged? How is only charging christians while not charging a muslim not discrimination?
Typical double standard that works against males. Where are all the feminists who demand equal rights for all when this nonsense happens??
I see Major Lawsuits against this school in the future unless of course those allowing this are arrested for defying Federal Law!
This is evil and morally wrong. Schools are meant to educate—not enable nonsense. Phones should be taken away during school hours and returned only after the last class.
And let’s be clear: no girl—trans or otherwise—should ever be in boys’ spaces.
The wrong party is facing discipline here. Parents need to stand up and back their sons loudly and without hesitation!
What a sad state we live in. Girls shouldn’t be in boys locker rooms, PERIOD. The boys complaints are valid, but these sick school officials should be immediately fired a d held criminally responsible for harming the boys mental state. What happened to this world? Bring normal back.
Where is Truth Social to share your articles with?
The parents of these boys need to sue the school, the principal, the administrators, the school district, and the State for BILLIONS for these insane, warped, left-win, and absurd charges. It’s well past time for these radical left-wing, law-defying district to be brought to their knees and demand ALL involved in the suspension, and spineless cowards who went along with this sick and perverted case be FIRED.
Further, the boys should be elected to Student Body Presidents.
Why is this happening under Virginia Republican Governor Youngkin?
My opinion? For allowing their political woke ideologies, to rule school behaviors, LCPS should be shuttered, until a new school administration is declared. Woke ideology can NOT succeed in a free country. Allowing boys to be claimed girls, and girls claimed to be boys because the student deems it so. Such nonsense would be humorous if it weren’t what the progressive left is pushing as correct. It is a stupid asinine concept that can NOT be allowed to exist in schools or in any part of society … it helps no one and harms everyone.
Loudoun County Public Schools need to be dismantled, they are more than dangerous than mindless heathens’. This nation is imploding by resorting to practices of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The school District needs to pay huge monetary damages and clear the boys record. The fine has to be big enough that it hurts enough to make them think twice about complying with American Culture. It would help if the administrator recommending the action against the boys and letting the Muslim offender off be held personally liable and fined as well.
is there any intelligence in the state of virginia??
I suspect that this school district will absolutely back down with all of the publicity this case is garnering! They will ultimately be exposed for the absolute evil cowards that they truly are and quickly retreat!
i can think of many many more pronouns for the girls that are much more accurate.
This is exactly what you get when this kind of lunacy is allowed to happen. Whatever born gender you are is the bathroom or locker room you use, period. My hope is that the families of these boys sue the school system as well as brining civil suits against all involved for mental anguish.
Time for President Trump put Laws into effect which defines an individual by their Biological Birth, period! And, according to your Biological Birth that is for your Life on Earth as to your True Identification. Thereby, a boy or Adult Male and a girl or Adult Female will be amongst your own , whether in Sports, Locker Rooms, Public Restrooms, Public Dressing Rooms, ect. And, Males and Females must disclose their True Biological Gender in Dating and Social Norms when deemed necessary. Lets get this done immediately!
It’s illegal to take pictures of any type in any locker room by anyone. That was the real crime and it didn’t seem to get addressed.
So much for 1st amendment rights. This issue should help Lt.Governor Winsome Earle- Sears win handsomely. It seems this Virginia school just can’t quite let go of the woke agenda. Hopefully it will cost them dearly, and these boys will win in court big time.
Damn that pisses me off! I’ll try my best to leave out the profanity that describes what I think of this. When I was in high school, I was a drug using juvenile criminal who was very lucky not to get locked up. If that would of happened to me, or any of our friends, we would have burned the school down that night. Sounds like those kids need to stage some riots and give the sicko leftists administrators a taste of their own BS. Parents should pull their kids out of school, or participate and help students riot and tear down the school. If the school won’t follow the law, why should the students and their parents? I would even go as far as recommending violence acts against administrators and school board members who support this policy of depraved sick sexual deviation and mentally ill students being forced on the decent students. I sure hope Trumps DOJ gets involved before any decent people get in trouble for doing what we all know should be done.
I’m speechless! This is beyond imagination! Massively hypocritical! I will be praying for God to help Winsome to win all! Shame on Virginia!
Seems there is one thing missing from the comments–the girl was ILLEGALLY FILMING the boys with her cell phone. Why did the school not suspend her for that? If a boy had been filming the other boys would that have been allowed? Good luck to the parents of these boys, may their lawsuits be successful.
Sue, sue,sue!
I would like to know how many parents are okay with all of this who live in this county. If I were a parent in that area I would form a group and attempt to get parents to not send their children to school untill the stupid policies of this county are revoked. When the schools ADA is negatively affected then they will stop their stupidity.
The boys must also “meet with school administrators to determine a corrective action plan.” All the parents need to “meet the school administrators to determine a corrective action plan” for the administrators instead of one for these young men. I mean really, how stupid do you have to be to punish guys for a girl violating school policy by filming them? Convoluted (AKA Sick) reasoning by the so-called administrators.
“Back down” or not, this lawsuit needs to go to court and that school district needs to be made an example of. Damages have been occurred and restitution is owed. This political DEI has to stop.
Futhermore, Why was the Muslim let off the hook? More political influence.
Our schools are filled with damn socialist/communist, the school boards and teachers need to be scrubbed clean of these anti-American CREEPS, I am so glad my Kids are not in school’s anywhere now.
As I teacher, I am appalled at this decision. This boy was clearly in error filming them yet received no discipline? Our students are not safe from the adults who are supposed to be protecting them.
