Students Rally Against Transgender Bathroom Policy, Demand Equality

High school students at Woodgrove High School in Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) walked out in protest of the district's gender policy that allows non-binary, gender-fluid, and transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms based on their chosen gender. The students are advocating for a policy that provides female and male-only spaces, expressing concerns about privacy and safety. Some students feel ignored by the school board and believe their concerns are being dismissed. Counter-protesters in support of the bathroom policy also made their presence known. LCPS has not responded to requests for comment.

Loudoun County School Board Faces $30M Lawsuit Over Student's Rape

The family of a teenage girl who was raped in a high school bathroom is suing Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia for $30 million, alleging that the school district failed to adequately investigate and attempted to cover up the sexual assault. The lawsuit claims that the district lied to the public to advance its controversial transgender bathroom policy. The attacker, who was charged and barred from returning to the school, was later transferred to another school in the district where he sexually assaulted another girl. A grand jury report criticized the district for its handling of the assaults, and the former superintendent was fired after being found guilty of retaliatory firing. The U.S. Department of Education has opened an investigation into the district's handling of the sexual assaults.
