Dozens of students at Woodgrove High School in Loudoun County, Virginia, staged a walkout to protest Policy 8040, which allows transgender, nonbinary, and gender-fluid students to use bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. The students expressed concerns about privacy and safety, stating that the policy made them feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin praised the students for standing up and encouraged voters to elect a new school board. The district stated that the policy is under review. Loudoun County has been a hotbed of protest on the issue since a student was sexually assaulted by a boy in a skirt.
