The richest county in America and the heavily indebted federal government that largely made it rich are going to the mattresses over whether students have the legal right to use opposite-sex restrooms and locker rooms in public schools, paralleling the response by the richest university in America to the Trump administration’s conditions for unfreezing its federal funding.
Loudoun County Public Schools is endangering its federal funding by spurning an Education Department order for the second time in four months, this time the July 25 demand to rescind its affirmation of gender identity over sex pertaining to “intimate facilities” and sports and define “male” and “female” by biology in Title IX-related practices.
The Tuesday night school board meeting, which wrapped up overnight, drew a “huge turnout,” according to a local reporter. “The only trans policy you don’t promote is transparency,” one parent testified among the dozens who lined up for public comment, WJLA.com reported.
The parents and activists outraged by the 6-3 vote to reject the DOE demand, some of them close to the Trump administration, promised to fight on.
“The bathroom/locker room policies in Loudoun County and elsewhere in NOVA [northern Virginia] will be dead and buried by this time next year,” predicted America First Legal senior adviser Ian Prior, recounting its years of fights with the district over reported sexual assaults stemming from the gender identity policy.
