Insanity In Loudoun County, Virginia

On Tuesday, Townhall posted an article about two teenage boys who complained about girls being in their high school locker room.

The article reports:

Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) is suspending two male high school students for complaining about a trans-identified girl using boys’ locker rooms.

LCPS began investigating the matter, which occurred at Stone Bridge High School, back in May. The Virginia school district has a policy allowing students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their chosen gender identity.

The father of one of the boys told 7News in May that he was “concerned” about the matter. He stated that the district was investigating his son and another boy to find out whether they had committed sexual harassment by complaining about the female who was using the boys’ locker room.

“And other boys were uncomfortable [with a female in the boys’ locker room],” he told the news outlet. “There were other boys asking the same question. They [LCPS] created a very uncomfortable situation. They’re young, they’re 15 years old. They’re expressing their opinions, and now they’re being targeted for expressing those opinions.”

The female student had been using the boys’ locker room for an extended period of time. In March, she used her phone to record the two boys and their friends in the locker room. “I have a daughter that’s in high school as well, and if there was a male in there videotaping her in the locker room, I would have issues,” the father said.

First of all, cell phones need to be banned from high school locker rooms. High school students are not yet adults and sometimes do dumb things. Don’t tempt them.

The article concludes:

This is how far these people are willing to go to compel the rest of us to pretend that men can become women and vice versa. This action isn’t only about the two boys, but about anyone else who might speak out. This harsh response is intended to send a message: Shut up about gender ideology or we will ruin you.

This is part and parcel of how the authoritarian left approaches the issues. Since they know their views on gender are not popular, they know persuasion won’t work. So they have to resort to using the government to force their will on sane Americans. This is how these people function — and why they must never be in a position to control the government. What happened to these kids shows exactly why they cannot have power.

Any federal funding that goes to that school district needs to be cut.

Justice Comes To Loudoun County

On Monday, National Review reported the following:

Loudoun County Public Schools former superintendent Scott Ziegler and public information officer Wayde Byard were indicted by a special grand jury amid an eight-month investigation into the district’s mishandling of two sexual assault cases. 

A Loudoun County judge unsealed the indictments on Monday. 

Ziegler was charged with one count of false publication, one count of prohibited conduct, and one count of penalizing an employee for a court appearance. The special grand jury issued indictments against the former superintendent on June 14 and September 28 for offenses that allegedly happened June 7 and June 22. 

Byard was charged with a count of felony perjury. The indictment against Byard was issued September 28 for an offense that allegedly happened on August 2.

The case involved the sexual assault of a female student by a ‘gender fluid’ male student that happened in the ladies’ room. The male student was then transferred to another school where he forced a female student into an empty classroom and sexually assaulted her. Obviously, if the first case of sexual assault had been properly handled, the second case would not have happened.

The article concludes:

“There were several decision points for senior LCPS administrators, up to and including the superintendent, to be transparent and step in and alter the sequence of events leading up to the October 6, 2021 BRHS sexual assault,” the grand jury report reads. “They failed at every juncture.”

The grand jury found the second assault “could have, and should have, been prevented.”

The initial assault in the girls bathroom drew attention to the district’s policy of allowing transgender students to access bathrooms and locker rooms that align with “their consistently asserted gender identity.” The policy was not officially adopted until shortly after the alleged bathroom assault.

The victim’s father spoke out against the policy at a school board meeting, where he was told there was no record of a sexual assault occurring in the bathroom. The father was forcibly escorted out of the meeting by police.

It’s up to parents to protect their children. It is becoming obvious that in the name of political correctness our schools are putting our children at risk.
