Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears condemned Loudoun County Public Schools for deciding to punish boys who complained about a girl using their locker room, and urged outraged parents to support her campaign for governor in the November election.
“We’re talking about three boys, three young boys, who have been punished because they were … saying they were not comfortable having to undress in front of girls,” Earle-Sears, a Republican, said at a press conference at Stone Bridge High School on Wednesday. “This school system has decided they are going to use the parents’ own tax money against them and punish these boys.”
“What are we supposed to do now?” she asked. “Well, I’ll tell you what we can do. There are things called elections.”
Earle-Sears noted that she and Gov. Glenn Youngkin won their elections in 2021 amid a parental rights movement that grew in part in response to another Loudoun County transgender scandal that year.
