American First Legal (AFL) sent a letter Thursday to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Education (ED) calling on them to investigate five Virginia school districts for allegedly failing to protect girls’ spaces.
The public school systems of Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William, all located in Northern Virginia, allegedly have policies that allow children to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their gender identity in violation of federal law, the letter claims. President Donald Trump’s administration has made it clear that Title IX, a rule meant to protect women and girls from discrimination, would be interpreted based on biological sex, while women and girls must be protected from “gender ideology extremism” that allows boys to intrude on their protected spaces.
