A high school in the Loudoun County, Virginia school district recently suspended for ten days two boys who had “questioned” whether a biological female should be in their locker room.
The female student, who “identifies” as a male, recorded her encounter with the boys at Stone Bridge High School back in May, WJLA reports.
After she showed administrators her recording, the two boys were deemed by the district’s Title IX Office as “responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination.”
In addition to the suspensions, the boys were given a “no-contact” order regarding the (female) student, and were required to “meet with school administrators to determine a corrective action plan.”
The punishments “officially” were handed down August 15, according to lawyer Josh Hetzler, who represents the two boys.
Loudoun County Public Schools announced earlier this month that it would not change its “Policy 8040,” or “Rights of Transgender and Gender-Expansive Students,” despite a finding by the U.S. Dept. of Education that its “bathroom and locker room policies violate Title IX.”
