Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced on Tuesday that the
state will investigate Loudoun County Public Schools following a media
report that the school division launched a Title IX investigation after
three high school boys said they felt “uncomfortable” when a
biologically female student changed clothes in a boys’ locker room and recorded their discussion about it.
Loudoun’s school policy allows students to use bathrooms and locker
rooms based on their gender identification instead of their biological
sex. But Seth Wolfe, the parent of one of the three boys, said his
15-year-old son is being “unfairly targeted for simply asking a basic question that any boy would be asking in that situation.”
“It’s astonishing that Loudoun school officials are subjecting him to a formal investigation for a bogus charge that could derail his life,”
Wolfe said in a statement released by the Founding Freedoms Law Center,
which is representing the student.
In a WJLA report on Tuesday, Wolfe criticized LCPS for investigating his
son and the other students for expressing their discomfort with the male-identifying student being in the boys’ locker room and said the division’s bathroom policy creates an “unsafe environment” for all students. An attorney with the law center confirmed with the Mercury
that Wolfe was the unidentified parent in WJLA’s report.
On May 6, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced that he asked Miyares to
investigate the case to ensure the school division is upholding every student’s privacy, dignity and safety.
“It’s deeply concerning to read reports of yet another incident in
Loudoun County schools where members of the opposite sex are violating
the privacy of students in locker rooms,” Youngkin said in a statement. “Even more alarming, the victims of this violation are the ones being investigated — this is beyond belief.”
Miyares added that the case “is just the latest example of what happens
when school boards disregard common sense. The safety, dignity, and
privacy of every student in Virginia should be non-negotiable. This is
about safety and privacy, not political correctness — and it’s time
Loudoun County recognized that.”
