The concern of boys on the girl using their locker room fell on “deaf ears”, say the parents

A pair of parents from Virginia say that their sons, who were suspended and found responsible for sexual harassment after asking why a biological woman used the boys’ changing rooms, received no official ways to express discomfort with the transgender cloakroom policy.

Parents Renae Smith and Seth Wolfe say that unclear policies and poor communication from the District of the Public Schools of the county of Loudoun led to the decision of title IX and to a 10 -day suspension for boys. They say that their children have never been informed of how to communicate potential concerns concerning the transgender changes in the district or pronoun policy, and parents have never been informed of how to help their children understand them.

Earlier this year, the Loudoun County School District launched an investigation into sexual harassment on the two boys after being recorded on a biological woman who identified as transgender inside the boys’ locker room. The video attracted them externally complaining to each other because there was a girl using their facilities.

Smith, Wolfe and their lawyer, Josh Hetzler, said that the boys had tried to speak to the administrators to alert their discomfort with a biological woman using their locker room. However, the concerns fell into the ears of a deaf, they said.

“There was an incident earlier in the year one of the students involved in this went to another administration and was uncomfortable. They were almost simply said:” It’s like that and accept it “, and they are not supposed to say anything,” Wolfe reported to Fox News Digital.

“The more we look at each other, no adult has ever said to these boys how to communicate with this individual. How to use the pronouns that are appropriate. They have never given us as parents’ possibilities to even talk to our children.”

“I specifically asked my son what they had done to prepare them for this type of situation and the answer was absolutely nothing,” added Smith. “If you are going to implement this paper policy, you better have a strategy for this in class.”

In response to the accusations that boys’ complaints fell into the ears of a deaf, the district disputed that he had never suspended a student “simply because they expressed a kind of discomfort”.

“At no time do the LCP suspend a student simply because he expressed a kind of discomfort,” said district spokesperson Dan Adams, in Fox News Digital. “A reading of our title IX resources should clearly indicate that there is a high bar to launch an investigation by the title IX and an even higher bar to determine that a student is in violation of the title IX.”

Fox News Digital answered questions about what the district accumulated boys of discomfort expression but did not hear.

In addition to the confusing nature of the current school controversy, Smith told Fox News Digital that she thought that the allegations themselves were also confusing.

“I think the allegations themselves give a lot of confusion,” said Smith. “Like, how can we get to sexual harassment based on someone who asks why there is a girl in their locker room?”

Smith also asked why the other student, who filmed the boys, was not disciplined in the same way.

Smith and Wolfe, as well as their lawyer, appeal to the IX decision of the public schools of the county of Loudoun, who found their children responsible for sexual harassment and suspended them for 10 days. While Smith put his child outside the state, Wolfe’s son was able to attend the first days of the school because the call put a grip on the suspensions of the boys.

The lawyer for boys from Freeding Freedoms Center said they are now associating with another law group, America First Legal, to bring legal action.

Families and their lawyers intend to exhaust all the avenues to try to overthrow the District Title IX decision to find their sons responsible for sexual harassment, who, according to them, will have long -term impacts on their children, in particular when it comes to entering college.

However, Hetzler said he was not hoping that their call would overthrow anything.

“I do not know who is the exact person who makes the appeal decision. I have the impression that it is a fairly united group overall in the public schools of the county of Loudoun, so I do not expect a different result,” said Hetzler. “In the end, I think we will have to continue them. I think we are going to have to go to a federal court. And if we go to a federal court, the Ministry of Justice will have the opportunity to intervene in the case.”

Hetzler noted that they would like to avoid going to court, but said “reality is that at each moment along the way, when Loudoun’s county had the opportunity to do the right thing, they always seem to do the bad thing.”

“We would like Loudoun to do the right thing and avoid (court), but we must prevent these boys from being suspended, because once they are suspended and they are missing school, you cannot find this bell,” said Hetzler. “So, we will prevent this, then we try to make sure that it is rubbed with their file, because they should never have sexual harassment on title IX on their file to simply complain of a girl in their locker room.”
