The Loudon County School Board defies the federal government on transgender policy

A move this week by the county of Loudon, in Virginia, to the school board to continue supporting transgender children to use facilities that do not correspond to their biological gender is the pre-procureurrier of the state elections.

“It is absolutely unacceptable,” said the candidate on Thursday at Lieutenant-Governor WinSome Earle-Sears, the republican candidate for the post of governor during this year’s elections. “Our girls are just not safe. Do we scare women now?”

The Ministry of Justice of the Administration of President Donald Trump demands that the Loudon County School District will repeal the policy and threaten $ 50 million in federal funding if the school board does not act on Friday.

But the school board, during a meeting on Tuesday evening, voted 6-3 to continue to challenge the Ministry of Justice by continuing to support the 8040 policy, which provides protections to transgender students.

The Ministry of Justice argues that the policy is in violation of the title IX, which is a federal law of half a century which prohibits sex discrimination in any program or education activity receiving federal funding.

The county of Loudon is one of the five school districts in northern Virginia which face the deadline on Friday, as well as public schools of Alexandria City, Arlington public schools, public schools of Prince William County and public schools of Fairfax.

Youngkin’s potential successor focused on the message in a difficult breed to maintain the “red” swing

The Ministry of Justice is responsible for school district policies, which give students the possibility of using school bathrooms and changing rooms according to gender identity and not their biological gender, violating title IX.

Sears, showing the republican scanning of offices across the state in the Virginia elections four years ago, said that school districts “have become thugs and apparently, they have not learned the lessons since 2021, when we have run for the first time, and they should not understand that parents still count.”

Republican governor Glenn Youngkin highlighted the rights of parents in the education of their children during his victory in 2021 in a state that had tilted blue for a dozen years.

The candidate of the Democratic Party 2025 for the governor of Virginia, the former representative Abigail Spanberger, went to social networks Wednesday following the meeting of the school board of the county of Loudon, to write “as a mother, I am so grateful for the working and dedicated school day who makes sure that our children have a safe, positive and productive school day”.

“As governor, I will make sure that our educators get the support they need to continue to provide world class education to our Commonwealth children,” a former CIA officer promised.

But Sears accused that Spanberger, who is the favorite of the November elections, plays on both sides of the problem.

“What she tries to do is have both ways, because she supported and voted for organic men in sports and bathrooms for girls”, when she underlined a vote spent at the Spanberger Congress.

“I want parents to know -” I’m in your corner “,” said Sears to Fox News.

And she argued that “Abigail Spanberger will not even intervene in the ring to fight for you.”
