US EditionAfter Investigation Into Loudoun Co. Schools’ Handling of Locker Room Incident, Miyares Refers Case to Federal Government
- Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares referred a Title IX investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools to federal education and justice departments on May 6, 2025.
- The referral came after allegations that Loudoun County Public Schools took retaliatory action against three boys at Stone Bridge High School who expressed faith-based concerns regarding Policy 8040, which permits transgender students to use facilities consistent with their gender identity.
- The incident, dating to March 19, involved a transgender student who secretly recorded the boys discussing discomfort about sharing a boys' locker room, violating LCPS rules prohibiting recording in such spaces.
- Miyares stated the investigation found misuse of authority by LCPS, with the boys targeted for their faith-based views and discomfort, and he condemned using Title IX to suppress free speech or religious beliefs.
- The referral requests further federal inquiry into potential Title IX abuses, retaliation, and viewpoint discrimination, highlighting ongoing community tension and calls for LCPS to adopt policies protecting student privacy and rights.
