Share this @internewscast.com

Two Virginia teen students are being suspended after they were recorded on video questioning why a female student who identifies as male was in the boys locker room.

The Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) is suspending the Stone Bridge High School students for 10 days following a Title IX investigation into the incident earlier this year, attorney Josh Heltzer, who represents the boys’ families, told 7News.

Heltzer said that LCPS found the boys to be responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination in a case that has sparked a furious response from parents the boys’ parents as well as Virginia’s attorney general, who has argued that the school agency’s process was biased and retaliatory.

Miyares said the footage did not show discriminatory or derogatory behavior, but rather the boys asking the student recording them to leave.

The video was recorded by the trans student.

While it is illegal to record inside locker rooms, an LCPS official confirmed to Fox 5 DC in May that none of the boys appeared in compromising positions in the video and, therefore, it was determined that no privacy laws were violated.

The LCPS told Fox News Digital that it does not publicly discuss private student matters. A spokesperson said that the school system “has a comprehensive and objective process for Title IX investigations.”

The Founding Freedoms Law Center, which has been representing the families in this case, said it will keep fighting the case until this determination is overturned. 

“The Founding Freedoms Law Center is working with our clients on next steps, but we are not going to let these boys go down without a fight; we’re going to stand with them all the way till they are innocent,” Victoria Cobb, the president of the Family Foundation of Virginia, told 7News.

“Our clients have done nothing wrong and they deserve to be deemed innocent,” Cobb said. 

The incident is not the first to draw national on LCPS. It made national headlines in 2021 when a father was arrested and hauled out of a board meeting for speaking out about the sexual assault of his daughter by a trans student at a local school.

LCPS also spent $11 million on adding gender-neutral single-occupancy restrooms in nine schools in the district.

“We’ve seen time and time again that Loudoun County, if given the opportunity to do the right thing, will instead do the wrong thing,” Cobb said. 

“LCPS, once again, shows that it is willing to harm students in the name of woke ideology, while every student is harmed when they do things like deny federal funds to kids’ education. These boys, in particular, are being made examples of what happens when someone crosses school indoctrination.”
