Woke Virginia school district investigates boys uncomfortable with girl in their locker room: Report



The woke public school district in Loudoun County, Virginia, has for years been a key battleground in the war over gender ideology, the primary victims of which have been children. For instance, a skirt-wearing male who identified as "non-binary" took advantage of Loudoun County Public Schools' ideological capture in 2021, entered the girls' restroom, and raped a 15-year-old female student.

While students and parents have spoken out against the invasion of female spaces by opportunistic boys, gender-bending incursions in the district are not unidirectional.

A female transvestite has reportedly been using the boys' locker room at Stone Bridge High. Following a gym class in March, she allegedly videotaped three boys in the locker room who were discussing their discomfort over her presence.

In a bizarre twist, LCPS has launched a Title IX investigation into the boys for supposed sexual harassment, reported WJLA-TV.

'They're expressing their opinions, and now they're being targeted for expressing those opinions.'

"We're concerned," a father of one of the boys under investigation for supposed sexual harassment told WJLA. "He was questioning why there was a female in the males' locker room."

"And other boys were uncomfortable [with a female in the boys' locker room]," continued the father. "There were other boys asking the same question. They [LCPS] created a very uncomfortable situation. They're young; they're 15 years old. They're expressing their opinions, and now they're being targeted for expressing those opinions."

According to the father, the boys weren't directly interacting with the female student but were rather "having a conversation with their peer group."

"I don't think my son should be punished for expressing his First Amendment right and being able to ask questions," said the father. "If you were to get a sexual harassment charge on your record, even at a young age, I'm sure that's going to follow you around."

The father also questioned why the transvestic student isn't facing serious consequences for allegedly filming minors in a locker room, especially when LCPS policy explicitly prohibits photography, audio, or video recording in bathrooms, locker rooms, changing areas, and clinics.

"I have a daughter that's in high school as well, and if there was a male in there videotaping her in the locker room, I would have issues," the father told WJLA. "If it's my son and there's a female in the locker room videotaping, I have issues. Even if it was somebody of the same sex, I believe that this is an invasion of their privacy."

The father wants the woke district to drop its Title IX complaint against the boys and suggested it should also axe "Policy 8040: Rights of Transgender and Gender-Expansive Students," which the Loudoun County School Board approved on Aug. 11, 2021.

'Their policies run afoul of President Trump's January 29, 2025, executive order.'

"I think the policy itself creates an unsafe environment for all kids at all levels, from the elementary schools and middle school to the high school," said the father. "I think it creates an unsafe and unclear message for them. I think by not having clear policies in line with the presidential mandates that it has actually created these hostile environments and environments that these young boys and young girls do not feel comfortable in."

The district's policy not only requires schools to allow "gender-expansive or transgender students to use their chosen name and gender pronouns that reflect their consistently asserted gender identity without any substantiating evidence," but to also allow students to "use the facility that corresponds to their consistently asserted gender identity."

LCPS may not ultimately have a choice in whether it drops the policy.

On Feb. 3, America First Legal submitted a Title IX complaint to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights alleging that the "transgender" policies embraced by LCPS and other districts in Virginia "provide greater rights to students whose 'gender identity' does not match their biological sex than it does to students whose 'gender identity' matches their biological sex.'"

Ian Prior, senior adviser at AFL, added, "The policies of the five Northern Virginia public school systems have eliminated the protections that Title IX requires of K-12 institutions that accept federal funding, and their policies run afoul of President Trump's January 29, 2025, executive order."

The OCR responded a week later, indicating it would investigate the schools for possible Title IX violations.

This is not the only fight with the federal government the district has on its hands.

Loudoun County Superintendent Aaron Spence notified the Trump administration last month that LCPS would not submit a certification affirming that the district follows federal anti-discrimination law and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on race.

WJLA indicated that neither Spence nor any of the school board members have responded to its requests for comment regarding the investigation into the boys' apparent discomfort over the transvestite in their locker room.

'So open-minded their brain falls out.'

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) said in response to the woke district's investigation, "This is exactly why these schools should be adopting Governor Youngkin's model policies."

In July 2023, the Virginia Department of Education released its final Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools, which not only emphasize parents' rights "to make decisions with respect to their children," but require schools to use students' real names; refer to students with the pronouns in accordance with the sex indicated on their official record unless given a formal written request by parents; and require that students use sex-segregated school facilities that correspond with their biological sex.

"What you reported I find to be outrageous — that these young boys presumably felt uncomfortable," Miyares told WJLA. "They're 15 years old. We all were teenagers at one point. I can't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have a member of the opposite sex in the locker room where people were obviously changing clothes and then later, on top of that, recording it."

"Even though they're the victims in this, somehow, they're being treated as perpetrators. I think this is an example, yet again, [of] a school district that tries to be so open-minded their brain falls out," added the state AG, borrowing a quote from the English author G.K. Chesterton.

"If this was 20 years ago, nobody in their right mind would think this was a smart policy. Yet here we are today," added Miyares.

The Virginia AG hinted there was little that either his or Governor Glenn Youngkin's offices presently could do about the matter — especially given the Virginia Human Rights Act's carve-out for educational institutions — and stressed that the Trump administration's investigation will be "critically important."

Miyares noted further that the new Loudoun County School Board should take a vote on Policy 8040 so that parents know where members stand when it comes to letting transvestites slip into the opposite sex's locker rooms and bathrooms.

Bound and brutalized kidnapping victim seen climbing out of trunk of car wreck in Seattle



A 63-year-old man's car was stolen and wrecked in northeastern Seattle last week. Even more troubling was that he was beaten, bound, and placed in the trunk first.

Police received multiple reports of a collision in the Ravenna neighborhood early Thursday morning after a vehicle careened into a residence in the 7200 block of 27th Avenue NE.

Seattle Police Officer Judinna Gulpan indicated that witnesses observed a man climbing out of the trunk of the vehicle, which suspects had driven into the home of Brooks Mierow.

Mierow noticed the wreck begin smoking shortly after the crash. Upon seeing the fire responsible for the smoke spread to his home, Mierow evacuated the location, reported KING-TV.

"I got my kids to get their shoes and coats on and get out of the house, I got the dog, and then fired another fire extinguisher into it," said Mierow.

The homeowner's fire retardant proved helpful, containing the flames until the Seattle Fire Department arrived on the scene and extinguished the blaze.

As the Mierows moved to get clear of an inferno firefighters ensured never came to be, they heard the anguished sounds of someone near or inside the wreck.

"Then we heard a screaming of ahh, ahh. I think he was trying to scream for help," neighbor Cheng Yu told KING.

Yu indicated that the accident had been heralded by "the most sickening crunch."

Raegan McKibbon, a local resident who saw two suspects bail out of the vehicle after the crash, helped the victim across the street and out of harm's way.

McKibbon noted that she found the victim "sitting outside, kind of by the trunk of his car, and he was all tied up with rope and he was screaming 'help me, help me, I've just been kidnapped, call 911.'"

"He was beat up pretty bad," said McKibbon. "They had cut his face with a knife and had beat him up pretty badly."

The 63-year-old victim indicated he had been assaulted by several suspects before being tied up and jammed into the trunk of his own car.

The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and taken to Harborview Medical Center.

Police indicated that an 18-year-old male who matched the description of a possible suspect was detained, questioned, and released. There have yet to be any arrests.

"You can't make this stuff up, it's so absurd," said Yu.

According to police, as of February 28, the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle had so far this year already seen three rapes, five robberies, 13 aggravated assaults, 54 burglaries, and 42 motor vehicle thefts.

Seattle, more broadly, has seen 710 violent crimes in the first two months of 2023, including eight homicides and 54 rapes, along with 233 robberies and 1,134 motor vehicle thefts.

Neighborhood Scout ranks Democrat-run Seattle as among the unsafest cities in the U.S., scoring it a 1 out of 100 (100 being safest) on its crime index.

The city saw its highest violent crime rate in 15 years in 2022, reported the Seattle Times. Compounding the problem is policing manpower. The Seattle Police Department has lost around 525 officers since 2020, when the City Council decided to drastically slash the police budget.

Florida woman in labor showed up to vote, refused go to hospital until she cast her ballot



A pregnant Florida woman in labor refused to go to the hospital to give birth Tuesday afternoon until after she cast her ballot in the U.S. presidential election.

The determined voter had her husband run into the Orange County Supervisor of Elections Office to fetch her a mail-in ballot while she waited in the car at the office's parking lot, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Eileen Deliz, an early voting clerk for the Supervisor of Elections, told the Sentinel that the woman's husband spoke with a customer service representative who gave him the ballot and waited as she filled it out in her car. She said neither the woman nor her husband told election officials why she insisted on voting while she was in labor.

Danaë Rivera-Marasco, communications and community outreach coordinator for the Orange County Supervisor of Elections, said the unidentified woman was already in labor when she arrived to request her ballot.

Deliz speculated that the woman may have wanted to vote in-person but went into labor before she had the opportunity.

"Maybe she wanted to come in-person at one point and that's why she was waiting, who knows. But she wouldn't go to the hospital until she voted," Deliz said.

She added that elections staff were thrilled by her enthusiasm for voting.

"We are very, very busy, but when something like that happens it just makes our day," Deliz said. "It kind of validates what we do [and] the importance of voting. Every election cycle brings us a great little story."

According to the Sentinel's report, after turning in her ballot the woman's husband drove her to Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital.

Florida is considered a pivotal swing state in the 2020 election. The state permits early voting, allowing voters to request a ballot by mail or vote early in-person at 10 days before Election Day. According to WFOR-TV, 41% of eligible voters in Florida have already cast their ballots, totaling more than 6.4 million votes.

More than 65.5 million votes have already been cast in the 2020 presidential election, already more than half of the total votes cast for the presidential election in 2016.

With six days remaining before the election, President Donald Trump has taken a slight lead ahead of Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics average of Florida polls. Trump will campaign in the Sunshine State on Thursday after completing rallies on Wednesday in Arizona.
