When you see the words "Loudoun County Public Schools" in the news, you know your blood pressure is about to skyrocket. Such is the case with a new report out of Loudoun County ("LoCo" to locals, for obvious reasons) about three high school boys who are facing a Title IX investigation for complaining after a girl who thinks she's a boy used the boys' locker room and allegedly took a video.
It's understandable if you had to re-read the previous sentence; as with most things related to Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), the situation makes no sense at all to those with a shred of sanity. Yes, the boys who felt uncomfortable when a biological female used their locker room are the ones facing disciplinary action, not the girl who took a video while cosplaying as a boy. And now the boys are being accused of sexual harassment under Title IX. //
The father of one of the Stone Bridge High School boys currently being accused of sexual harassment under Title IX explained what happened from his son's point of view:
“He was questioning why there was a female in the males' locker room,” the father said.
“And other boys were uncomfortable [with a female in the boys’ locker room],” he added. “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.”
