January 1, Virginia School Lockers Spark Outrage Over Gender Policy

Wyatt’s Take

• Fairfax schools let a biological male in girls’ locker rooms, ignoring objections.
• Federal funding is at risk after the district failed to block this policy.
• Parents and GOP leaders say girls are left unprotected in the name of politics.

Fairfax County Public Schools let a male student with facial hair into the girls’ locker room, then told uncomfortable girls to change elsewhere or faster.

When the Department of Education learned the district wouldn’t change its policy, it yanked Magnet School Assistance Program funding and warned of bigger cuts coming.

One mother filed a Title IX complaint because her daughter walked in to find the student leering at girls changing clothes.

When she called the administration, she got no response.

Governor Youngkin is investigating claims the district also helped minors get abortions without telling parents or using public money for such procedures.

Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears blasted Democratic front-runner Abigail Spanberger, saying,

“A freshman girl was told to find another place to change because she was uncomfortable that a boy was in her locker room watching her.”

“Abigail Spanberger voted for that.”

This school district has also let a male sex offender who identifies as a woman near children’s facilities, with local media showing him at a kids’ park.

Prosecutors charged him with exposing himself in girls’ locker rooms, and a mother testified he was

“masturbating in a shower stall with the curtain open.”

Spanberger refused to say directly whether she supports males in girls’ sports or bathrooms, instead shifting to talk about fairness and local control.

The same school famously held back National Merit Award notifications from students—many Asian-American—causing parents to suspect it was to make things look

“equal.”

More federal investigations are underway.

The Department of Education says Fairfax isn’t following civil rights law and denied further grant money.

That leaves millions in federal funding on the line, on top of bad national press for the school and county.

Girls and their parents are left to fight for basic privacy and fairness in their schools, and many say enough is enough.

This fight is likely to impact the governor’s race as parents look for leaders who’ll protect their kids.

Parents in the heartland know that protecting kids’ safety and dignity trumps politics every time. When big institutions put agendas above common sense, it’s working families and children who pay the price.
