After investigation into Loudoun Co. schools’ handling of locker room incident, Miyares refers case to federal government

Virginia’s attorney general began his investigation after a news report investigated three high school boys who said they felt “uncomfortable” with a transgender student, who identifies as male, changing clothes in a boys’ locker room.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares says he has referred his investigation into Loudoun County Public School’s handling of an incident in a high school boys locker room to the U.S. departments of Education and Justice.

In a news release Monday, Miyares said LCPS initiated a “retaliatory Title IX investigation” against three male students at Stone Bridge High School, “after they expressed sincere religious objections to LCPS Policy 8040, which allows access to sex-separated facilities based on ‘gender identity.’”
