Sit Down and Shut Up: Loudoun School Board's Latest Attack on Parents and Students

Loudoun County Back in the National Spotlight

Loudoun County Public Schools is once again in the national spotlight. Two young men who were filmed in their high school locker room by a biological young woman — and who then complained about her presence there — have now been found guilty of Title IX sexual harassment violations. They have been suspended for 10 days and will carry a sexual harassment label with them, potentially for the rest of their lives.

Make no mistake: this case is not about trans rights, freedom of expression, democracy, or equality. This is about power and control.

“Do what we say. Do not question our authority. Sit down and shut up.”

A Conveniently Timed Case

The incident, which occurred in May 2025, conveniently came to light within the first months of the Trump administration, as the administration was pushing for a return to common-sense education and the elimination of woke ideologies in schools.

This case provides the five left-wing school jurisdictions in Northern Virginia a perfect platform to push back against the Trump administration — and a warning to parents and students alike: oppose us, and this could happen to you and your children.

Targeting White Christian Males

Three male students were filmed in the locker room by the biological woman, who identifies as male. Yet only two were found guilty of Title IX sexual harassment violations — both of whom were white Christians.

For decades, the left has targeted white Christian males as the root of societal ills, branding them with labels such as “toxic masculinity,” “racist,” “homophobic,” or “transphobic.” This mantra has been drilled into the very fabric of the liberal education system, mainstream media, and even some pulpits.

Why Was One Student Spared?

A puzzling element of this case is why charges were dropped against the third student. Was it due to appropriate legal reasoning, or were political motives at play?

Reports suggest the student was Muslim. Northern Virginia’s growing immigrant communities, especially Muslim and Hindu, have become a major focus of recruitment for left-leaning Democrats. Could this dismissal have served a dual purpose: reward loyalty with leniency, while sending a chilling warning that dissenters will be punished? Only deeper investigation can reveal the truth.

The Young Woman: Pawn or Hero?

Another striking aspect is how the young woman’s identity has been protected for her “safety,” while the names of the two young men — both minors — have been publicized, compounding their humiliation.

She is being hailed by the left as a courageous hero, but in reality, she may be a pawn in a dangerous political game. Reports suggest a teacher encouraged her to film the boys, despite laws prohibiting photography in intimate spaces like locker rooms, particularly when minors are involved.

Her future raises troubling questions:

Will she undergo irreversible surgeries or a lifetime of hormone treatments?
Will those who encouraged her be there when she faces depression, regret, or the inability to have children?
If she later seeks to warn others about the dangers of these ideologies, will she be supported — or vilified by the very left that now calls her a hero?

What Can Be Done?

Show Compassion

First, conservatives must remember these are children being manipulated by politicians and media for political gain. We must treat them with compassion and understanding — not as pawns in a demented political chess game, as the left does.

Vote in November

Virginia elections are on November 4. School board seats across the Commonwealth are on the ballot. In Loudoun, flipping just two incumbents could change the board’s majority. Do your homework. Today’s school board members are not just concerned neighbors; many are well-funded radicals determined to “reimagine” America through indoctrination.

Push for School Choice

We must change how education is funded so that money follows the student. Wealthy families can move to private schools when public schools push radical ideologies. Most families cannot. If education dollars followed every student, parents would be empowered to place their children in schools that reflect their values.

This would force public schools to compete, making them more accountable to their communities. Remember — these are our tax dollars, and they are our strongest leverage to protect our children.

Get Involved

Above all, parents and community members must be involved. Know your child’s teachers, principals, and advisors. Understand the policies being imposed in your schools. What would never be acceptable in your home — like strangers of the opposite sex in intimate spaces — must not be tolerated in taxpayer-funded schools.

If you are silenced at school board meetings or shut out of your child’s education, something is very wrong.
