LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIA TYRANTS PUNISH CHRISTIAN STUDENTS WHO REFUSE TO KNEEL BEFORE DEMONS
The
arbitrary
abuse
of
students
by
punishment,
suspension
and
even
mocking
Christian
moral
values
by
the
Loudoun
County
School
system
is
illegal
and
a
violation
of
basic
rights
guaranteed
by
the
Constitution.
This
will
result
in
sanction
by
the
Department
of
Justice
and
may
result
in
the
lose
of
federal
funds
for
the
entire
School
District.
Public

DOJ says Loudoun school transgender policy violated Christian students' rights
The Trump administration sued Loudoun County public schools on Monday, accusing the Virginia system of forcing its concept of "gender identity" on students without considering their religious beliefs.
The Justice Department said the policy allows people to enter "intimate" spaces of their choice regardless of their biological sex, and when students spoke out - and used "biologically accurate pronouns" to refer to a transgender student - they were suspended and ordered to submit to further disciplinary education.
"Students
do
not
shed
their
First
Amendment
rights
at
the
schoolhouse
gate,"
said
Assistant
Attorney
General
Harmeet
K.
Dhillon,
repeating
a
line
from
a
famous
1960s
Supreme
Court
case
"Loudoun
County's
decision
to
advance
and
promote
gender
ideology
tramples
on
the
rights
of
religious
students
who
cannot
embrace
ideas
that
deny
biological
reality,"
she
said.
The department moved to intervene on behalf of the students, who have filed an equal protection claim under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The incident in question came when two male Christian students said they were in a locker room when a student born female but who identifies as a male came into the space and, according to the complaint, recorded audio and video.
The two students spoke out against the incident and the policy, earning the suspension.
In
its
complaint
the
Justice
Department
repeatedly
refers
to
the
transgender
student,
who
is
not
identified
by
name,
as
"she"
or
"her."
The county refers to the same student as "he" and "him," the person's preferred pronouns.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT POSTED THIS STATEMENT
The Justice Department announced today that it filed legal action against the Loudoun County (Va.) School Board (Loudoun County) for its denial of equal protection based on religion. The suit alleges that Loudoun County applied Policy 8040, which requires students and faculty to accept and promote gender ideology, to two Christian, male students in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
"Students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Loudoun County's decision to advance and promote gender ideology tramples on the rights of religious students who cannot embrace ideas that deny biological reality."
