Most Americans are exasperated with the alphabet mafia, but despite the huge cultural shift and Trump's executive order, some school districts will not leave the insanity behind. 

Districts like Loudoun County, ground zero of the alphabet wars. 

The female student identifies as a boy and recorded the boys in the Stone Bridge High School locker room.

In any sane world, the adults entrusted with the health and well-being of children would be sensitive to the concerns of boys and girls--particularly those in the range where puberty naturally occurs, about mixing the sexes. 

They also, you would think, strictly prohibit the filming of children in locker rooms--an action that is not only deeply troubling in any case, but particularly so when underage kids are involved. 

But not in Loudoun County. In Loudoun County, there is a policy that students who identify as transgender can invade the locker rooms reserved for members of the opposite sex, and they can even film other students should they so choose. And if a student objects, it is they who are punished. 

Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) will suspend two boys who attend Stone Bridge High School because of their interactions with a female student who identifies as male, and chooses to use the boys' locker room at school.

Earlier this year, 7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to report that LCPS launched a Title IX investigation into the students after they were recorded on video asking why there was a girl in the boys locker room.

7News was also the first to report that the female student who identifies as male was the one who recorded the video in the locker room -- A violation of district policy.

LCPS’s Title IX Office launched an investigation based on that video and the male-identifying student’s complaint. That office has now determined the two boys are responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination, according to attorney, Josh Hetzler, who represents the families.

Mixing girls and boys in locker rooms begs for all kinds of trouble to begin with, and imposing rules that are clearly discriminatory--a girl pretending to be a boy is allowed to break all the rules--makes things infinitely worse. 

The Loudoun Country School Board doesn't care. People who do not identify as transgender have no rights, and should they try to stand up for themselves they will be slapped down and punished. 

The family of one of the boys found to have harassed and discriminated against the male-identifying female student moved out of Virginia with his family.

We’re told that should the student return to LCPS, his suspension and other discipline will commence at that time.

The boys’ parents previously raised concerns that the Title IX violations will be on the boys’ academic records. The boys will be juniors in high school this fall, which is when students begin applying for colleges.

The Virginia Attorney General investigated this situation over the summer and determined LCPS utilized an unlawful, discriminatory, and retaliatory Title IX investigation to silence students’ sincerely held religious beliefs. Attorney General Jason Miyares referred the matter to the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights and the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for further investigation. We are waiting to learn whether either or both of those agencies will act on those referrals.

The school board literally chased the parents out of the state, and who can blame them for leaving? 

Northern Virginia, folks. https://t.co/PjT5GYRao9

Despite the claims that "nobody is above the law," the school board not-so-respectfully dissents. Having the case referred to the Department of Justice by the Virginia Attorney General gives us hope that the Board will face serious consequences, but that could take years. 

Apparently LCPS also added an additional civil rights crime by letting the Muslim boy off the hook while not affording any similar opportunities to the non-Muslim boys.

These people operate in open defiance of the law, and have for years. They need to be in prison. https://t.co/bx3CHdXgit

In July, the U.S. Department of Education determined LCPS, Fairfax County Public Schools, Prince William County Public Schools, Alexandria City Public Schools, and Arlington Public Schools’ bathroom and locker room policies violate Title IX.

However, on Friday, all five school systems announced they would not change those policies.

Arguing they are in place to comply with a Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in a case called Grimm v. Gloucester County.

In that case, the court found refusing to allow a transgender student to use the bathroom that affirms their gender identity constitutes sex-based discrimination.

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Education told 7News it had begun the process of cutting federal funding to those five school districts, which could cost each of them tens of millions of dollars a year.

Meanwhile, students are being abused by adults who seem hell-bent on making a political statement. 

If you had been told in 2010 that something like this would be happening, you would say it could never happen. It is insane. When many people were warning that the floodgates of perversion were being opened up in the mid-2010s, they were called paranoid extremists. 

Would that it were so. For all the talk that slippery slope arguments are a logical fallacy, it's hard to name one that wasn't prophetic.
