Loudoun County female students are actively engaging in local school board elections by advocating for candidates who support girls’ privacy and safety in school sports, restrooms and locker rooms.
As ABC 7 News, the local North Virginia affiliate, reports, “The current school board is fighting to keep its locker room and bathroom policy, titled Policy 8040.”
The policy allows students to participate in activities and access restrooms and locker rooms based on their “consistently asserted gender identity” regardless of biology.
But girls are fed up with Policy 8040, which allows boys who “identify” as girls to enter private female-only spaces. Boys are upset about girls using their facilities and are also involved in the campaign to protect students from “transgender” policies.
Their story illustrates why local school board elections are so important – and why civic engagement from conservatives and Christians is critical.
“As early voting is underway, some teens are greeting Loudoun County voters at the polls and asking them to choose school board candidates who would restore girl only and boy only bathrooms and locker rooms in Loudoun County Public Schools,” According to ABC 7.
The news outlet explained that teens were supporting specific candidates, making statements to those approaching the polls. Students pointed out which candidates were “helping the students protect boys from coming in girls’ locker rooms” and “protecting students in schools.”
Kara Dansky, author of The Abolition of Sex: How the “Transgender” Agenda Harms Women and Girls, applauded the girls for “speaking out about the harms that “gender identity” poses to women and girls as a sex class.”
“To the Loudoun County girls who are getting actively involved in encouraging voters to vote for board members who will protect single-sex spaces, good for you,” she wrote.
“I’m sorry you have to do this. I’m sorry your district ignored your concerns. I wish you didn’t have to be doing this. Having single-sex locker rooms and bathrooms should be a no-brainer,” Dansky added.
“However, I’m very happy that you’re getting involved in this manner. If your school board won’t protect you, you need new board members who will. Well done!”
The Loudoun County School Board passed Policy 8040 in 2021 over the objections of many parents.
Since then, the district has been embroiled in controversy, with a skirt-wearing “gender fluid” boy sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in the girls restroom at Loudoun’s Stone Bridge High School.
Loudoun County Schools Superintendent and Board dragged the girl’s father out of a board meeting, tried to cover up the incident and transferred the boy to another school – where he assaulted a second girl.
Also at Stone Bridge, a female student, identifying as transgender, recorded boys in a male locker room questioning her presence, with “one student expressing that he felt ‘uncomfortable’ about the situation,” Fox News reported.
Loudoun County Schools is facing a lawsuit from the boys who were punished for simply asking, “Why is there a girl in the boys’ locker room?”
Rather than disciplining the girl for illegally taping the boys, the district found the two high school boys guilty of sex discrimination and sexual harassment.
Loudoun County Public Schools is also facing an investigation by the Department of Education for multiple violations of Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funds.
Despite this, the school board dug in its heels and refused to follow the law.
So students have surged into action, campaigning for school board candidates who will protect their rights.
“For the past four years, students (of both sexes) have been demanding a policy change, and the district has essentially ignored them. So now, they’re taking matters into their own hands,” Dansky wrote.
BallotReady reports that more than 18,000 school board seats are on the ballot in 2025, with the results affecting millions of students and almost $800 billion in spending decisions.
National teachers unions, which promote transgender policies and ideology, pushed to have school board elections in off-years – when fewer voters cast ballots. As a result, BallotReady states that “research suggests that candidates endorsed by teachers’ unions win at exceptionally high rates.”
Teachers unions represent teachers – not parents and students, so unions don’t always have parents’ and students’ best interests in mind.
It’s vitally important that concerned citizens get informed about local school board races, supporting and voting for candidates who will protect students’ and parents’ rights.
