this Trump administration After discovering that the area violated Chapter IX, the deadline for Loudon County Public Schools was signed for a resolution agreement that they punished two male students who complained about a biological female in the boys’ locker room.
The Ministry of Education’s Civil Rights Office’s investigation found that the district continued the “double standards based on gender” by distributing a 10-day suspension to two teenage boys who questioned trans students’ use of boy facilities at Stone Bridge High School.
“Loudon County failed to meaningfully investigate complaints of sexual harassment by two male students for the presence of sexual harassment by the opposite sex only in male intimate spaces,” the department said in a statement.
The department gave the district 10 days to correct the violation by revoking the suspension; reviewing whether the discipline is disproportionate; issuing letters to apologize for failing to investigate the boy’s complaints; and modifying its policies to deal with such issues.
Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary, said: “Loudon County’s adherence to radical gender ideology has repeatedly put students in ways that hurt students”, first, having students use locker rooms and restrooms based on gender identity rather than their gender.
“Secondly, Loudon County failed to treat allegations of sexual harassment equally: it quickly investigated a female student’s complaint but was quickly fired, failing to meaningfully investigate complaints of sexual harassment by two of its male students,” Mr Trainor said. “We urge Loudon County to abandon its reliance on postmodern ideology and instead accept the requirements of the law by complying with Title IX.”
In Loudon County, gender ideology outweighs common sense.

The findings were announced the day after the two boys and their parents filed a federal lawsuit, alleging that the school district violated Chapter IX, as well as students due process, freedom of speech and freedom from religious discrimination.
“Four years ago, public schools in Loudon County were reluctant to open the IX title investigation, a male student sexually assaulted a female student in a female bathroom,” said Ian Prior, senior counsel for the U.S., a legal lawyer for law law lawyers, which was established as a case filed by the Liberal Law Center.
Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendment prohibits gender discrimination in education.
“Now, the same school system has found two boys violated the IX championship, just questioning why women are changing boys’ locker rooms and they are changing – worrying that anyone who is sane in the same situation will be worried.”
The 10-day suspension was scheduled to begin Tuesday, but only one boy was affected. After the incident on March 21, other 11-grade students moved out of the state with their families.
A trans student, a biological female who identifies a male, enters the boy’s locker room and secretly records the boy, asking questions like “Why is there a girl?” and “Is there a girl here?” and “Female? Brother, get out of here.”
After investigation, the district found last month that the boys violated rules targeting sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination, giving them a 10-day suspension and contactless order with trans students.
The lawsuit argued that the district discriminated against the areas by telling the boys to “stop discussing their discomfort” and suggesting them to use private dressing areas, but did not tell trans students to do the same.
The motion said the district also refused to thoroughly investigate investigations of trans students’ privacy violations by recording boys in locker rooms.

Two districts of Fairfax and Arlington are prosecuted to block Government The order was ordered, but the judge rejected their request earlier this month.
