Federal Judge Grants Another Win for Loudoun Boys

Today, our clients, two Loudoun County students, gained another preliminary victory in their ongoing case against the school district. A federal judge granted the Founding Freedoms Law Center’s (FFLC) and America First Legal’s (AFL) motion for preliminary injunction—putting school suspensions on hold—that the Loudoun County Public School (LCPS) district argued to impose on these boys after they expressed discomfort about a girl being in the boys’ locker room at school.

This is another victory in blocking the suspensions while the case moves forward and until a final outcome of the lawsuit filed by FFLC and AFL is reached (Note: The previous order granted our clients a "temporary restraining order, which is emergency relief only designed to last up to 14 days.). The court's order allows the client still living in the district, a male student, to continue to attend classes. It also prevents the Title IX “sexual harassment” finding from going on both boys’ permanent records as they begin to apply to colleges.

We’re very pleased the court sees the importance of halting a wrongful punishment so our client can continue his education and both boys are ultimately vindicated.

According to Seth Wolfe, the father of the student whose suspension was blocked, “I am glad my son is able to keep going to school while we continue to fight for his free speech rights—which affects all students and families in this district moving forward.”

Now we move forward to defend the constitutional rights of these boys to permanently prevent these punishments and restore their record.
