Loudoun Drops Charges for Muslim Student, Doubles Down on Christians
Ever since FFLC took up the case of the "Loudoun Three" boys under investigation by Loudoun Schools (LCPS) for Title IX "sexual harassment" for asking why there was a girl (claiming to be a boy) in their locker room, things have only gotten crazier. But now, LCPS has really outdone itself.
LCPS has DROPPED its charge of sexual harassment against one of the boys. But shockingly, at the same time, they have DOUBLED down on the other two boys by adding the additional charge of "sex-based discrimination" - DESPITE all three boys having had the same facts alleged against them.
In fact, here is what the Title IX coordinator said of the one boy when announcing his charge was being dismissed: "[T]his Formal Complaint must be dismissed from the Title IX grievance process for the following reasons: the conduct alleged would not constitute sexual harassment as defined in 34 CFR § 106.30 of the Title IX regulations, even if proved." (Bold in original.) Obviously, if this is true of one of them, it must necessarily be true for all three!
This begs the question, then, what is the difference between the boy whose charge was dismissed and the other two who are now being targeted? Only one thing it seems: The first boy was Muslim, and the other two are Christians.
Now, to be clear, we are thrilled for our Muslim client. LCPS did the right thing in dropping his charge. He did nothing wrong. But LCPS shows their blatant religious discrimination by completely letting him off while adding more charges to the Christian boys who are alleged to have done exactly the same thing.
