FFLC Represents Loudoun County Sophomores Under Title IX Investigation for Questioning Why a Female Was Using the Males’ Locker Room

The Founding Freedoms Law Center is representing two Loudoun County high school sophomores and their parents after school administrators launched a formal Title IX investigation against them and one other boy for “sexual harassment” for simply asking fellow students why there was a girl changing in the boys’ locker room.  LCPS is also currently under formal investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for its policies related to gender identity.

The female student filed a complaint to school officials after she secretly video-recorded several boys in the locker room, in which some were discussing among themselves discomfort and confusion about why there was a girl changing in their locker room. One of our clients (whose identity is being withheld for his protection) simply said “Why is there a girl in the locker room?” The other boy had gone to the P.E. teacher and the Principal beforehand to express discomfort over a girl sharing the locker room with the boys.

According to one of the student’s father, Seth Wolfe, “My 15 year-old son is being unfairly targeted for simply asking a basic question that any boy would be asking in that situation. It’s astonishing that Loudoun school officials are subjecting him to a formal investigation for a bogus charge that could derail his life.”

According to Josh Hetzler, Legal Counsel for Founding Freedoms Law Center and the Wolfes’ attorney: “This is yet another egregious example of how LCPS continues to defy state law on transgender policies as well as President Trump’s recent executive orders. These high school boys did absolutely nothing wrong, and LCPS needs to end this baseless investigation immediately.”
