If crime is down and elementary schools already experience low levels of serious violence, are taxpayer dollars better invested in: • School counselors • School psychologists • Social workers • Restorative practices • After-school and community programs

Publicly spotlighting cooperation with ICE — especially during heightened national immigration enforcement — while advocating for more officers in elementary schools may cause some families to question whether schools are becoming extensions of immigration enforcement.

110

The American Academy of Pediatrics and other professional groups recommend prioritizing counselors, psychologists, and preventive mental health supports over increased policing in schools.

National Center for Education Statistics data show elementary schools have comparatively low rates of violent crime. A Journal of Adolescent Health study of 179 school shootings (1999–2018) found no evidence that SROs reduced deaths or injuries

Serious crime in Loudoun decreased 11% last year, according to the Sheriff’s own statement. A National Institute of Justice–funded study of every school shooting found schools with armed officers on scene had a death rate 2.83 times higher than schools without one.

If crime is decreasing, why expand policing into elementary schools while publicly emphasizing collaboration with federal immigration enforcement? Here are facts worth considering:

In a recent interview, the Sheriff renewed his proposal to place School Resource Officers (SROs) in every Loudoun County elementary school over the next four years. In that same appearance, he also highlighted the Sheriff’s Office’s cooperation with ICE.

Loudoun currently has 38 SROs. Other large districts in VA: Fairfax-59 Prince William-35 Virginia Beach City-30 Chesterfield-25 Henrico-21 Chesapeake-17 None of the above have SROs in their elementary schools. An additional 62 SROs in Loudoun would be a 5.5% increase in SROs in the entire state!

Title IX Investigation — Loudoun 4 All

See our updated timeline of events and court documents at www.loudoun4all.com/title-ix-inv...

022

Our schools cannot function, and our communities cannot heal, when facts are sacrificed for headlines. We will continue to stand with students and families committed to facts, inclusion, and safe schools for everyone.

121

We must ensure that our school administrators do not tolerate bullying or harassment and that they enforce the board's zero-tolerance bullying policy.

We are reminded of the incident in 2021, when, much like this year, an event at Stone Bridge High School was used by political operatives to attack transgender students and swing votes.

Loudoun4All condemns this campaign of disinformation in the strongest possible terms. Furthermore, we ask why this episode of harassment was allowed to go on for a full school year before being addressed.

Parents and politicians who misrepresent bullying over the span of an entire school year as “discomfort” are not defending free expression—they are defending harassment.

Loudoun4All reaffirms that our schools must protect all students from harassment and ensure every child is treated with dignity and respect.

The judge’s requirement of a six-figure bond underscores the weakness of the plaintiffs’ case and undercuts the narrative being circulated by their parents and political backers.

This order is not a finding against LCPS. This injunction does not invalidate the investigation, overturn the findings, or clear the students of responsibility. It is a procedural pause, not an exoneration.

The injunction halts two students’ suspensions from Stone Bridge High School. The judge required the plaintiffs to post a $125,000 bond by October 15, citing “significant weaknesses in the plaintiffs’ allegations.”

It has once again used LCPS students, educators, and families as political pawns in a cynical effort to stoke fear and division. On Friday, October 10, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction temporarily pausing LCPS’ enforcement.

This deceit has real victims. It has retraumatized the targeted student, endangered LGBTQ+ youth across the county, and forced LCPS and taxpayers to shoulder the cost of defending against a narrative built on lies.

121

Yet, even with these facts in hand, adults—some of whom hold political ambitions—chose to manipulate the story, turning a child’s suffering into a talking point to inflame voters ahead of an election.

The investigation further confirmed that the trans student, who briefly recorded a video in the locker room, was separately investigated and disciplined under LCPS Policy 8655 for violating school rules, contrary to what parents have claimed.

The report also says that the students repeated “their questions at a loud volume over weeks and months, typically outside the presence of any authority figure.”

Over the 2024–2025 school year, the students targeted their transgender classmate, creating a hostile environment that caused the student to stop using the locker room altogether.

An independent Title IX investigation—backed by 24 staff and student witnesses—found that the students’ conduct was severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive, amounting to relentless harassment over the course of a year.

They spread disinformation, knowingly misrepresenting the facts to fuel political outrage. They claimed these students were punished merely for “expressing discomfort” about a transgender peer. They knew that was false.

Loudoun County Democratic Committee @loudoundemocrats.org · 05/10/2025

LCPS has released the details of its Title IX investigation into two students who harassed and bullied a transgender student. Since May, the parents of the cis students, their attorneys, and several aligned media outlets have orchestrated a coordinated campaign.

Loudoun School Board approves LGBTQ proclamation despite opposition

Loudoun County School Board proclamations are typically noncontroversial, but a proclamation recognizing October as LGBTQ+ History Month drew three no votes at the board's Sept. 30 meeting.

Griffiths’ attempt to frame recognition as “inappropriate content” is harmful, especially to young people who already face higher rates of bullying and mental health struggles when leaders stigmatize them.

If Griffiths truly believed proclamations were meaningless, she would remain silent on all of them. Her decision to single out this specific proclamation with such ignorant commentary can only be understood as malicious.

Our full statement: Deana Griffiths has previously decided not to vote in favor of any proclamations that are put before the school board as a practice, but went out of her way to comment on the LGBTQ+ history month proclamation. That is not neutrality but targeted disrespect.

Bottom line: Once again, Loudoun’s students are being turned into pawns in a desperate political game. Virginia deserves leaders focused on solving real issues and not those willing to use children as stage props in a culture war.

030

Recycling a Culture War Playbook: With no solutions for the high cost of living, healthcare, or the chaos of the Trump administration, Republicans are turning once again to scapegoating LGBTQ+ students.

150

Using a Story LCPS Cannot Legally Clarify: FERPA, the federal student privacy law, prohibits schools from disclosing details about student discipline. Republicans are exploiting that legal silence to spin a false narrative—knowing LCPS cannot publicly correct them.

140

The pattern is unmistakable: Exploiting Children for Political Gain: Republicans are using minors as campaign props, just as they did in 2021, rather than addressing real issues facing Virginia families.
