The Trump administration’s Department of Education has opened a new investigation into Fairfax County Public Schools over allegations that a high school social worker arranged abortions for teenage students without their parents’ knowledge.
The probe, announced as an enforcement action, stems from claims dating to the 2021-22 school year at Centreville High School, where a social worker allegedly scheduled an abortion appointment for a student, paid the abortion fee and pressured a second student into the abortion, according to reports.
The district, one of the nation’s largest, faces potential loss of federal funding if it fails to respond adequately. The investigation focuses on possible violations of the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, a federal law requiring schools to notify parents about certain sensitive medical services and allowing them to opt out. The department is demanding records by mid-October, including whether federal funds were used for abortions.
“It shocks the conscience to learn that school personnel in Fairfax have allegedly exploited their positions of trust to push abortion services on students without parental knowledge or consent,” Candice Jackson, the Education Department’s acting general counsel, said in a statement.
“Children do not belong to the government — decisions touching deeply held values should be made within loving families. It is both morally unconscionable and patently illegal for school officials to keep parents in the dark about such intimate, life-altering procedures pertaining to their children.”
The allegations first surfaced publicly three years ago but drew renewed national attention last month amid broader scrutiny of the district’s policies.
In August, the administration moved to defund Fairfax and four other Northern Virginia districts — including Loudoun, Arlington, Prince William counties and Alexandria city — over separate Title IX violations related to bathroom and locker room access for transgender students. Fairfax alone stands to lose up to $160 million in federal aid.
Those defunding actions followed a July ultimatum from the department’s Office for Civil Rights, which warned the districts’ policies discriminate based on sex in violation of Title IX, a landmark law barring gender discrimination in federally funded education programs. The abortion claims added fuel to the controversy.
Officials at Centreville High School allegedly sidestepped Virginia’s parental consent law by keeping pregnancies secret, counseling students on abortions and using school funds to cover costs, according to investigators. Questions persist about whether administrators knew of and covered up the incidents.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, responded to the revelations by directing state police to launch a criminal probe.
“I am deeply concerned with the allegations that Fairfax County Public Schools officials arranged for minors to get abortions without parental consent and may have misused public funds to pay for them,” Youngkin said in a statement last month. “I am directing the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation to open a full criminal investigation into the matter immediately.”
Pro-life advocates hailed the federal scrutiny as a vital step to protect vulnerable students and restore parental rights.

In addition to loss of Federal Funding how about loss of accreditation?
I had not see that ad by Newscum. That is low.
I don’t know why people, especially Christian Conservatives, continue to send their kids to demonicRATically controlled, government run schools.
A few years ago when we took a road trip from Texas to CA, there were billboards on both sides of I-10 advertising abortion mills starting at the Texas/New Mexico border. We just took the same road trip again a few weeks ago. All of the abortion advertising billboards were gone. I guess enough people complained to the billboard companies about the tasteless, vile advertising.
It’s ironic that those in the abortion business would tell women that they own their bodies, when their entire business model depends on women giving them control. Women who are in control of their bodies don’t have abortions.
The abortion ban is working. Prior to 2022, 50 to 60 thousand women aborted their babies every year in Texas. Last year, 7,000 women traveled out of state to get abortions. That tells me that tens of thousands of women have discovered that they CAN be responsible.
What Youngkin should further investigate is whether some of those pregnancies that led to abortions were caused by teachers having dalliances with these students!
It’s pretty bad 😔😔😔

That poster showing a ploy to attract “abortion tourists” to California (and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer pushes Michigan for the same thing) still triggers my anger.
While saying she doesn’t specifically mean Michigan is benefiting from abortion tourism financially, she said indirectly the abortion friendly state will gain in economic development by its stance.
“Executive Order to block extradition: In July 2022, Whitmer signed an executive order refusing to extradite anyone to another state for seeking, providing, or assisting with an abortion that is legal in Michigan. The order ensures that providers in Michigan and patients traveling there will not face prosecution from out-of-state authorities.
Protecting data privacy: In May 2024, Whitmer directed the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to issue a reminder about data privacy. This was in response to concerns that law enforcement might use personal health data to prosecute people seeking reproductive care.”
(“abortion tourists”)
Yep sickening 🤢🤢🤮
“SCHOOL” arranged nothing. Some HUMAN (s) did!
Or just perhaps ONE person with a chainsaw...
If you kill an unborn human that is temporarily living in your body - that is known as INFANTCIDE.
Do not pass go - go directly to jail.
If someone else kills an unborn human that is temporarily living in your body - that is known as INFANTCIDE.
They go directly to jail, goo - unless they were wearing a lab coat when the death occured.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Far more than tarring and feathering.
They're accessories to murder and who knows what harm to the girls/mothers.
What will be the response if a girl dies from a botched abortion and her angry father shoots the counselor responsible?
Will it be cute and funny then, O ye leftist hypocrites?
