Northern Va. school systems unite behind transgender student in landmark case

Four Northern Virginia school systems are declaring in court their support for the rights of transgender students, weighing in on a landmark case involving a teenager embroiled in a years-long legal fight over his attempt to use the boys’ restroom at his high school.

The school boards in the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, and Fairfax and Arlington counties, said last month in court papers that they stand behind Gavin Grimm, a transgender teen who sued the school board in Gloucester County, Va., after he was barred from the boys’ restroom.

Grimm’s case, which ascended to the Supreme Court and became a touchstone in the fight for transgender student rights, is scheduled for a July trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The case returned to the lower court after the Trump administration abandoned an Obama-era rule on transgender students.

The Northern Virginia school systems say in court papers that they think they “must embrace the thousands of students in Virginia public schools who . . . identify as transgender.”

They are mostly politically correct, liberal Democrats.

If there are "thousands" of students in Virginia public schools who identify as transgender, there is a SERIOUS problem with Virginia Public Schools.

Since I was 5 I’ve identified as the Queen of Spain.But somehow on each of the dozens of occasions that I’ve knocked on the front door of the Royal Palace in Madrid an ambulance shows up and takes me to a hospital.

The members of the school boards in the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, and Fairfax and Arlington counties should be declared as child abusers and should have restraining order preventing them from approaching within 1,000 feet of a child under 13.

“a teenager embroiled in a years-long legal fight over his attempt to use the boys’ restroom at his high school.’

And if he/she/it gets molested in a boys restroom, sue and collect $100.000,000 from taxpayers and collect. If these payouts came out of school administrators’ salaries, this
nonsense would stop.

Bullcrap. How many are actually transitioning. Don't give me that self-identify stuff, that's just trendy crap for teens right now.

“He” is a girl.
And when “he” is sexually assaulted or raped by a male in a male-only restroom, she’ll sue because no one protected her.

“the thousands of students”

This would actually be the thousands of immature adolescents manipulated to believe they’re “transgender” by an zealous subculture.

Liberals create all sorts of “rights” that have never existed. Transgenderness is unnatural or contrary to nature. It is a mental, emotional, and spiritual illness. The mind and the body are in conflict. Instead of accepting it, these people need help in reconciling the mind and the body.

"Four Northern Virginia school systems are declaring in court their support ..."

Dang! These communist organizations know how to stick together to maintain their absolute power over "their" children...

They really get upset when a bunch of serfs forget their place and have the nerve to try to control someone else's (the government's) children...
