Loudoun County Public Schools, which saw ugly scenes at board meetings following a May 2021 sexual assault by a boy in the girls' bathroom, adopted the trans bathroom policy in August 2021.

The tragedy of sexual-reassignment surgery has a terrifying history.The popularization of medically sanctioned sexual mutilation began with well-known sexual perversion advocate, Alfred Kinsey.Kinsey contended that people are “sexual from birth” and experimented on babies in the 1940s and 50s.

Wednesday was a good day for parents' rights in Virginia. In addition to Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) signing SB 739 into law, which empowers parents to decide whether their children will wear masks and guarantees in-person instruction, students in the Loudoun County Public School (LCPS) system found relief through a court decision later that evening.

School officials in Virginia’s embattled Loudoun County have been trained in obtaining warrants against parents or students who follow a new statewide order that allows them to forgo face masks on campus, according to a leaked email. The progressive district’s director of safety and security, John Clark, emailed step-by-step instructions on Tuesday last week, according to a copy tweeted by conservative political activist Ned Ryun. The email’s subject was “Mask Enforcement” in “preparation” for the county’s ongoing mandate in defiance of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s executive order allowing parents to opt out of masking their kids. Clark, a former Secret Service...

As Northern Virginia's Loudoun County continues to be plagued by a sex scandal, where a now 15-year old boy was able to rape classmates throughout the district, the district is also coming under fire for their policy on mask mandates, which is to suspend students and charge them with "trespassing," a Class I misdemeanor. On Sunday, Nick Minock reported for ABC 7News that while students who did not show up with masks were sent to the auditorium to be segregated from their peers, they will now be suspended. Not only that, they will be physically removed from school and charged...

Virginia’s governor, attorney general, and the superintendent of public instruction have asked to join a lawsuit on behalf of parents fighting to opt their children out of mask mandates at school. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by three families against Loudoun County Public Schools, one of Virginia’s public school districts that insist on requiring students to wear a mask in school buildings in defiance of Gov.

But the Loudoun County School Board voted to support...

A communications representative for a public school system in Virginia accidentally responded to a reporter seeking information used in their decision to continue with its mask requirement and what the district plans to do if Gov. Glenn Youngkin's (R) executive order allowing an opt-out of school mask mandates is followed.

"FYI I recommended...

Pennsylvania’s school mask order is losing its luster in Lancaster County. Most county school districts have decided to make masks optional instead of waiting for resolution of a court battle over whether the state’s school mask order - which mandates students, employees and visitors wear masks inside school buildings - is valid. The state Department of Health, however, says nothing has changed. Schools, department spokesperson Paul O’Neill told LNP | LancasterOnline Wednesday, should follow the mask mandate until Dec. 4 - when the order is expected to be thrown out, again, by the Commonwealth Court - and possibly even longer....

As contractors widen Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia, they produce tons of excess dirt. So do excavators digging basements for homes or leveling land for commercial projects or schools. Some of that dirt – no one knows how much – ends up on Fauquier County properties. Some county officials think it is way too much. “Fauquier County is becoming, if not has already become, the dumping ground for Northern Virginia's fill dirt. And it's obviously a huge problem. And it's affecting people's lives,” county supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run District) said at April’s Board of Supervisors meeting, as residents complained...

“The role of declaring the winner of a presidential election in the U.S. falls to the news media. The broadcast networks and cable news outlets have vowed to be prudent.” – New York Times 11/3/2020 The New York Times‘ statement was not accidental, but pre-planned.

Sometimes it takes a foreigner to remind us of our values. Those were my first thoughts after watching a new film by Trevor Loudon, a New Zealand native with a pleasant accent, who interviewed me for his new film The Enemies Within. THE ENEMIES WITHIN [trailer]Like Alexis de Tocqueville, who came to America and offered us invaluable insights about our country, Trevor Loudon is an author and activist from New Zealand who nevertheless seems to understand us better than we understand ourselves. Unlike de Tocqueville, however, Loudon does not like what he sees. His new movie is a painful, shocking,...

I was honored to attend the southern California premier of Trevor Loudon’s new movie, “The Enemies Within” at a special event hosted by the American Freedom Alliance on Oct. 16, 2016, in Van Nuys, California. This movie is the result of Loudon’s long-career of carefully collecting available information regarding the ties public officials in the U.S. have to the Communist Party, Communist front groups, jihadist hate groups and nefarious institutions who oppose the Constitution and our way of life. I think it always comes as a shock to people with little interest in politics and government (which, I suppose, is...
