A pair of Parents from Virginia states that their sons, who were suspended and found responsible for sexual harassment, were not given any formal way to express inconvenience with their school’s transgender locker room policy after questioning why an organic woman was using the boys’ locker room.
Parents Rene Smith and Seth Wolf say that the loudown county public schools led by vague policies and poor communication from the district, titled IX was the ruling and a 10-day suspension for boys. They say that their children were never instructed to communicate any possible concerns about the transgender locker room or pronoun policy in the district, nor were the parents ever informed how to help their children understand them.
Earlier this year, Loudown County School District began an investigation into sexual harassment in two boys, as she was taped video by a biological woman, identified as transgender inside the boys’ locker room. The video caught them complaining to each other about the fact that there was a girl using their facilities.

Wolf said for Fox News Digital, “There was an incident in the year in that year, where one of the students involved went to administration and was uncomfortable with it. They were told too much, ‘This is how it is and how it is and to accept it,” and they are not saying anything about it, “Wolf raised Fox News Digital.
“As much as we look at it, no adult ever told these boys how to communicate with this person. How to use the pronouns that are appropriate. They never gave us as the opportunity of parents, even to talk to our children about it.”
“I specifically asked my son what he did to prepare him for this type of situation and the answer was nothing,” Smith said. “If you are going to apply this policy on paper, then you have a strategy for it in the classroom.”
In response to the allegations that the boys’ complaints fell on the deaf ears, the district said that he had never suspended a student “just because he expressed any inconvenience.”
District spokesperson Dan Adams told Fox News Digital, “LCP will not suspend a student at any time as he expressed any inconvenience.” “Our title IX resources should be clear from a reading that the title IX is a high bar to begin and a student is a high bar title to determine the title IX.”
Fox News Digital replied with questions that the district was accusing the boys of expressing inconvenience beyond what beyond the district, but did not listen back.

Apart from the misleading nature of the ongoing school dispute, Smith told Fox News Digital that he felt that the allegations themselves were also misleading.
“I think the allegations themselves give a lot of confusion,” Smith said. “Like, how do we ask someone based on sexual harassment why there is a girl in their locker room?”
Smith also questioned that other students, who had filmed boys, were not disciplined in the same way.
Smith and Wolf, along with their lawyer, are appealing for the title IX of Loudown County Public Schools, in which their children were found responsible for sexual harassment and suspended for 10 days. While Smith has excluded her child from the kingdom, Wolf’s son is capable of attending the first several days of school as the appeal held the boys suspension.
The boys’ counsel with the founder Freedom Law Center said that they are now partnered to take legal action, another law group, the US First Legal,.
The family and their lawyers intend to end all the paths in an attempt to reverse the title IX decision of the district, which finds their sons responsible for sexual harassment, which they fear that their children will have long -term effects, especially when it comes to college.
However, Hetzler said that he did not expect his appeal to reverse anything.

“I don’t know who is the accurate person who is deciding the appeal. “Finally, I think we are going to sue them. I think we have to go to the federal court. And if we go to a federal court, the Department of Justice will have the opportunity to intervene in the case.”
Hetzler said that they want to avoid going to court, but said, “The reality is that at every point, when the loudown county has the opportunity to do the right thing, they always do wrong things.”
“We will love for the right thing and loudown to avoid [court]But we have found these boys to prevent them from being suspended, because once they are suspended and they miss the school, you can’t miss that bell, “Hetzler continued.” So, we are going to stop it, and then we are trying to make sure it has been scrubbed from their records because they must not have a title IX sexual harassment on their records to complain about a girl in their locker. ,
