The Loudoun County Public School (LCPS) board heard public debate over a controversial policy Tuesday mandating various gender-related provisions following an emotional and contentious public comment period.
Tuesday mandating various gender-related provisions following an emotional and contentious public comment period.
That debate will pour over into the judicial system as Cross and Loudoun parents have already filed lawsuits on various issues. If passed, it's unclear how long policy 8040 will last given that its content is already being disputed in Cross' case. Opponents issued what seemed to be more intense denunciations of a policy affecting locker rooms and other facilities. Policy 8040 reads:"Students should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their gender identity."
Mooney went on to say that he wanted to show love to individuals who struggled with their identity."But the policies here today are tying the hands of parents, teachers, and friends … I didn't want to be here, but I owe it to future generations." "I also believe that bad theology kills. If it does not lead to human flourishing, it is not of God. There is a consensus among licensed mental health professionals that attempts to keep youth from expressing their true gender identities leads to depression and suicide."Middle school teacher Andrea Weiskopf told the board that"all children need an ally, but our transgender children need allies now.
