ASHBURN, VA - AUGUST 10: Members of the Loudoun County school board listen as virtual speakers address the board on transgender rights, covid masks and a host of other issues during a school board meeting on August 10, 2021 in Ashburn, Va. The Loudoun school board will vote Tuesday night whether to adopt improved guidelines for the treatment of transgender students that would require school officials to allow children access to sex-specific facilities and activities that match their gender identities. The meeting is likely to draw dueling protests from parents who both support and oppose the motion, as well as parents upset over the alleged teaching of critical race theory. It is the first meeting following a contentious and highly publicized school board session during which a parent protester was arrested. (Photo by Ricky Carioti/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
