Loudoun County Public Schools has settled with two Christian students accused of sexual harassment.
The boys, students at Stone Bridge High School, faced punishment for expressing discomfort over a transgender peer using their locker room in March 2025. The student, a biological female identifying as male, recorded three boys in the locker room as they expressed their opinions on the matter. Two of the three were found to be “responsible for ‘sexual harassment’ and discrimination,” which will remain on their records, alongside a 10-day suspension, ABC7 reports.
“The school district dropped its Title IX claim against one of the students, who is Muslim, and brought additional Title IX violations against the two other students, who are Christian, according to their lawyers at the Founding Freedoms Law Center,” according to Fox News.
Families of the boys sued the school board and on March 3, it was announced that the groups were able to reach a settlement.
“While we are not able to share specifics of the settlement agreement, what we can say is that our clients are very happy with the result,” said the Founding Freedoms Law Center attorneys who represented the families. “Meanwhile, even though our case is over, the federal Department of Education and Department of Justice are continuing their efforts to hold Loudoun County Schools accountable for their policies on “transgender” students. Stay tuned for more on that.”
“Ultimately, we’re glad that our clients and Loudoun County were able to reach an agreement that can allow our clients to move forward. We hope that, in the future, as a result of the attention brought to this situation and our efforts to help vindicate these boys, Loudoun County will have an even greater incentive to protect vulnerable students from the harms of gender ideology,” the statement reads.
“An attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice told the judge that the department has the authority under current statute to intervene despite the status of the case, and that the U.S. Congress intended to allow the federal government to defend people when their religious freedoms are violated,” ABC7 stated.
“America First Legal is proud to have litigated this important case on behalf of our clients’ state and federal constitutional and statutory rights. We are pleased that we were able to successfully mediate this case and will continue to vigorously advocate for the rights of students, parents, and teachers, whether that be in Northern Virginia or anywhere else in America,” said Ian Prior, senior counsel at America First Legal, in a statement to Fox News Digital
