A Virginia school district has launched an investigation into three boys who did nothing more than wonder aloud why a girl was changing in the boys’ locker room at their high school.
Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), the same school district that covered up a sexual assault by a transgender student, has accused the three boys of committing sexual harassment. But according to one of the boy’s fathers, the district has it all wrong.
Seth Wolfe, the father of a sophomore at Stone Bridge High School, told Fox News that the boys simply had a conversation among themselves about why the girl was changing in their locker room.

“This was a conversation that he was having among his peers,” Wolfe said. “He wasn’t even questioning the student or anything like that. And then not being able to have those rights to even question that, and on top of that, being investigated, it’s very confusing.”
But it gets even more confusing. It turns out that the girl whom the boys were talking about pulled out her phone and started recording them in clear violation of the school district’s no audio/video recording policy. Yet she isn’t the one who’s now in trouble.
The three boys’ lawyer, Founding Freedoms Law Center attorney Josh Hetzler, told Fox News that the boys did nothing wrong.
“I want to make very clear: These boys did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said. “All they did was ask, ‘Why is there a girl in our locker room?’ and they expressed concern. None of the boys ever spoke to this girl once, so there is no basis for this investigation.”
“It’s truly an insane situation where the ones who are the real victims are the ones being punished,” he added.
So why is there an investigation in the first place? Because of the school district’s pro-transgender bathroom/locker room policies that just so happen to violate both state law and federal law.
“I think they should repeal the current policy, and I think they should come up with a policy that can keep all individuals safe, transgender, non-binary, and everything in between,” the father of one of the three boys anonymously told local station WJLA.
“I think the policy itself creates an unsafe environment for all kids at all levels, from the elementary schools and middle school to the high school. I think it creates an unsafe and unclear message for them,” he added.

The good news is that LCPS is now being investigated by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares, both Republicans.
“It’s deeply concerning to read reports of yet another incident in Loudoun County schools where members of the opposite sex are violating the privacy of students in locker rooms,” Youngkin said in a statement.
“Even more alarming, the victims of this violation are the ones being investigated—this is beyond belief. I’ve asked Attorney General Miyares to investigate this situation immediately so that every student’s privacy, dignity, and safety are upheld,” the governor added.
“I can’t imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have a member of the opposite sex in the locker room where people were obviously changing clothes, and then later, on top of that, recording it,” Miyares added.
“Even though they’re the victims in this, somehow, they’re being treated as perpetrators. I think this is an example, yet again, a school district that tries to be so open-minded their brain falls out,” he continued.
The boys are backed by at least one Loudoun County School Board member, Deana Griffiths.
“What we are seeing and will continue to see are the consequences of policies that have introduced confusion and conflict into spaces that were once clear and safe, especially for young children,” she told WJLA. “The truth is, many of these issues would never have arisen if we had upheld the basic principle that boys and girls are biologically different.”
“LCPS students deserve their own private, secure spaces, particularly in bathrooms and locker rooms. Recognizing biological differences isn’t discriminatory; it’s common sense, and it’s essential for protecting the dignity and safety of all children,” she added.
