Students to sue Loudon County schools after suspension upheld for complaints about girl in locker room

September 18, 2025

Two male high school students in Virginia are headed to federal court after their appeal against a Title IX sexual harassment ruling was denied by Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS).

The Christian Post reports that the two male sophomores from Stone Bridge High School were disciplined in March after complaining about a biological female classmate using the boy’s locker room.

The incident, which was captured on cellphone video, took place when several boys wondered why a female student who identifies as a boy was being allowed to change in their locker room.

The boys received a 10-day suspension and a permanent mark on their academic records for sexual harassment under Title IX, in response to the video.

The young men appealed their suspension but LCPS denied their appeal, setting the stage for a lawsuit to be filed, in partnership with America First Legal.

According to the Christian Post, the lawsuit demands the removal of the Title IX charges from the boys’ records, an immediate halt to the ongoing suspension of the student still enrolled in the district, and compensation for “severe emotional, reputational, and educational harm” inflicted on the families.

Founding Freedoms Law Center President Victoria Cobb described the district’s decision as “a gross abuse of authority,” adding, “By falsely labeling these boys as sexual harassers, Loudoun County is weaponizing Title IX to punish free speech and religious conviction.”

Cobb continued, “No child should face suspension or a permanent scar on their record simply for standing up for their privacy.”

One of the boys has since left the district but the other is still a student in LCPS and faces suspension.

Seth Wolfe, the father of the boy still attending school in the district, said, “If the district can weaponize Title IX in this way, no family is safe.”
