Suit was filed earlier this week in a Virgina state trial court by a high school student challenging Fairfax County School Board regulations (full text) that support transgender students. The complaint (full text) in Doe v. Fairfax County School Board, (VA Cir. Ct., filed 3/4/2024), alleges in part:
… FCPS Regulation 2603.2 and its application unconstitutionally violates the Petitioner’s sincerely held philosophical and religious beliefs by compelling her to refer to “[s]tudents who identify as gender-expansive or transgender [] by their chosen name and pronoun ….
… [They] further unconstitutionally violate the Petitioner’s philosophical and religious beliefs by compelling her to share a restroom with a biological male.
… [They] unconstitutionally discriminate against the Petitioner on the basis of her sex by requiring her to use a private restroom to remain consistent with her beliefs while allowing a biological male to use the female restroom… [and by permitting] a biological male to feel safe and comfortable by having full access to any restroom of his choice while not allowing the Petitioner to feel safe and comfortable by using the restroom of her biological sex….
… FCPS has knowingly and blatantly violated the Petitioner’s rights by forcing her to accept the ideological viewpoint of the government and the claimed rights and privileges of other students.
