"These radical gender policies are not just some abstract fight over politics they are hurting real children in Fairfax County schools every day. We are working with the U.S. Department of Education to reverse these policies and protect girls in our schools but every Virginia parent needs to understand this: @winwithwinsome will fight with you, and @SpanbergerforVA will fight against you," Youngkin wrote on X, formerly Twitter."
"Youngkin's remarks included claims from the Defense of Freedom Institute, a conservative group staffed by former Trump officials that recently filed a Title IX complaint against Fairfax County Public Schools. Title IX is a federal law passed in 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding. It has long been credited with expanding opportunities for women and girls in sports and academics. Republicans have claimed that protecting trans students under Title IX harms cisgender women in education and sports."
Gov. Glenn Youngkin publicly criticized Abigail Spanberger over Fairfax County policies that protect transgender students and framed those policies as harming girls in schools. Youngkin promoted his lieutenant governor nominee, Winsom Earle-Sears, and echoed Earle-Sears's complaints about Spanberger, who is a former CIA officer and three-term congresswoman leading in early polls. Youngkin said his administration is working with the U.S. Department of Education to reverse the policies. The remarks referenced a Title IX complaint filed by the Defense of Freedom Institute concerning a transgender girl at West Springfield High School who used the girls' locker room.
