Virginia's Loudoun County School District has entered the spotlight yet again, this time for its plan to shell out nearly $11 million to "modernize" schools' currently gendered restrooms and locker rooms in favor of a more inclusive space for transgender students and to "improve student privacy."
"LCPS shall modernize school restrooms and locker rooms to improve student privacy and to promote the creation of single-user restrooms that are available to all students," the policy read.
Michael Rivera, a Loudoun County father of two and a school board candidate for the embattled district, believes the policy is not only a waste of taxpayer funding, but also overlooks another issue affecting students with special needs.
