In Virginia, Leftwing School Districts Are Ignoring the Law That Requires Them to Inform Parents About "Transitioning" Students

Something inside the brains of progressives broke in 2016. They began routinely ignoring the law and conspiring with each other on secret communications apps to "#Resist" the lawful authority of President Trump. This extended to the media and those involved in "science," as well leaders of professional organizations in law and medicine, to pervert their institutions to become #Resistance zombie institutions. The old institutions, with their hundreds of years of rules and ethics, were now dead, but their corpses continued shambling, with only one obsessive purpose: murmuring "I'm an experrrrrrt" and demanding submission.

And so it is that in 2023, school officials in progressive counties casually decide that they will break the law and become criminals.

Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears of Virginia said Tuesday that school boards who defied parental rights policies were "making themselves judge and jury."

"These are the same school boards who were against the governor's executive orders to get rid of the masks because that's what the parents wanted, and they are now in violation of Virginia law and the governor and the attorney general will be making a decision on the next process forward," Sears told "America Reports" co-hosts Sandra Smith and John Roberts. "But these policies, they are not controversial at all."

The Fairfax County Public School District announced Aug. 15 they would not follow new state guidelines that require schools to inform parents on issues surrounding gender identity and bullying. Alexandria City Public School also announced it would not adopt a policy according to the guidance.

"First of all, they say the children will, all children will be given privacy, all children will be respected, and all children will be treated with dignity. Again, nothing controversial," Sears continued. "The issue is the school boards are making themselves judge and jury and they are, again, pushing education in their own image. You hear them say 'we have made a determination.' But actually, you are not following the law and so something is going to have to happen."

I don't know what powers the governor has, but I hope Virginia has a provision like Florida's allowing him to suspend or fire local officials who are acting contrary to the law.

What we need is a law granting a right to sue government officials personally for any harms suffered if they violate the law.
