Teens in Loudoun County, Virginia are greeting residents as they show up to the polls for early voting and asking them to consider school board candidates that oppose allowing boys to access girls locker rooms and bathrooms.
On the ballot is Matt Malone, an independent who vows to protect women’s-only spaces, challenging incumbent April Chandler in the Algonkian District. In the Sterling District, independent Amy Riccardi is challenging incumbent Arben Istrefi for the same reason.
Chandler and Istrefi have both stood by the Loudoun County School Board (LCSB) as it remains dead set on upholding its policy allowing facility use based on “gender identity.”
“I’ve been sick of it for quite a while. I just can’t put up with it anymore,” one teen told ABC 7News. “It’s not normal. It’s not something we should be supporting.”
“Participating in lacrosse in high school, it’s very challenging when I know that there is boys in the girls’ locker rooms or even the bathrooms, which concerns me a lot, especially because there are girls that are changing, and knowing that there’s a boy in there, concerns me that there are people not willing to do anything about this policy,” a Loudoun County student told 7News.
The student said the problem is even apparent in elementary school her younger brothers attend in the district.
