Dem Candidate Exposed After Transgender Caught Masturbating in HS Girls’ Locker Room [WATCH]

The U.S. Department of Education has cut Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) off from the Magnet School Assistance Program over the district’s refusal to block males from girls’ restrooms, following a warning issued a week earlier by Secretary Linda McMahon.

The department’s action also targeted resistance school districts in New York City and Chicago.

FCPS’s funding outlook has grown more uncertain with new allegations that the district repeatedly affirmed the right of a male student with “facial hair,” wearing pants so tight “they clearly outlined his genitalia,” to watch girls in a locker room as they changed for physical education class.

According to a complaint, girls who objected were told to either change faster or use a single-occupancy restroom.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin launched a probe last month following separate allegations that FCPS officials facilitated abortions for students without parental consent and used public funds to do so.

The funding clash arrives in the middle of Virginia’s gubernatorial race.

GOP nominee Winsome Earle-Sears has criticized FCPS policies and sought to link them to Democratic frontrunner Abigail Spanberger.

“A freshman girl was told to find another place to change because she was uncomfortable that a boy was in her locker room watching her,” Earle-Sears wrote on X.

“Abigail Spanberger voted for that.”

Northern Virginia counties have drawn national attention amid reports involving a male registered sex offender who identifies as a woman appearing in public facilities near children.

This summer, WJLA published video showing lifetime offender Richard Kenneth Cox leaving an FCPS water park for children with disabilities and walking toward a playground.

Despite a designation barring him from being within 100 feet of a “child day program,” he was not charged in that incident.

Cox appeared in Arlington County court this week on charges of exposing himself in high school girls’ locker rooms, according to reporter Nick Minnock.

He repeatedly asked the judge to stop the prosecutor from identifying him as a man.

A mother testified that Cox was “masturbating in a shower stall with the curtain open” when she and her young daughter entered the pool women’s locker room, which is open to the public outside school hours, Minnock reported.

Spanberger, asked by a WSET reporter last week whether she supports males in female sports and restrooms, said she would back legislation letting localities decide case by case which “children” play which sports at what age based on “competitiveness, fairness and safety.”

She did not directly address the restroom question and described herself as “the mom of three daughters” in public schools.

Her answer is a word salad of EPIC proportion.

The Education Department placed five northern Virginia districts on “high-risk status” last month after they declined to eliminate gender identity restroom policies, shifting them from upfront federal disbursements to a reimbursement process.

FCPS temporarily lost access to $13 million pending a federal review this summer.

Superintendent Michelle Reid has said the district could lose up to $167 million after a federal judge dismissed FCPS’s lawsuit seeking to block future freezes.

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ), which is already under federal investigation for alleged discrimination against Asian-American applicants, will not receive its scheduled $3.4 million on Oct. 1 due to McMahon’s action.

While that amount is small relative to FCPS’s $4 billion annual budget, it represents nearly 2% of the district’s federal funds in last year’s budget.

The Associated Press reported it had seen letters to Fairfax County, New York City, and Chicago, and that FCPS received the fewest demands; the department has only made the Chicago letter public.

WTOP, citing “a person familiar with the situation,” reported the department also rejected a separate “small” FCPS reimbursement request.

A department spokesperson told the outlet its Office for Civil Rights “cannot certify” FCPS is compliant with civil rights law and said “they will not be getting another MSAP grant.”

The Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI) filed a Title IX complaint Wednesday on behalf of an unidentified mother and her daughter, a 14-year-old freshman at West Springfield High School.

The complaint says that on Sept. 2 the student saw a male with facial hair and skintight pants “standing inside” the girls’ locker room and watching girls “in various stages of undress.”

A teacher allegedly told her staff could not stop him from entering.

According to the complaint, the student’s mother called the administration and did not receive a same-day response; other parents called by Sept. 4.

An administrator told her that morning the school was “looking into the right of the boy to enter” and advised that her daughter “use a different facility, such as a unisex bathroom.”

An afternoon call promised a “solution” that did not involve excluding the male from the girls’ space.

On Sept. 10, the complaint says, the male watched again as girls changed, prompting a student to take a photo.

On Sept. 11, the male entered again. Assistant principals Shannon Matheny and Amy Tasaka met that day with the mother.

The “school resource officer” confirmed the photo’s authenticity.

The assistant principals said they were reviewing the male’s rights and had told him to stop entering, but acknowledged he had been in the locker room that morning.

They used male pronouns to describe him and told the mother that filing a Title IX complaint with FCPS would not stop his access.

On Sept. 22, school staff “cut short” freshman girls’ changing time so they would be out before the male came in with the sophomore girls.

Administrators told the mother “the boy has a right to use the girls’ locker room because he identifies as female,” the complaint states.

It adds that “upon information and belief,” the male “has also used the boys’ locker room and bathrooms.”

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 US Department of Education to reverse these policies and protect girls in our schools but every Virginia… https://t.co/iVCIodEFh6

DFI said district policy gives “[g]ender-expansive and transgender students … the option of using the facilities that correspond to the student’s sex assigned at birth” in addition to facilities corresponding with gender identity, arguing that the provision renders “gender” distinctions meaningless for intimate facilities.

The complaint also notes that, apart from President Trump’s executive orders this year, the Supreme Court unanimously agreed a year ago to block the gender-identity provision of the Biden-Harris administration’s Title IX regulation while the justices split on striking down the full regulation.

Reid said on Sept. 16 that the Department of Education was forcing FCPS to “either break that law” and discriminate against students or risk losing up to $167 million.

In a Sept. 25 statement, she cited precedent from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“FCPS always seems to make the wrong choice in these matters,” DFI President Bob Eitel said. It must “end its massive resistance against federal civil rights enforcement.”

FCPS spokesperson Kathleen Miller told Just the News on Friday the district had not “received a complaint on this issue from the Department of Education,” two days after DFI’s filing, but said “school staff are aware of the situation and have been addressing the concerns by working with the students and their respective families.”

She declined further comment “to honor our student confidentiality obligations under state and federal law” and did not answer a question about citing 4th Circuit precedent after the Supreme Court’s action last year.

FCPS previously faced criticism after TJ and two other high schools delayed notifying students of National Merit Awards until after early application deadlines, affecting Asian-American students and prompting accusations from parents that high achievers were disadvantaged in the name of equity.
