The embattled school board of Louden County, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., cut off public opinion on Tuesday after parents blasted an initiative to install transgender policies in the schools. Such policies include forcing teachers to use students’ “preferred pronouns” and transgender restroom accommodations, effectively putting boys in girls’ bathrooms, and vice versa.
Fox News reports:
But it has become a hot-button issue in the district, where 259 residents signed up to speak during the public comment session Tuesday and people lined up at the doors early to get seats in the packed auditorium.
The first half-dozen speakers were in support of policy proposal 8040, but fireworks erupted when the seventh, who identified herself as the mother of a transgender Loudoun student, was booed after saying “hate” was “dripping from the followers of Jesus in this room” – a swipe at Christian parents in the district who have argued that transgender discussions should be held at home and not in public school.
After a five-minute recess, board chair Brenda Sheridan said school board members had voted unanimously to end public comment if the room erupted again.
Former state Sen. Dick Black, a Republican, excoriated the board over… allegations that progressive community members had organized a list of their conservative neighbors to harass and publicly shame. The chamber erupted in cheers, prompting the board to vote 9-0 to end public comment for the rest of the meeting – which led to loud chants of “Shame on you” directed at the board and demands that members resign.
While the crowd started singing the “Star-Spangled Banner,” two men who were cut off from speaking were arrested.

And the left has the gall to call conservatives Nazis. This is the epitome of Brown Shirt tactics. Forcefully shut down the opposition from speaking or acting because you don’t agree with what they think or believe.
The left wants our kids to turn queer
globalists and globalist puppets and libby snow flake sheep want American kids to turn queer just like libby snow flake sheep and their moderators .
Red diaper babies on the loose practicing their adversary to liberty program. Do unto communists first before they do unto you. Political speech has limits when it comes to Communists and their dictatorial policies need to be crushed.
More of the Baboozo’s legacy more BS men in woman bathrooms isn’t going to go over well no mater where ever it is pushed.
the easiest way to put the school board in its place is everybody pull Their kids out of that school an put them in a different school the school will lose funding they need to pay teachers an other bills
It appears that the corruption run way down to the school level. Shame on you communist vile demos and crats!
This is the thin end of the totalitarian wedge: arrest silence honest protestors and say: ‘I was only following orders,’ as did Adolf Eichmann at Nuremberg. Comrade Lenin would be so proud! The First Amendment to the US Constitution still holds. And remember the immortal words of Voltaire: ‘I may not agree with what you say, but I defend to the death your right to say it.’
You know-there may be a solution. Just give the males who call themselves females there very own venue. Give the real girls theirs and problem solved.
Why should hard working tax paying Americans pay for libby snow flake sheep whose parents collect welfare all their life, pay to add special bathrooms for idiots that believe there are more than 2 genders . . . . .
I live in Fairfax. I suggest to Loudon families that they should sue the school board for attempting or actually committing child abuse on the basis of the mixed bathrooms. I would also suggest enlisting the county’s sherrifs to assist with the resistance since it is clear that the school board has committed and intends to commit illegal and unconstitutional actions against the children, which fly in the face of human decency at the very least. The sherrifs might also be in a position to have child protective services join the resistance, or arrest them for nonperformance of critical care of students if CPS won’t do there jobs to protect the children. This is not a polititcal issue, but a child safety issue, and the residents of Loudon should not back down, but continue to presser the board. I hope for your full vindication in these matters.
For a school board to vote to suppress public discourse during their meeting is a 1st amendment violation. Like it or not public schools are run by the government Department of Education. Those arrested have a nice lawsuit in the making.
These communist ant God nutcases need removing from ever holding any form of Authority forever
Anti God
If I was a cop there I would not arrest anyone except maybe the board members. I also would not have boded any one who was speaking for the other side. Let them speak and when your turn comes up then you speak to taht person because any mother that allpws a , what High School student to change thier sex is an abusive parent. The kids doesn’t even know what toy to play with much less something as important as changing sex. The parent(s) in this/ these case(s) are dumber than the kids and shoukld have thier kids taken from them to protect the kids. Parents are so into showing how open minded or “woke” they are that they will sacrifice thier kids well being to do so. I am so glad I had parents that were parents and didn’t try to be the kids “best friend” at the expense of the kids health both mental and physical. This is where I draw the line at police support. These cops that don’t arrest rioters (whom ever they are but surely seem too not arrest anyone in support of the marxist/liberal/progressive movement and arrest anyone who is more conservative for the lest little percieved injustice don’t deserve the respect and are not up holding thier sworn duties and are not cops but just some idiot with a gun that has power on his side. He is a chicken s..t worthless breath of air. Now that said, I do want to know the circumstances surrounding the arrest of these people at this meeting. These board members should all be put on immediate recall and I would look in to not paying any local taxes. Example if I could get away with not having local taxes with held from my pay check I would do that. Vote these idiot\corruptscared school board menbers out and like I said try recalls or put up as many road blaocks as I could including thking them to court and suing.
