Virginia will block schools from accommodating trans students, in a major rollback of LGBTQ rights
” for schools’ treatment of transgender students released Friday evening, the Department of Education is requiring that families submit legal documentation to earn their children the right to change names and genders at school. The guidelines also say teachers cannot be compelled to refer to transgender students by their names and genders if it goes against “their constitutionally protected” free speech rights.
“These 2022 Model Policies reflect the Department’s confidence in parents to prudently exercise their fundamental right under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Virginia Constitution to direct the upbringing, education, and control of their children,” thestate. “This primary role of parents is well established and beyond debate. Empowering parents is essential to improving outcomes for children.”
But — in a move that is likely to draw legal challenges — the Youngkin administration has used that same law to issue its own version of the Education Department guidelines. The 20-page document released Friday states it is being issued “as required under” the 2020 legislation.The Youngkin administration is also attempting to repurpose the period of public scrutiny the Northam-era rules were subjected to.
