These Teachers Asked a Court to Block Enforcement of Loudoun County Schools’ ‘Transgender’ Policy — UPDATED
November 16, 2021 | Virginia
Update: The Loudoun County School Board has agreed to leave Tanner Cross alone — permanently. The board suspended him because he opposed the “transgender” policy, but a court ordered him reinstated. The Virginia Supreme Court upheld this decision. Now the board has agreed to remove references of the suspension from his personnel file and pay $20,000 toward his legal fees.
Tanner Cross, a physical education teacher at a government school in Loudoun County, Virginia, spoke at a school board meeting during the public comment period about a then-proposed rule that would require teachers and students to embrace “transgenderism” and refer to “transgender” male and female students by opposite-sex pronouns.
Cross said the biological sexes can’t be changed. Board members did not like that he stated a scientific fact, which was contrary to the government’s indoctrination, so they suspended him.
Cross filed a lawsuit against the Loudoun County School Board’s “transgender” policy and his suspension. A court contended that Cross likely would win his lawsuit and ordered the district to reinstate him while it was pending. Cross said that he’s a teacher, “but I serve God first.”..
