Eighth-Grade Girl Says What School Board Officials are Afraid to Admit

Written by Dr. James Dobson | June 23, 2021

A Virginia school district is proposing a policy that will allow "boys into girls' locker rooms."

A draft of the policy put forth by Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) states that "students should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their gender identity."

At a recent board meeting, a 14-year-old female student said, "Two years ago, I was told … you weren't going to allow boys into the girls' locker rooms. But here you are doing just that."

The student also stated, "Now, boys are reading erotica in the classroom next to girls, and you want to give them access to girls' locker rooms and you want to force girls to call those boys 'she.'" She added, "Everyone knows what a boy is—even you."

In 2016, Dr. James Dobson warned about this outrageous development, saying, "Who would have believed a day would come during my lifetime when boys could meander into the private sanctuary of girls' restrooms, or that it would someday be a civil right for men to use women's locker rooms and showers without permission or apology? Imagine sex-absorbed middle school boys ogling the bodies of developing pubescent girls or standing beside them in their showers. Have we gone absolutely mad? Whatever happened to modesty, safety, and Christian mores?"

There's nothing else to say. Our children—and God's design for marriage—are under attack. Shame on us if we won't have at least the same amount of courage as this brave 14-year-old girl. We must speak the truth and stand up to protect the next generation from this onslaught.
