Youngkin Responds to Student Walk Outs Over New Transgender School Policies

Youngkin Responds to Student Walk Outs Over New Transgender School Policies

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s office has responded to students walking out of school this week in protest of the new state guidelines for how schools handle transgender issues.

Earlier this month, the state’s Department of Education released new guidelines saying that sports teams should be based on biological sex and focused heavily on parental rights.

The policies are sharply different than the 2021 guidance issued by Democratic Governor Ralph Northam’s administration.

The new guidance asserts that “parents are in the best position to work with their children and, where appropriate, their children’s health care providers to determine (a) what names, nicknames, and/or pronouns, if any, shall be used for their child by teachers and school staff while their child is at school, (b) whether their child engages in any counseling or social transition at school that encourages a gender that differs from their child’s sex, or (c) whether their child expresses a gender that differs with their child’s sex while at school.”

Previously, schools were told that they could hide students “gender identity” from parents.

On Tuesday, students in Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun, Arlington and Stafford counties walked out in protest of the new guidance.

Youngkin spokeswoman Macaulay Porter responded to the protests in a statement to Fox News.

“The guidelines make it clear that when parents are part of the process, schools will accommodate the requests of children and their families,”  Porter said. “Parents should be a part of their children’s lives, and it’s apparent through the public protests and on-camera interviews that those objecting to the guidance already have their parents as part of that conversation. While students exercise their free speech today, we’d note that these policies state that students should be treated with compassion and schools should be free from bullying and harassment.”

Gov. Youngkin also defended the new rules during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Wednesday. He stated that he has no intention of reversing the policy.

“We first want to love every kid,” Youngkin said. “And we want to make sure we’re protecting their dignity, and their privacy, and their safety. And the difference in what our policies are really focused on is indeed bringing parents fully in.”

“Biological boys shouldn’t be playing sports with biological girls,” Youngkin said. “It’s just not fair.”

The governor explained that the previous policy excluded parents from the conversation.

“The children don’t belong to the state,” Youngkin asserted. “They belong to families.”
