[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS now suing DOE for release of Federal funds - https://www.ffxnow.com/2025/08/29/breaking-fcps-sues-education-department-for-freezing-funding-over-transgender-policies/ .   FCPS should have to itemize legal spending in their budget.

It's so cute that they still think laws exist [/quote]

The point you’re making is sad. What are they supposed to do? If they bow to current Dept of Education demands they are will be in violation of the last court determination of the law. Law should matter.[/quote]

Correct, the law should matter.  Thus Title IX the federal statute takes precedence.  The 4th Circuit’s attempt and creating public policy from the bench [b]will be overturned.[/b]  Most school districts in VA understand this and have adjusted their policies accordingly.  FCPS and others in NOVA will continue to support the unsupportable.  The least they can do is join forces to save taxpayer money on legal fees. [/quote]

I guess what I don’t understand is do you operate under what you think will happen, or under what currently stands? Isn’t that the issue here? If they changed their policy, wouldn’t that open them up to lawsuits for violating the 4th District’s ruling? [/quote]

It's the 4th circuit, not the 4th district.  The ruling did not say FCPS MUST provide trans accommodations, it said that in that case FCPS MAY provide trans accommodations.  It also doesn't say that the federal government must continue to fund you if your policies go against federal policy.

For example, Harvard MAY racially discriminate, but the federal government doesn't have to fund them if that discrimination goes against federally policy.

A state may lower the drinking age to 12 and increase the speed limit to 00 mph but the federal government doesn't have to find their roads if that goes against federal policy.

Usually these federal policies are codified in laws and not based on executive whim and that is a legit argument but you didn't seem to know WTF you are talking about
