RICHMOND, VA – Today the Virginia Supreme Court agreed to take up Liberty Counsel’s challenge to the Fairfax County School Board case regarding its illegal policy in which the board added “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” and “gender expression” to its policy and student handbook. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman, Mat Staver, appeared before a three-judge panel of the Virginia Supreme Court arguing for the Court to take up the case.
Liberty Counsel represents Jake Doe, a minor, John and Jane, the parents, and Andrea Lafferty. This is one of several cases around the country, including a case in Virginia that has been blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court and cases in North Carolina and Texas where federal courts blocked the Obama administration’s LGBT directive to public schools.
