Police in Loudoun County arrested two people following a local school board meeting in Virginia that turned unruly, with officials shutting down a public comment period during a heated debate about critical race theory and policy on transgender students.
Authorities said one person was accused of trespassing and issued a summons after refusing to leave school board property and another was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest on Tuesday, local TV station WJLA reported.
Parents attended the Tuesday meeting to voice their opinions on new policies that include allowing transgender students to choose which restrooms they use, in addition to requiring employees to use the students’ preferred names.
