Can’t get a Confederate history declaration though.
Loudoun County Public Schools has recognized October as LGBTQ+ History Month, encouraging students, staff and the community to honor and celebrate the history and contributions of LGBTQ+ people.
The school division’s proclamation cites a commitment to equity, belonging and inclusion and says LCPS seeks to provide a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for students and staff.
The proclamation also states that the school division rejects discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
The recognition has drawn criticism from some Loudoun County parents and community members who oppose the school division’s approach to LGBTQ+ issues. LCPS has recognized LGBTQ+ History Month in previous years, including 2024 and 2025.
