WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, a federal judge granted America First Legal and the Founding Freedoms Law Center’s (FFLC) motion for emergency relief in their new lawsuit against Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), temporarily blocking the district’s suspension of an LCPS student while the case moves forward. The court's order allows AFL’s client, a male student, to return to classes.
In its order, the Court required the Loudoun County Public School Board to “immediately place the remainder of S.W.’s 10-day suspension in abeyance, permit S.W. back into school starting on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, and allow him to continue with in-person education until the issues raised in this Complaint are resolved.” The Court scheduled a hearing for Friday to determine whether to issue a preliminary injunction—a longer temporary pause than the temporary restraining order issued today.
“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision and we look forward to fighting on behalf of our clients,” said Ian Prior, Senior Counselor at America First Legal.
“We’re pleased the court sees the importance of halting a wrongful punishment so our client continues his education until he is ultimately vindicated,” said Victoria Cobb, President of Founding Freedoms Law Center.
