In 2021, parents across the country joined with activist groups and political figures at all levels to engage in heated--sometimes violent--fights over issues such as COVID mandates, retrofitting bathrooms to accommodate changing gender representation, and the teaching of American history through the lens of race. At the epicenter of this outrage machine was Loudoun County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and the wealthiest county in the nation. As the county's beloved public schools information officer for more than twenty years, Wayde Byard had a front-row seat to the transformation of public education to a vicious political knife-fight. Accused, along with the superintendent, by a conservative governor and attorney general of covering up a crime, Byard became something he never expected--a target of a politically motivated felony investigation. The Battle for Loudoun County provides a rare and intimate window into the dangers of America's "bathroom wars" and the culture of outrage that, if left unchecked, will tear our country apart.
