Glen Sturtevant, a Virginia state senator, posted a series of tweets on October 2, 2025, addressing issues related to school policies and political stances in the state.
In his first tweet at 19:46 UTC, Sturtevant posed a question to an AI account: “@grok, what is munchausen by proxy?”
Minutes later, at 19:52 UTC, he commented on local education policy with criticism directed at the Albemarle County School Board. He wrote: “Albemarle school board is going to be BIG MAD about this. Keeping boys out of girls’ locker rooms and sports?! That’s hate speech at Albemarle central office. They really want you, and especially your kids, to participate in their delusions. Sick puppies.”
At 19:58 UTC the same day, Sturtevant referenced two Virginia politicians in relation to the ongoing debate over school policies. He stated: “I know where Winsome stands on this. Will the VA media ask Spanberger where she stands? Will she undo this commonsense policy if elected? (We all know she will…but I would like to hear the Word Salad answer nonetheless).”
The context for these remarks includes ongoing debates within Virginia regarding student access to facilities such as locker rooms and participation in sports teams based on gender identity. Glen Sturtevant has previously voiced support for policies that restrict access based on biological sex and has criticized opponents who advocate for more inclusive approaches.
Winsome Sears serves as Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor and has publicly supported legislation aligning with Sturtevant’s views on these issues. Abigail Spanberger is a U.S. Representative from Virginia who is considered a potential candidate for higher office; her stance on specific school facility policies has been under scrutiny amid broader discussions about transgender rights in schools.
