Two former students said high school staff bankrolled their abortions without notifying their parents in 2021
Two former Fairfax County, Va., high school students have come forward saying that school officials arranged and funded their abortions without informing their parents, according to a report.
“Two Centreville High School students have provided letters, audio recordings, and additional documents showing that staff arranged and paid for their abortions—one when she was five months pregnant—without notifying parents, a direct violation of Virginia’s parental-notification statute,” conservative journalist Walter Curt wrote Wednesday in an X post.

One of the girls said her abortion took place in 2021, when she was only 17, while the other was “five months pregnant and pleading to keep her baby,” Curt wrote in his Substack report, which includes a handwritten statement from the first student about how school social worker Carolina Díaz scheduled the student’s appointment at the Fairfax Healthcare Center and paid the abortion fees. Díaz also allegedly told the second student that she “had no other choice” than to get an abortion.
The school did not notify either girl’s family, a “direct break with Virginia’s parental-notification law,” according to the report. The girls also said that school principal Chad Lehman knew of the abortions and that “taxpayers footed the bill,” Curt reported.
“Criminal as well as civil liability is in play,” Curt wrote—”everything from contributing to the delinquency of a minor to misuse of public funds.”
Fairfax County Public Schools has long faced scrutiny for violating the rights of students and parents. In June 2022, the school board approved guidelines to suspend students from fourth grade on up for “misgendering” peers who identify as transgender. Weeks later, the district prohibited teachers and administrators from telling parents when students as young as kindergarten-age claim to have “switched genders” at school.
“Teachers could not proceed with the ‘Supporting Gender-Expansive and Transgender Youth’ training until they checked the correct boxes, regardless of their personal beliefs,” the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.
Fairfax County Public Schools disputed Curt’s report but said it is “launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously,” according to 7News.
Curt in his X post slammed the school officials’ alleged actions, asking, “If there are two documented cases, how many more girls were funneled through this off-books pipeline?”
“This isn’t an abortion debate—it’s state-sponsored child coercion and a flashing red siren for parental rights,” Curt went on. “Fairfax County’s bureaucrats skipped cops, judges, and moms and dads to push terrified teens through a clinic door, and every official who signed off must face a criminal probe.”
