A Microcosm?

I don’t know if any of you are following what’s going on with the Loudoun county VA schools, but this editor is riveted. It seems to me that is ground zero in the fight to retake our public schools from the progressive ultra-leftists.

For those of you outside of Virginia, Loudoun county is in the northern part of the state and borders both Maryland and West Virginia. It is the third most populous county in the state. The county is one of the richest counties in the US.

Now on to the doings there, specifically news that Luke Rosiak broke over at the Daily Wire. His article is behind a paywall, however he lays out the issues in a lengthy twitter thread that I’ll post below. The thrust of the story, and it is truly horrifying, is that the man who was forcibly dragged from a school board meeting and arrested back in June was there to confront the board over the fact that his 9th grade daughter had been raped by a gender-fluid boy in the girl’s restroom at school. This was a direct result of the board’s policies.

The school @LCPSOfficial called the victim’s father, Scott Smith, and told him that they would handle the incident in house his reaction led the school to call the police who took his daughter to the emergency room where a sexual assault was confirmed by a rape kit

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the board and the Superintendent actively tried to cover up the rape. During the same meeting that saw the father of the rape victim arrested, “Dr.” Scott Zeigler, the superintendent, claimed there had been no issues arising from the school system’s trans bathroom policies. Either Zeigler was unaware of the 28 May rape or he was lying. I find it difficult to believe he hadn’t been informed, so that leaves one option.

Oh, but it gets worse. The rapist was transferred to another school and raped another girl.

The assailant in the assault at Broad Run High School is allegedly the same boy who assaulted Scott Smith’s daughter on May 28 at Stone Bridge High School @LCPSOfficial

As Loudoun schools sought to pass a controversial transgender policy in June, it concealed that a 9th-grade girl was allegedly raped by a "gender fluid" student in a school bathroom just 3 weeks prior, The Daily Wire has learned.https://t.co/t5IEv1vZZF

The father of the victim is a man you've seen: The bald man being dragged by the police.

The county's top elected prosecutor personally tried to put him in jail. He was issued a no-trespassing order keeping him from telling his story at the meeting where the trans policy passed.

The story is behind a paywall because this story is so shocking that it could only be told through a 5,000 word long, resource-intensive magazine-style piece, but I think it's worth subscribing to @realDailyWire for. Here is more of the top of the story. pic.twitter.com/j63cYKlAmD

Smith's image traveled around the world, a two-dimensional character. Perhaps we've divided into two camps, viewing the other side as cartoon villains, and talking too loud to listen. Would this situation have been helped with a "restorative justice" talk circle?

I thought this might be an opportunity for both sides to understand each other. It did not happen. Instead, we just have pain, fear and strife in Loudoun–the richest county in the country, with no real social problems–as courts and schools are converted to political machines
