We’ve heard a lot about what’s going on in Loudoun County Public School (LCPS) system from the school board, from the parents, even from politicians. One of the concerns parents had was about the school’s cover-up of 2 sexual assaults.
We saw Barack Obama downplay parental concerns in Virginia as “fake outrage” when he came out to campaign for Terry McAuliffe in the governor’s race in the state. Obama’s “fake outrage” stance was exposed yesterday when he was found guilty by LCPS of two sexual assaults against a boy. The first occurred in May. However, the second case is still pending. Obama’s parents let him have it.
Today we’re hearing from the students themselves — they’re the people who are most affected by all these policies and actions and they had a few things they wanted to let out today. Students today marched out across schools, protesting the LCPS cover up that placed them in danger.

They chanted “Loudoun County protects rapists!” and they asked why were rapists allowed in the schools, which is a great question and one they never should have had to ask because it never should have happened.
Student shouts, “why was a rapist allowed in our school?”
Another yells, “this isn’t a political issue, this is a human issue. Listen to the students.”

This is having an effect on the governor’s race, as people who always voted Democrat — after seeing what was happening here and seeing Terry McAuliffe arguing against parents’ rights to be involved in their children’s education — are now saying that they have voted for Glenn Youngkin, according to Newsmax.
Loudoun High School students staged an unofficial walkout to support a girl being assaulted in the school’s bathroom. It sent a clear message to the school board about how they would like to see schools more secure, it was reported @Logan_RatickOn Tuesday, the “National Report” pic.twitter.com/WGzuYJht75

It also took on national implications when the arrest of the father upset over his daughter’s rape and the denial of the truth by the LCPS superintendent was then used by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) in their letter terming parents a threat and potential domestic terrorists. They’ve since apologized for the letter, but the DOJ still hasn’t retracted its order to establish a task force to look into the threats from parents against school boards which some have called chilling of First Amendment speech. Leaked emails also revealed that the White House was coordinating with NSBA regarding the letter. This raises questions about inappropriate political action. The funny coincidence that the President of the NSBA was appointed to a prestigious post on the National Assessment Governing Board added spice to all of this.
Bravo to the students who stood up for themselves. This never should have happened — and it wouldn’t have if the district had just been honest with the students and with the public. However, the LCPS cared more about politics and concealing truths than it did being honest and helping to stop rapists.
