The horrors that pervaded Loudoun County public schools arguably led directly to the 2021 election of Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin (R).
Among the many shocking scandals emanating from this woke school district was the cover-up of the sexual assault of at least two female students and the shuffling of the skirt-wearing male offender to another school.
This, along with other incidents of highly offensive wokeness in Loudoun County schools, set off the parents movement that swept the nation and flipped many school board seats to sensible parents who want to protect their districts’ children and ensure quality education, not woke indoctrination and dangerous pro-criminal policies that threaten every child. It is also ground zero of the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Merrick Garland-run corrupt DOJ against normal American parents, whom he declared “domestic terrorists” for attending and daring to speak at public school board meetings.
With all the noise coming out of that privileged little splotch of blue, we can lose sight of the fact that the father of one of the two girls who was sexually assaulted in school was convicted of disorderly conduct for protesting the sexual assault of his daughter at a school board meeting.
It was an outrageous arrest, an outrageous conviction, and it’s now been put right by Governor Youngkin.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Sunday he pardoned a dad who angrily protested a Loudoun County school’s handling of his daughter’s sexual assault.Scott Smith, a plumber who erupted at a rowdy school board meeting on June 22, 2021 — reportedly unleashing a storm of profanities — was arrested and subsequently convicted of disorderly conduct.“I spoke with Mr. Smith on Friday, and I had the privilege of telling Mr. Smith that I will pardon him, and we did that on Friday,” Youngkin told “Fox News Sunday.”“We righted a wrong. He should’ve never been prosecuted here. This was a dad standing up for his daughter.”. . . . “His daughter had been sexually assaulted in the bathroom of a school, and no one was doing anything about it,” Youngkin said, arguing the superintendent “covered it up.”The debacle sparked national outrage, especially among conservatives. A second attack with the same suspect was reported later in 2021.“Mr. Smith did what any father would do, what any parent would do, which is stand up for their child,” Youngkin continued. “This was gross miscarriage of justice.”
Smith responded to his pardon on Twitter (X).
