Every Leader Involved in Awful Response to Loudoun Girls’ Bathroom Rape is Now Out of Office
“only two of the incumbent school board members ran for reelection, and both lost their races”
This is great news. All of these people have been voted out of office or decided not to run again.
The Daily Signal reports:
CLEAN SWEEP: Every Leader Involved in Botched Response to Loudoun Girls’ Room Rape Is Now Gone
A reckoning has come for Virginia’s Loudoun County, where the school board had a father arrested after he demanded answers regarding the rape of his daughter in a girls’ restroom.
The school board, the superintendent, and even the local prosecutor, whom the parents blamed for letting the assailant escape the sex offender list, have all been ousted or declined to run for reelection, according to preliminary election results.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj, a Democratic prosecutor bankrolled by the George Soros-funded Justice and Public Safety PAC, lost her reelection campaign last week. Biberaj conceded to Republican Bob Anderson on Wednesday.
Biberaj’s defeat comes after the county elected an entirely new school board. As The Daily Signal previously reported, only two of the incumbent school board members ran for reelection, and both lost their races.
The prosecutor and school board ousters come after the school board itself previously fired Superintendent Scott Ziegler after a grand jury compiled a report into the sexual assaults and alleged school board cover-up.
The story traces back to May 28, 2021, when a 15-year-old male student forced a girl to commit sex acts at Stone Bridge High School. The same student went on to sexually assault another girl in the girls’ restroom at Broad Run High School on Oct. 6. The Loudoun County Juvenile Court had found the perpetrator “not innocent” of charges of forcible sodomy and forcible fellatio. The student also pleaded “no contest” to charges of abduction and sexual battery on Oct. 6.
Then-Superintendent Ziegler said in a June 22, 2021, school board meeting that “the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist.” After that statement, Scott Smith, the May 28 victim’s father, spoke out and was arrested and eventually convicted on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. (Virginia’s Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, would go on to issue a complete pardon to Smith after he won election campaigning on parental rights.)

“This is great news.”
I disagree. Those people should be in prison as accessories. That they are no longer in position to repeat their crimes is merely okay news. It’s an improvement for the future. It is not justice.
You could argue that they indirectly enabled the second rape, but that wouldn’t make them accessories. And they certainly bear no liability for the first rape.
Donations to Fight for Schools was money well spent.
The good news is that that Soros nazi Buta Biberaj lost. The bad news was that it was by something like only 200 votes. This territory hasn’t been “secured.”
The worst news is that most children are in government-run schools. The best news is that many children have been removed from government-run schools.
This is true.
The typical American public school student is closely supervised by about one hundred adult strangers during a typical k-12 career.
And then there are all the casual encounters with adult strangers during those years.
Knowing what we know now about adults who devote their lives to being around children…….
is this really what you want for your child? your children? your grandchildren?

Way back G. Gordon Liddy always referred to Dr. Sowell as “the smartest man in America”, nothing I’ve heard Dr Sowell say or read from him has made me think otherwise.
The child rapist was found “not innocent”? What the hell is that? Anyone care to explain that nicety as I’m sure it’s a legal thing.
Juvenile court. Not a real court, different rules.
Offenses committed by juveniles aren’t called “crimes” as they are for adults. Instead, the term for criminal offenses that minors commit is “delinquent acts.” Instead of a trial, in the juvenile justice system the juvenile has an adjudication, or adjudicatory hearing. The child appears before a juvenile court judge and receives disposition, or a sentence, if they are found “guilty” or “not innocent.” However, juvenile proceedings differ from adult proceedings in several other ways.
That was literally true, since there was no indication that the rapist is transgender. Also, if the word “predator” is to have any meaning, it can’t be applied to every criminal. To me, at least, “predator” implies someone who chooses his victims at random, and is thus a threat to everyone. This boy raped his girlfriend when she decided that on that occasion she didn’t feel like having sex. At that point there was no reason to suppose he was a threat to anyone else.
I’m not sure whether his subsequently having raped or assaulted another girl changes that, or whether they too had formed a relationship and he again assumed that gave him the right to take what he wanted whether it was on offer or not. Remember that it wasn’t so long ago that rape within marriage was not a crime; that reflected an attitude certain people have, that hasn’t gone away just because the law has changed. But at any rate, when he made the statement it appears to have been true. His lie was more by omission; he didn’t tell Mr Smith “your daughter was not raped”, but that was the natural inference.
