Loudoun County School Board Storms Out After Parents Confront Them Over MS-13 Student
The middle school suspended the student in May 2023. The student currently attends Loudoun Valley High School.
The Loudoun County School Board is in the news again because the members stormed out of a meeting after parents confronted them over the enrollment of a student who belongs to the MS-13 gang.
Blue Ridge Middle School suspended the illegal alien student “in May 2023 for bringing a firearm to school and threatening students.”
The student currently attends Loudoun Valley High School. The sheriff’s office claimed it took the May 2023 incident seriously but said, “The situation is complex.”
A worried father confronted the Loudoun County School Board about the issue, but the elected officials refused to address the concerns and stormed out of the room. One school board member shut him down within seconds of him giving a public comment, stifling the father’s allotted time behind the podium.
“Recently, the local media covered a story where a known gang member with a criminal record was suspended from LCPS and was allowed back in the schools,” the dad said before he was interrupted by the board. He was given two warnings to leave the podium, but the dad fired back: “I’m not stopping!”
The dad wouldn’t stop. He wanted the board to explain why the school enrolled the student, “citing safety concerns.”
The dad left the podium.
Then, the school board cut off public comments, causing more outrage:
“There needs to be a public vote to end public comment!” a mother of a student shouted out, who was presumably upset by the announcement. “Make a vote. Go ahead and vote on it. Make a decision to end public comment, and all of you raise your hands and tell every single person that’s sitting in this room that you want to violate their First Amendment and stop your constituents from speaking.”
A school board member told the mother, “You are out of order!” The board then decided to officially end public comment without a vote and stormed out of the room, leaving the parents left without answers.
The parents mentioned the student last month.
The board refused to answer questions from parents and reporters. From September 25:
On Monday, at a Loudoun County school board meeting, all seven board members refused to answer questions about the migrant student. A reporter with the network was met with deafening silence after asking the board, “Are you comfortable with a student attending Loudoun Valley High School this year who previously threatened to kill a fellow student and was arrested for carrying a gun” and “What are you doing as a school board member to keep students safe from violence, gun violence, and gang activity at Loudoun Valley High School and other schools?”

It can’t be said often or loud enough:
Get your kids out of public school.
It can be said, but it easier said than done,..Due to the Harris economy, a lot of parents cannot afford it
The entire community should refuse to pay their school tax bill. That will get the Marxist’s”’ attention.
They’ll take your house
Most of the community voted for these people.
Whether parents can afford it or not depends largely on their priorities.
Exactly. There are a lot of creative ways to go about homeschooling if you’re willing to take the responsibility of your own children and make the sacrifices necessary. There’s a room full of people there at that schoolboard meeting that could get together and help each other instead of bitching at a bunch of useless political parasites who care nothing for their kids.
Doing it is a matter of will, lifestyle changes, no cruises, local vacations, not eating out, not buying prepackaged food. Doing our own repairs. Not having children too soon.
NOT carrying debt.
This is a direct consequence of electing school board members based on the number of their political signs along the roadside.
Pay some freaking attention to whom you elect, parents!
Loudon County, VA is San Francisco East! Whacky Libs abound!
Will the parents who are outraged by this change their votes in the next school board election? And given the teachers’ union there, will it matter?
It won’t matter, sadly. Trump only won 36% of the 2020 vote in Loudoun County. 20-years ago, Bush won the county with 56% of the vote, a 20-point swing in just 20-years. Before that, it was even more deeply red. The change (due to growth) in the county has been incredible. As MarkS says above, it really is turning into San Francisco of the east.
My brother lived in Loudoun county about 20 years ago. Nice, quiet, rural place back then. As the rich lefties that work in DC have to move farther and farther away to distance themselves from the unwashed masses, it became an extension of the leftist madness that is the DC metro area.
I’m sure there are still quite a few conservatives left there…mainly the ones who’ve refused to sell the land that’s been in their family for generations to the developers, but they’re well outnumbered by the nutballs.
My brother got out while the gettin’ was good. After living there for ten years, he sold his house for almost three times what he paid for it (shortly before the 2008 housing market crash) and used the money to pay cash for a bigger, newer house in Nebraska.
Good choice.
Truth. I was born and raised in Loudoun County, and it was very rural up until about 1984 or so. Then they started building a ton of new planned communities and all sorts of people started moving in. By the 90’s, the whole county started changing.
Now, it’s a solidly blue county populated with defense contractors, government workers, and data center managers.
I got out in 2004, not a moment too soon.
Parents-locate the homes of the board members and assemble legally there.
These despicable school board pukes display the imperial and obnoxious arrogance, entitlement, unaccountability and contempt of the Dhimmi-crat apparatchik ruling class. They will not countenance the peasants of the proletariat possessing the temerity to criticize and/or scrutinize their policies and to demand explanations and accountability.
I wonder if school board members are immune from personal lawsuits if they so visibly ignore an identified public safety risk and something bad happens?
Almost absolutely immune. Absent some credible demonstration that they’re involved in a criminal activity/conspiracy, they’re protected by a virtually impenetrable immunity shield. IOW, so long as they’re acting ‘within the scope’ of their official responsibilities, they’re immune. Literally EVERY person working at every level of government – local/municipal, state & Federal – has long enjoyed robust tort immunity (some of it granted by statute, but some of it granted by judicial decree) so long as they have a colorable defense that they were executing their authority within the confines of the law.
I suspect that if our ‘authorities’ continue to refuse any accountability from the formal judicial system then sooner or later an alternative, informal, adhoc system may arise and they will not have any immunity in those proceedings. Especially so when they keep deliberately sacrificing children to the needs of supporting the approved narrative.
…. except that is is not “within the scope of their official responsibilities” to purposefully and knowingly endanger children.
I imagine they’re immune.
New Mexico ended qualified immunity for law enforcement and all civil servants a couple of years ago. The only reason I supported it was because it included government employees who were at the forefront of screwing over NM citizens for years.
This is where the trans”girl” assaulted real girls in the girl’s bathroom.
Twice.
I knew we’d heard the name, Loudoun County…
There’s also a Loudon County, Tn.
Yep. First time this happened was at Broad Run High School. I graduated from there many years ago, back when it’s nickname was “Cornfield High.”
He wasn’t trans, and he wasn’t there to prey on random girls. The victim was his girlfriend, and he was there because that was their regular place where they would meet for consensual sex. On this occasion, for some reason she said no, and he ignored her refusal.
The second incident at his new school didn’t take place in a restroom.
He “wasn’t trans,” he “just liked wearing skirts.”
There are no “lines” anymore, just a big rainbow spectrum to squish on.
Indeed. He identified as male, had a female girlfriend with whom he would regularly meet in the girls’ restroom for heterosexual activities; a mere liking for skirts doesn’t make him trans, or else a good many Scottish men would be trans.
It was my understanding that as a result of the furor two or three years ago, the intervening school board election relegated the wokeistas to an impotent minority. Apparently, this assessment was overoptimistic,

How a School District Got Caught in Virginia’s Political Maelstrom
Loudoun County tried to address racism and promote diversity within its schools. Then it found itself on Fox News.
The gang motto is “kill, rape, control”
So if he is a member of this game he has committed a murder, right? Isn’t that how ones becomes a member?
Their imperatives seem to be in reverse order.
There is a quote from the television show “Firefly” that is “And if we are lucky, they will do it in that order.”
Thats nice. School boards are elected so what are they doing up there as their out of control nonsense has been in the news for several years
Since the government schools are “The One Best System”, school administrators and board members have an unshakable belief in their system, and therefore are reluctant to expel students for any reason.
This is why the government bureaucratic school system must be disestablished. It is an un-American disaster.
Given the Leftist inclinations of most of the populace and elites of the County it can be assumed that besides their contempt for the populace there is the matter of automatic deference to hostile foreign invaders and a fear of the possibility of MS-13 retaliating if they are interfered with by mere laws or concern for the safety of students.
Subotai Bahadur
and someone needs to out the student
with the msm backing up the “anti racists” ( yeah we know them better as leftists)
its going to take a mass exodus of tax money to stop these terrorists from lynching the maga crowd
dont forget these lefty racist terrorists OUTED people who opposed them back in 2021 giving their names and addresses etc alllll over social media
so if you want to play nice
do it at your own peril
