School covers up alleged rape by transgender student, arrests angry protective father

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/loudoun-county-schools-covered-up-rape-prosecuted-a-concerned-father-to-protect-its-transgender-agenda

More alarming than Smith’s arrest and subsequent prosecution, however, were the county’s attempts to hide what had happened to his daughter.

At that same school board meeting, the county’s superintendent claimed concerns about transgender policies were unreasonable because the school system had no record of a sexual assault ever taking place in a school bathroom.

This might be true, since school officials persistently tried to downplay the assault of Smith's daughter. They tried to avoid getting law enforcement involved, telling Smith they would handle it “in-house,” apparently in order to prevent controversy over their transgender policy. They also downplayed the assault when communicating with other parents, describing the incident as “something out of the ordinary.” And finally, they transferred the assailant to a different school, where he went on to sexually assault another student just a few months later.

"Want to handle this in house".

Where have we heard that before? Almost every police brutality case ever, maybe?

And look how that usually turned out.

This is old news... but yeah, who cares if boys who identify as girls wanna use girls bathroom, amirite? Nothing could possibly go wrong! 🙄

Don't be a biggoted transphobe! Let gender confused boys share bathrooms with little girls or else you're hateful! 🙄

A fight with parents is not a fight they can win, I suspect we'll see a lot more activist parents.

There's an important election for governor going on in Virginia (today, iirc) and that subject is gonna end up playing a key role in who wins, assuming the democrats don't rig it of course.

I can't wait for KMC to come in here and accuse the Father of Transphobia.

Leftists have already done that on other sites.

Fake news, here’s the real story:

So an account of the police investigation the school did not want?

It doesn't contradict anything in the other story though.

A Trumpster posting a spun story to push a false narrative, no way.

And both are right.

And wrong, in the sense of excusing the one's who are. 🙂

Granted the school shouldn’t have tried to cover it up, for whatever reason, but it’s unfair and disingenuous to drag trans teens into this, who just want to piss in peace.

It contradicts the main thrust of the story which is a trans panic. There is no evidence the student is trans, the bathroom rules came into effect *after* the incident, and the students in question were in a consensual relationship that turned violent.

Hmm, fair enough.

I will say using past relationships as proof against rape is bad form, the same way they did that trick of digging into a women's sexual history. Rapes can happen in marriages, after all.

Remember that the *vast majority* of rape incidents occur between people who know each other, or who are in pre-existing relationships. Not between perfect strangers. The trans rapist myth is just an extension of this misconception.

The vast majority of all crime is done in relationships.

Because they breach normal standards of gender and sex they get unjustifiably hit with shitty physical altercations.

And look how that usually turned out.

"Relying on state education records, supplemented by federal crime data, a yearlong investigation by The Associated Press uncovered roughly 17,000 official reports of sex assaults by students over a four-year period, from fall 2011 to spring 2015."

"Contrary to public perception, data showed that student sexual assaults by peers were far more common than those by teachers. For every adult-on-child sexual attack reported on school property, there were seven assaults by students, AP’s analysis of the federal crime data showed."

"Schools frequently were unwilling or ill-equipped to address the problem, AP found, despite having long been warned by the U.S. Supreme Court that they could be liable for monetary damages. Some administrators and educators even engaged in cover-ups to hide evidence of a possible crime and protect their schools’ image."

“No principal wants their school to be the rape school, to be listed in the newspaper as being investigated. Schools try to bury it. It’s the courageous principal that does the right thing,” said Dr. Bill Howe, a former K-12 teacher who spent 17 years overseeing Connecticut’s state compliance with Title IX, the federal law used to help protect victims of sexual assault in schools."

"Laws and legal hurdles also favor silence. Schools have broadly interpreted rules protecting student and juvenile privacy to withhold basic information about sexual attacks from their communities. Victims and their families face high legal thresholds to successfully sue school districts for not maintaining safe learning environments."

No way, I just used the word 'disingenuous' in another thread, it's officially my word of the day now.

Lmao Washington Post is fake news itself lol.

Washington Compost is more like it.
