This may have been posted elsewhere.

A teacher has publicly quit a school in Virginia in protest at the schools transgender policy. The quote focuses on her religious beliefs which is a bit of a shame because her message is clearly that this ideology is harming vulnerable children. She is clearly highly principled and concerned.

I think it’s a slightly (slightly?) more balanced piece from the independent for once.

God knows how this will end. The 'progressives' in America are fanatical about 'trans rights' but I cant see americans accepting their children being assulted, and/or needing a de-programming session after each school day.

When your ideaology calls for you to excuse, pontificate, gaslight when a child has been raped.. yeah.. you have lost the plot. You are definitely on the wrong side.

And rape happening once is once too many. These people all need to be fired. It’s getting so that it’s a free for all on girls in school.

This is a sexual predators dream. If you want to rape and assault a girl and have people excuse you, then this is a great time to be alive! All you have to do is say you’re a woman and wear skirt.

I don’t know about you ladies.. but I am waiting for that next level in evolution where women develop teeth below the waist. Anything unwanted and uninvited should be ripped off and the man bled to death.

That's so awful!

I have no words-this is truly horrific. People should lose their jobs over this.

The male pupil who was moved to another school, then abducted and attacked another girl.

"Elizabeth Lancaster has stated that the same male youth who was charged with the sexual assault of Smith's daughter in May was also charged just months later with the sexual battery and abduction of another student, this time at Broad Run High School. The incident occurred while they were awaiting his guilty plea to be filed on the charges of assaulting Smith's daughter.

The Loudoun County Sherriff's Office confirmed in a statement that on October 6, a 15-year-old boy was charged with sexual battery and abduction after police said he forced a girl into an empty classroom, held her against her will, and touched her inappropriately."

That is unfortunately going to happen more and more if this is not stopped. I found this account of it. The lunatics have control of the asylum.

9th grade means the daughter was 14/15 years old. Sodomised in a school. Called a liar. Silenced. This is heartbreaking.

It's horrific. Angry

Good, long, deep investigation.

Our students do not need to be protected

Basically no safeguarding at all then, unless you have specific feelz, and not getting exactly what you want is literally violence.

GrandmaMazur · 12/10/2021 07:28

I want to cry - that’s one of the worst things I’ve read. How can someone be so blind to the horror of what that poor girl experienced because of trans ideology?

Datun · 12/10/2021 06:50

According to the dais, a school board member painted his claims about student safety as paranoia, stating "Our students do not need to be protected, and they are not in danger ... Do we have assaults in our bathrooms and locker rooms regularly?"

Regularly? Fucking regularly? That's their defence? That a girl was anally raped in their school, because of their own misogynistic policies, but its ok because it doesn't happen regularly.

This is the insanity of transgenderism.

OnlyTheTitosaurusOfTheIceberg · 12/10/2021 06:16

Dear god, that’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard of happening in a school. That poor, poor girl and her poor father.

Loudoun County Schools Tried To Conceal Sexual Assault Against Daughter In Bathroom, Father Says

ALittleBitofVitriol · 12/10/2021 04:55

wow, thanks for that update PurgatoryOfPotholes. Heartbreaking.

AnyOldPrion · 12/10/2021 04:46

I want to cry reading that. Silencing a man whose daughter has been raped, in order to preserve their sick insistence that boys must be allowed to invade girl’s spaces is about as abhorrent as it gets.

There aren’t really words strong enough to express how I feel.

More information about that school and why the teacher might have resigned.

extract

A father who was arrested at a school board meeting in Loudoun, Virginia has come out and revealed that his daughter was brutally sexually assaulted at her school by a male in the girl's washroom.

On June 22,Scott Smith was dragged out of a Loudoun County school board meetingby police after getting into a vocal altercation with board members over theproposed policy that would enshrine the abilityfor students to use whatever bathroom they chose.

The scuffle was caught on tape and went viral shortly after, showing Smith being pulled from the venue in cuffs with a bloody lip.

Smith was ultimtely charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

But disturbing new details are emerging as Smith has come forward to explain what happened that day, and accuse the Loudoun County school board of ignoring his daugher's sexual assault in a girl's restroom at her school.

Smith claims the assault occurred on May 28, in which a 15-year-old boy, allegedly wearing a skirt, entered a girl's bathroom at Stone Bridge High School, where he proceeded to sexually assault Smith’s ninth-grade daughter.

The records are sealed due to the youth's ages, but Smith's attorney, Elizabeth Lancasterrecently spoke to mediaand confirmed that a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio, related to an incident that day at that school.

“If someone would have sat and listened for thirty seconds to what Scott had to say, they would have been mortified and heartbroken,” Scott’s attorney, Elizabeth Lancaster is quoted as saying.

Smith attended the June 22 meeting and spoke about his daughter's assault, noting that the assailant was able to access the girl's washroom because of the lax gender identity policies.

According to the dais, a school board member painted his claims about student safety as paranoia, stating "Our students do not need to be protected, and they are not in danger ... Do we have assaults in our bathrooms and locker rooms regularly?"

Smith was finally ejected from the school board meeting after a heated exchange with a woman wearing a rainbow heart shirt who allegedly told Smith she "didn't believe" his daughter about her sexual assault.

The woman, since identified as Jackie Schworm, allegedly threatened to "ruin" Smith's plumbing business for claiming his daughter had been sexually assaulted by the trans student. To which Smith replied, "You're a b*tch."

A police officer then quickly moved to seperate the two by pulling on Smith's arm, but that led to a full-on scuffle between them after Smith yanked his arm away. The officer apparently took this as a sign of aggression, and Smith was struck in the face and pulled to the ground before being handcuffed.

Smith was found guilty of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in August, to which he wassentenced to 10 daysin jail, suspended for one year and contingent on good behaviour.

Speaking to The Daily Caller, Scott Smith said the juvinile court which adjudicated his daughter's sexual assault case assured him the rapist had been confined to house arrest at his mother's residence. But that appears to have not been the case after all, as the young man appears have struckagainsince then at another school.

Elizabeth Lancaster has stated that thesamemale youth who was charged with the sexual assault of Smith's daughter in May was also charged just months later with the sexual battery and abduction of another student, this time at Broad Run High School. The incident occurredwhile they were awaitinghis guilty plea to be filed on the charges of assaulting Smith's daughter.

The Loudoun County Sherriff's Officeconfirmed in a statement that on October 6, a 15-year-old boy was charged with sexual battery and abduction after police said he forced a girl into an empty classroom, held her against her will, and touched her inappropriately.

The assailant is now being held at Loudoun County Juvenile Detention Center. His identity cannot be revealed due to the fact he is a minor.

Smith and his attorney have stated that a final conviction for this boy on the charge of his daughter's assault is expected imminently, likely in the form of a plea deal to a charge of felony aggravated sexual battery.

In the US, the Christian extremes and the Gender extremes are built from the same cloth - their beliefs trumps other's rights and they demand their beliefs be encoded into civic life - from public schools to courtrooms. Both ideologies are anti-science and far from how the majority of people want to live their lives. One group wants Purity Balls where girls promise virginity for their father to protect, the other wants children to be raised by Glitter families and sent on a lifetime of medication and surgery. They're both bonkers.

Oh dear. 🙄

Delphinium20 · 15/08/2021 19:14

I also want to add that while I support freedom to practice religion, the US GOP uses evangelical beliefs as a way to harm women in many ways - from sending lesbians to conversion therapy and wishing to deny them parental rights to denying coverage of birth control and punishing women who want abortions. When the argument against boys in girls spaces is predicated on the argument for freedom of religion, it doesn't help women. It would be better if we argued that boys shouldn't be in girls' spaces because it harms women and girls' rights. Those who are religious will be automatically covered.

Delphinium20 · 15/08/2021 19:06

"I disputed the fact that TRA has anything to do with civil rights, and that invoking that noble political movement, which required enormous bravery and sacrifice from Black people (and some of their non-Black supporters too), is what I consider appropriation of an oppressed minority's suffering and struggle for rights that had been denied them. For this is not about infringing their rights. It is any possible infringement on other people's rights by them that worries us."

THIS is the crux of it. Racism in the US is and always has been a problem. TRAs stole civil rights talking points, so now everyone knows that if you don't defend boys in girls' spaces, you're no better than the KKK.

Then pedantics on the left and shrewd political strategists on the right knowingly set up a fight over Critical Race Theory, a mere theory that should only used as one of several tools to analyze history, and typically at a college or advanced high school level. During the pandemic I listened in on almost all my kids' online history classes because I'm an historian and just love the material. Both of them had veteran teachers who did an excellent job teaching to their grade levels (oldest DD had an advanced 11th grade course). There was no propaganda and no bastardized of any theory.

However, I have seen activists of CRT encroaching into other areas - at a youth meeting on anti-racism (which I support) one white volunteer lectured on slavery. It was complete idiocy based on made-up tales that included some so outlandish a few kids aged 12 questioned her facts. One included, "white Americans invented slavery because they believed in Manifest Destiny." I studied African American history in college, and I never encountered such blatant nonsense as I have from people who are not historians but think they have a right to control how it's taught.

There's only misguided activists in charge in some places and it's a mess.

I cantbelieve American parents are going to accept what is happening in their schools.

Oh that VA county school, it's so 1984. Those poor children. And parents.

Thread on Twitter about the same changes and how they were brought in in VA County.

twitter.com/kdansky/status/1426252951543336960?s=21

This feels thoroughly dystopian and I find myself wondering who it is who has so much influence. I know the Denton’s document set out the techniques, but the pervasiveness is alarming. Of course, there may be lots of places where it didn’t play out this way, but the only one I’ve seen comments about was Texas, and given that Texas has been ridiculed for teaching Creationism, that brings no comfort at all.

Thread about VA county school policies on GI.

I received an email from an anonymous woman in VA today. I am sharing it here, with permission, with minor clarity edits. (I cannot vouch for its veracity.)

By "piece on Loudoun County," she means a blog post from yesterday.

"I'm not on twitter (my account got locked in 2019 and I deleted it) so I can't contact you that way.

I read Ovarit and I saw your piece about Loudon County and the same thing is happening in Albemarle County VA where we had a school board meeting last night 8/12/21 to vote on the same transgender policy.

In the past parents would get an email with the zoom link to view the meetings but they sent out nothing in advance.

They are using some kind of loophole to keep school board meetings on zoom/Livestream only and NOT available for the public to attend in person. They opened up to public comments on 8/9 and nobody knew about it.

There's a group here called Citizen Care (link not copied) that has gotten some local press but nothing like Loudon County. Our county is 80% white, outside Charlottesville, suburban/rural, central Virginia.

For the record, I am a transplant, mixed-race, from the north. It is a one size fits all policy getting pushed through and we have no voice. The school board, superintendent (Matt Haas) and principals like Beth Costa are all-in for this, and parents have no say.

Everything is woven into the curriculum. Parents are now no longer sent home information about Family Life Education (sex ed) and the opt-out forms.

No opting out, FLE is now tied to SOLs (testing, so kids will have to absorb and parrot back gender stuff in order to pass their state-mandated tests).

Parents have to come into the school during school hours and request to look at them in person.

I am the breadwinner in my family of 4. Going public with my views will cost me because my industry is woke.

I had a slot to speak but chickened out so I tried to get my husband to use my link to comment during the Livestream but it had to be with my email. Anyway, he got kicked off. Most of the comments were critical of the policy which will probably pass anyway.

I am usually much more coherent but I can't contain this feeling of helplessness.

I have two kids in this school system and every day another mother tells me her girl is transing. My son is special needs. We moved to this area for the schools and now we are mired in this. This is all being done by stealth.

Homeschooling is a on the increase in the US, and this and other related issues is a big part of why.
