The school board covered up the assault and transferred the boy to another school in order to avoid conflict with the transgender activists that have become so vocal in our education bureaucracy. Unfortunately the boy assaulted another young lady in his new school. Those incidents and the fact that the first incident was covered up are the reason Scott Smith (whose daughter was assaulted) was so upset during a school board meeting. Mr. Smith was forcibly removed from the meeting and arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media&#8217;s take on the events was inexcusable.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday <a href=\"https:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/kristine-marsh\/2021\/11\/01\/msnbc-mocks-loudoun-school-rape-case-manufactured-outrage-made?fbclid=IwAR2Bd5ZzVGoeQt58qrOPSebYgYUak2Sa75D32fjllaQG-Gub5h5zqjbYAdE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsbusters<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The media is desperately trying to salvage Democrat Terry McAuliffe\u2019s chances in Virginia\u2019s governor&#8217;s race, after his alarming comments about parents and education have cost him in the very tight election.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>This week, MSNBC went so far as to call Loudoun County Public Schools in VA covering up a sexual assault as a \u201cmanufactured\u201d and \u201cmade up\u201d controversy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wonder how many people who have children in the Loudoun County schools consider this a &#8216;made-up&#8217; controversy.<\/p>\n<p>The article also notes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Scarborough (MSNBC\u2019s <em>Morning Joe<\/em>, Joe Scarborough) complained that the first sexual assault by a boy wearing a skirt in the girls\u2019 room happened before the transgender policy was in place, so any anger over it was inconsequential:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cThis was a guy that went in and sexually assaulted a girl.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> There is no controversial bathroom policy regarding trans students.

Not true, as the policy approved in August by the school board <a href=\"https:\/\/loudounnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Draft-POLICY_-8040-Rights-of-Transgender-Students-5-6-21.pdf\">plainly states<\/a>: \u201cAll students are entitled to have access to restrooms and locker rooms that are sanitary, safe, and adequate, so that they can comfortably and fully engage in their school programs and activities. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Students should be allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their gender identity<\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article at Newsbusters includes a transcript of the comments made.
