Last Friday, Commonwealth Attorney Jim Hingeley voluntarily dismissed the removal case brought by Fairfax parents against Fairfax County School Board Member Elaine Tholen. Hingeley, one of five Soros-backed Commonwealth Attorney’s in Virginia was hand-selected to “represent” these parents by Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney Steven Descano, who is also a member of the Soros-backed prosecutor club and recused from the case before selecting Hingeley to parachute in from neighboring Albemarle County.
Make no mistake, this is a travesty of justice. In Virginia, when removal cases are filed against abusive public officials, the case is litigated not by the petitioners’ attorney, but by the Commonwealth Attorney. In this case, Fairfax parents spent over ten months collecting 5,000 signatures to remove one of their school board members for her failure to open schools last year. The Court ruled that the case could proceed, but the Commonwealth Attorney chose to voluntarily dismiss the case. His message was clear – he had no interest in holding public officials accountable on behalf of their constituents.
We may soon see similar backroom deals and hijinks in Loudoun County, where the national spotlight has been burning bright on the school board for months. In April, Republican, Democrat, and independent parents launched a non-partisan organization called Fight for Schools, which has been collecting signatures for over three months to remove six school board members for their role in a private Facebook group - the “Anti-Racists of Loudoun County - that plotted against parents for speaking up at school board meetings against school closures and the use of critical race theory in schools.
Dozens of parents have collected nearly 17,000 signatures and are closing in on being able to file removal actions in the coming weeks. And based on the presence of international media at the last Loudoun County School Board meetings, the coverage will go beyond Loudoun, beyond Virginia, and even beyond the United States. It is not an understatement to say the whole world will be watching to see if our government institutions will give voice to Loudoun parents, grandparents and taxpayers. To observe an experiment in Democracy where those institutions can diligently adhere to the rule of law and hold elected officials accountable, regardless of party politics.
But as was the case in Fairfax, a Soros-backed prosecutor will be involved. Loudoun County’s Commonwealth Attorney, Buta Biberaj, received $700K from a Soros Super PAC. Biberaj herself is subject to a separate removal effort for her membership and activities in the Anti-Racists of Loudoun County Facebook group. Biberaj also recently shared an opinion piece on her social media that falsely claimed that Fight for Schools has fabricated charges against members of the School Board. It is safe to say that Biberaj does not want the removal efforts to succeed and, even if she recuses, will first try and steer the case to an activist prosecutor in Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William, or Albemarle County.
The question that ruling class in Loudoun County should ask themselves is whether they want their county to continue to be highlighted in the press by rigging the system to protect one of their own from the consequences of her reprehensible behavior.
Take the case of school board member Beth Barts. Prior to her actions in the Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County, was had already been publicly reprimanded, then censured, then stripped of her committees – by her own colleagues. She routinely violates the Open Meetings Act, the Freedom of Information Act, and her own Code of Conduct. She helped gin up a mob of activists to plot and scheme against parents to try and silence those that were opposed to her policies.
When she was interviewed by the police, she made false statements about her role and deleted key evidence that showed her motive to silence her opposition. She was the key player in the effort to not only suspend a teacher for exercising his First Amendment rights, but also to encourage her followers to create further disruptions to keep him suspended.
Make no mistake, the removal case against Beth Barts will test those in positions of power in Loudoun County. Will winks and nods from activist prosecutors result in her being able to escape accountability and continue to destroy the community’s trust in their schools and their school board? Or are their enough adults in Loudoun County’s governing institutions to recognize the nightmare that would result in fixing the process to save someone like Barts from having to explain to her constituents in Court why she should not be removed?
The world will soon have its answer as to whether this experiment in Democracy and the voice of the parents, grandparents, and taxpayers can prevail over political alliances, backroom deals, and cronyism in government.
It’s not “backed.” soros gave money to get them elected, and they owe him big time. He OWNS them! We do not have democracy in this country! He controls the elections and the elected officials!
If these parents do take matters into their own hands and push the envelope, then they are to blame.
They deserve credit for going about it the proper way but they are now getting screwed. Its time the 5000+ fight back by all means necessary.
Our small, Wisconsin school district turned in more than 4000 signatures yesterday to recall 4 board members over declining scores, closed schools, mask mandates and CRT. They have 30 days to certify them and schedule an election. We’ll see if the clerk plays any shenanigans with the signatures. This parents group would be recalling 7 members of the board except 3 were newly elected and not eligible for recall yet.
Nothing CRACKS ME UP more than parents who think they have any control over public schools!!!
How long have these people been on the board? You would think that a recall or something could be done. My sister teaches in Fredericksburg, she said it is an absolute disaster in VA. Retirement here she comes. Poor kids, but then she said she has A LOT OF IDIOT DEMOCRAT PARENTS to contend with.
The Loudoun SB removal effort will be heard in
Faiquier County
It is not the same judge.
We’ll see.
What can you say to someone who holds up weakness and capitulation as a virtue? Sad
Another is the secretary of state thing.
This is the perfect time and opportunity for parents and tax payers to begin investing in tar and feathers.
Those Soros-owned PERSECUTERS will keep violent criminals out of jail and on the streets, while going after civilians who try to protect themselves from the violent criminals. A perfect example of that is what happened with the evil Kim Gardener, who is owned by Soros, in St Louis with the McCloskeys.

To quote Neil Boortz, with something that is far more true now than ever before, is:
“Parents who send their children to GOVERNMENT schools are practicing child abuse.”

Chill. The folks in VA and Laundoun county voting for all these guys. Let them enjoy what they voted for.
I wish I cared, but these school boards are elected. They get what they deserve. Voters are dumb and stupid, so let them live with their own choices. Perhaps they will learn something, but I seriously doubt it. Many will win re-election - I’ll bet on it.
Loudoun County Schools Tried To Conceal Sexual Assault Against Daughter In Bathroom, Father Says

(PARDON THE TERRIBLE DETAILS I’M ABOUT TO EXPOSE)
Now, Smith says there’s much more to his story, telling The Daily Wire that his behavior at the June 22 meeting stemmed from an incident weeks earlier at his ninth-grade daughter’s school, Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, in which he said a boy wearing a skirt entered the girls’ bathroom and assaulted his daughter on May 28.
“We can confirm a May 28, 2021 case that involved a thorough 2-month-long investigation that was conducted to determine the facts of the case prior to arrest,” the sheriff’s office told Fox News. “This case is still pending court proceedings. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is not able to provide any documents that pertain to a pending case.” The sheriff’s office confirmed that the case involved sexual assault.
All juvenile records are sealed, but Smith’s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that the boy was subsequently charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio.
In response to a public records request by The Daily Wire, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a May 28 report with “Offense: Forcible Sodomy [and] Sexual Battery” at Stone Bridge High School does exist.
The suspect was arrested two months later following an investigation by the sheriff’s office.
TONIGHT, ON FOX, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SUPT. TRANSFERRED THE PREDATOR WHERE IT IS SUSPECTED THAT HE MOLESTED ANOTHER STUDENT THERE.
