Youngkin Calls for Loudoun County School Board to Resign After Email Revealed a Sexual Assault Cover Up. ( Virginia )
Townhall ^ | Oct 24, 2021 | Landon Mion

Posted on 10/24/2021 10:01:02 AM PDT by george76

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin demanded that Loudoun County Superintendent Scott Ziegler and the school board resign following a bombshell email this week that showed the board was made aware on May 28 that a female student reported she had been sexually assaulted by a male student in a girl's bathroom.

The email was sent to school board members about a month before Ziegler said at a board meeting that he had no record of assaults in the school district's bathrooms.

Youngkin told Fox News on Saturday that the email, which was first reported by WTOP, "simply confirms what we know, which is we had administrators at a school board who have been covering this up. I mean, they tried to hide it from parents, they've hidden it from the public, and they actually endangered students by moving this young man – who in fact was being prosecuted for a sexual assault in another school – and enabled it to happen again."

The same individual accused of the May 28 assault was also accused of sexual assault at a different school earlier this month, according to prosecutors.

The father of the girl allegedly assaulted in May described the accused as a biological male in a skirt, according to The Daily Wire, which first reported the assault.

Ziegler sent an email to "School Board Confidential" following the alleged May 28 assault.

"The purpose of this email is to provide you with information regarding an incident that occurred at Stone Bridge HS," Ziegler said in the email. "This afternoon a female student alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her in the restroom."

The email was sent to the school board prior to Ziegler saying at a June 22 board meeting that "the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist," and, to his knowledge, "we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms."

Youngkin told Fox News that "This is gross negligence in its most extreme form."

"There must be resignations," he said. "In fact, people who have not resigned, I don't understand how they can possibly go into their next school board meeting. How can they go into their next school board meeting and be expected to sit there and represent our kids' future when they covered this up?"

Youngkin also said the investigation into the cover-up must include the county prosecutor, Buta Biberaj, "who clearly knew what was going on, as well." Biberaj looked to charge the father of the alleged sexual assault victim in the May 28 incident after he voiced his frustration at the June 22 school board meeting, became enraged, and was later convicted on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

After slamming Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring for failing to launch an investigation into the assault, the Republican assured that, if he wins the gubernatorial election, "We are going to pick this up and make sure that those people who are responsible for covering this up will be held accountable."

Additionally, Youngkin called out the Department of Justice, which directed the Federal Bureau of Investigations and other law enforcement agencies to "address threats against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff" at school board meetings after a letter from the National School Boards Association requested federal assistance to combat threats they deemed to be "the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes." The NSBA has since apologized for the language used in the letter.

"The FBI needs to stop trying to silence parents in Virginia… and investigate this entire circumstance," Youngkin said.

"We need a governor who's going to go to work for parents," he continued. "We must stand up against accusations like the teachers' associations have been making. We have to stand up against really reckless, reckless accusations from an attorney general and the Department of Justice."

Youngkin should have a Trump Rally just South of Loudoun County on October 31 and blow Terry away.

Resign? There must be criminal charges! Instead, the totally corrupt federal police, the fbi, has investigated parents who speak out! The father has been arrested!

It’s obvious that the trans bunch has been given the right to do anything it wants to anybody it wants and no one else has any rights.

PS. A man who claims to be a trans and who rapes someone is not trans. He is a male rapist. He deserves to have the offending member chopped off for the rape. Then, in that way, he will resemble the trans he claims to be.

Do you work for McAuliffe because they're practically begging him to do this? The Democrats are doing everything they can to tie Youngkin to Trump, who is positively toxic in the Virginia suburbs outside of DC that Youngkin needs to make gains in if he wants to win the election.

Trump needs to stay away from this election which, so far, he seems to be doing.

Absolutely! Charges should have already been filed against the school. What they did was a serious endangerment to other students, not to mention a criminal act for protecting a criminal act by covering it up.

This is what the left does, push deviance as normal, then ridicule you for not accepting it. Birds of a communist feather flock together.I read an article showing so, “Biden Gang Supports Reelection of WHO Director General Tedros Despite His Connections to Terrorists and China and Terrible COVID Performance”, and you can give that a look at GatewayPundit. And Biden is just as Xi owned as Tedros is. We have to take Maxine Water’s advice and turn it back on the left. Confront that snake wherever it raises its head.

It’s not negligence. It’s malfeasance.

Criminals and perverts (both groups democrats) roam free while ‘law enforcement’ attacks parents for not wanting their kids corrupted. Reads like any chapter of a dystopian novel. Welcome to Xoe Xiden’s 2021 Amerika!

Maybe a Trump style rally...but no Trump at this point. This however, should be the defining moment in the campaign.

Who do you want to control the lives of your kids?

gubmint?

or you?

I don’t think you know how this works. McAuliffe isn’t going to win because more people vote for him. He will win because the precinct captains vote for him.

Dems steal votes.

Every fake vote steals a vote from an honest Republican.

Arrest them, drag them out in handcuffs in front of the news cameras, and charge them with accessories after the fact.

They were, in a very real sense, the “getaway drivers” for that rapist.

Agree. Resign…and get prosecuted for covering up a sexual assault.

No, northern Virginia is rabidly anti Trump. Northern Virginia supplied 31% of the state’s vote in 2020. Trump received only 28% of Fairfax County’s vote and even less in Arlington and Alexandria. It would only energize the democrats. This is why Trump has not gone near Virginia.
