In the wake of an alleged brutal rape at Rockville High School in Maryland by two illegal aliens last week, Montgomery County Superintendent Dr. Jack Smith is accusing parents of racism and xenophobia. He also claims threats are being made against students and schools.
"While I know this tragic incident has become part of a national political debate, I want to remind community members that the lives of real students have been forever affected," Smith sent in an email Thursday morning. "While many have chosen to engage civilly in the conversation, far too many have crossed the line with racist, xenophobic calls and emails. MCPS is working with law enforcement to identify those who are making threats toward our students and schools. This behavior will not be tolerated in our community."
Nowhere in the email was it mentioned the suspects are in the country illegally, with at least one facing deportation.
Parents have been protesting outside of Smith's office in recent days and did not mince words about the situation during a public meeting Tuesday night. One parent said he took his daughter out of school last year because of an unsafe environment.
Smith avoided questions about the alleged sexual assault for days and had to be confronted by a reporter in the parking lot outside of his office before finally answering questions. He is in charge of 204 schools in the district.
Meanwhile, Republican Governor Larry Hogan is demanding answers.
"Why is an 18-year-old man in a class with 13 or 14-year-old girls? Why was his status not known to those folks? Why was he allowed to enter the country after he was picked up for illegally crossing the border—both of them? So there are a lot of questions,” Hogan told Fox 5. "My biggest concern is the Montgomery County School System and their lack of cooperation and the lack of information they've been providing. Not only have they refused to provide any information to us, but they've refused to provide information to the state Board of Education, which specifically requested more information."
What was the one funny joke that Amy Schumer plagiarized? "I used to date Latinos but then I got into consensual sex"
Now why did you laugh at that? That's right. Because you are racist </sarcasm>
Yes, saw that too somewhere...
Good question.
It may well be that political correctness operates at no greater level than in the American education system.
Political Correctness: It kills...and now it rapes, too!
“Why is an 18-year-old man in a class with 13 or 14-year-old girls?”
Not as uncommon as you might think. Electives, lunch period, passing between classes...18 year olds are always coming into contact with 14 year olds in high school.
Seems to me that given the insane age of consent laws in some of our states, if an illegal sex predator wanted a target rich environment, our schools are the perfect place. You’ve got enablers running the schools, and perps wouldn’t have to claim to be young teens, just to be within the age of consent range, which might allow older predators to pass.
*****over the last fifteen years none of my three daughters have ever attended public school in this county, and most certainly they never will****.
You are clearly an informed parent. I just researched private vs. public school data on grades etc., and the comparison is astounding. I also believe that the return to school uniforms would tone down some of the distraction caused by inappropriate dress.
There was a recent article on 62 female teachers who have been found guilty of sexual contact with underage students it is shocking. many of them married with children of their own.
The case of teacher Tad Cummins and student Elizabeth Thomas seems to have faded from the news cycle. I believe he is probably in Utah where the age of consent is 15 and polygamy is OK.
That assumes the perp is actually 18. I wouldn’t, not without verification. And by that I mean some actual investigation by the DA.
In the meantime, MD bloody well needs to change its age of consent laws.
When are we going to discuss castrating rapists and their enablers?
The man is ideological blandness. He is the archetype of the genera having the ideology so ingrained he can’t comprehend what has happened right in the school he superintends.
The only concept that matters is diversity. They consider diversity above all
Diversity is actually bad and a primary reason for America’s decay
If we dont fight back now a sit back we will lose, they need to be pummeled both alien principle scool administration and politician
Was he really 18? perhaps older?
Sue the school system, I completely agree and I live here. These principals aren’t reporting or punishing serious crimes in these schools to save their own and the schools reputations. No one is safe in these schools anymore and the parents and students know it.
...pronounced MOUSE, I presume
He has to be 18 in order to escape justice. Like most states, there are some situations in Maryland where people under the age of consent may legally have sex, as long as there is only a small age difference between them. In Maryland, persons aged between 14 and 16 may consent to sex as long as the other partner is not more than 4 years older.
Ergo, as long as he's 18 (14 + 4), his lawyer can claim the sex was consensual. If it can be proven that he's older than 18, he's in trouble.
DemocRATs and libs love attacking the victims . They are much like the radical muzzies in as much as they will do anything regardless of the facts to advance their cause . We see it all the time . They have no moral conscience .
This county needs to call a special whatever to immediately remove this guy from his position
Idiot needs to be dancing at the end of a rope.
Anyone remember the rapes in Twin Falls by the refugees?
The city council had the exact same attitude.
Why aren’t the parents not stringing this bastard up?!!!
