"We had specifically moved them out of LCPS due to the swift and uncompromising political agenda of Superintendents Williams, Ziegler, and the school board had forced upon us. First, it was in the early spring of 2020 when my six-year-old somberly came to me and asked me if she was born evil because she was a white person. Something she learned in a history lesson at school," the mother said at a school board meeting on Oct. 26. Video of her testimony has spread on social media.
"Then, you kept the schools closed for a year-and-a-half, despite the science indicating it was safe for kids to return," the mother added. "Now, you’ve covered up a rape, and arrested, humiliated, and falsely accused parents of being domestic terrorists."
FROM CONTROVERSY TO COMPASSION: DANIEL SNYDER'S JAW-DROPPING GIFT LEAVES NATION IN AWE
Loudoun County has suffered national criticism in recent weeks over accusations it covered up a sexual assault report, as well as continuous battles over critical race theory curriculum in classes. Parents are calling for Superintendent, Scott Ziegler, and the entire school board resign over the claimed cover-up.

An email from May 28 revealed Ziegler telling the school board about the sexual assault allegation that took place in a girls' bathroom at Stone Bridge High School. At a June school board meeting, Ziegler declared that "the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist," and that to his knowledge, "we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms."

The email’s discovery sparked public accusations that the school board covered up the assault, which the district has denied.
A spokesman for Loudoun County Public Schools, Wayne Byard, told Fox News last week that the school district reported the claimed offense on May 28 to the Sheriff's office immediately. He said the report "could not be released to the general public" at the time because "the nature of the incident was still under investigation."

The discovery was made just days before the Nov. 2 Virginia Gubernatorial election, centered on education. Republican candidate, Glenn Youngkin, pulled ahead of Democrat Terry McAuliffe, according to a Fox News poll last week, with Youngkin garnering 53% support to McAuliffe's 45%.
Four weeks earlier, Scott Smith's 15-year-old daughter told teachers she was raped in the girls' bathrooms at Stone Bridge High School in Leesburg, Virginia, by a male student who had been allowed into the bathroom because he told staff he identified as female.
The boy was arrested in July - a month after the meeting - but he went on to sexually assault another girl, at a different school in the same district, in October.
