The fact that the father was called racist, transphobic, homophobic, vax denier and had our government want him prosecuted for being livid that they covered up his daughters sexual assault is beyond discussing. Moreover, the self righteous indignation at parents who distrust these folks is too much.

[@triamaria]

Drag them though the mud!!!

[@hassan_codes]

I feel so bad for him

[@nicholasmarchant9508]

That’s the democrats for u🤬🤬

[@gochuckyourself-yf2rz]

Yeah the school board was well aware of what had happened. They didn't just need to fire the school superintendent they needed to fire all of the administration that was involved in trying to cover up this issue and the school board was complacent in their jobs and also needed to go !

[@TheStcyril]

They fired him without cause, allowing him to keep his pay and pension. Yeah, no corruption there. I'd extend my sympathies to the parents, but let's be honest, they voted for these jokers, never made any effort at a recall, and I guarantee you that most of them will still have their jobs come next election.

[@traceycurtis1005]

The safety of children comes before everything else. The superintendent being paid after covering up such a crime makes this whole county look like trash.

[@constitutionprotector3130]

When you elect corrupt Socialists, you get corrupt Socialism.

[@RescueBabies]

Yet the parents are up in arms about CRT. GO figure

[@anthonymiley188]

If he gets the payoff the whole board should stand down and pay him out of their own pockets.

[@wadefite]

A year's pay and compensation. What a joke! Nice wee reward for the superintendent.

[@TBlanktim]

It isn't a question of the SECOND ASSAULT(!?!?!?) "Could" have been prevented. It's that it SHOULD have been prevented.

[@alrepasotutoring]

They should have fired every single one of the School Board members.All of them knew and did nothing

[@robertconville6269]

Ridiculous he was still to be paid! I think school boards are out of control! School boards should be made up of parents not bureaucrats!

[@rhanc2757]

Why only fire Superintendent? All the board members should be fired.

[@realunitedstatesrepublic3005]

Loudoun county as huge problems.

When it comes to the education of the kids, closed doors are begging for the public to wonder what they are hiding.

This is just disgusting

[@samtr4439]

What a joke.

[@RoseNZieg]

why without cause? well at least the victims and their families could go after him for damages.

[@fritzvanlonden1388]

I watched this whole thing unfold... my attention had been pulled to Virginia shortly before this with the former governors radio interview about post-birth abortions. These last couple years must have been unbelievably terrifying for the citizens Loudoun County.

[@triamaria]

Me also!!!! I'll never forget Northam!! The great part is because of what was going on with the school board it helped flip the state. These radicalized leftist are going to keep it up until their own party gets fed up!!

[@RescueBabies]

Yet Loundon County parents only care about the curriculum and the teaching of CRT. YEAH, I can see how they missed this coverup.

[@princedarrylecali2592]

The society needs a permanent solution for these rapist.

[@MrHotdog244]

Jail the kid

[@bostoncharm1]

My autistic NON VERBAL granddaughter was sexually assaulted on a bus and they covered up the WHOLE truth of what happend and why it happened. There were older Autistic males (older than 20) riding the SAME bus as middle school and highschool disabled children!!!! They reported an incident.. but I had to find out from someone else what really happened on that bus

[@kevenclinton4970]

Fire the whole board they were all complicit .

[@dwightcurrie8316]

"Better Communication"? Wouldn't that just be a polite way of saying, "Stop Lying to the Parents of school children and their parents, regarding happenings that should Never Have Happened, but if found out, would be at the very least, Embarrassing to the school Superintendent And Or The School Board in its entirety, further endangering the Children these Numb Skulls are supposed to focused upon Protecting".....(Protecting, being the Operative Word In This Particular Case). It seems that these days, including the last Decade or so, Parents, Their Children and Most Teachers have to be More Concerned with their SAFETY, rather than "Educating" Students. Today's "Rebels Without A Cause" have become Literally "Rebels Without A Clue" If you include the aforementioned Rebels(Read; Violent Asshole Students) with Some, Most, Or All School Administrators demanding So Much "Woke" Nonsense and Repeatedly Kowtowing to every Loony Leftist and their Fever Dream Fantasy of how "They" must Change The World N Stuff, That Actually Educating Students goes out the window, meaning that the Students who actually want a good, or at least a decent education must do the Majority of it On Their Own Hook and On Their Own Time, Away From The Madness that is Today's Public School Experience. Hell, they're not worrying about Learning. They're worrying about Making It Home Alive And Uninjured Every Day. High School was a Blast for me, most of the time, and it's a Damned Shame And Disgrace that the Majority of Students today won't be able to have anywhere near the Enjoyment I had as a kid, back in the Dark Ages that was 1968 America. My Grand Children, being in the same Rural Area that I grew up in, don't have to face All the Crap that Urban kids do, but It's enough that their Parents plus Granny & Papa have to pay close attention, lest that Woke Crap will Multiply Exponentially, bearing the same Sad Results that are found in most City Schools

At last. First of many?

[@terickastidbits2342]

They were right to fire him without cause because this failing is on multiple people. The principals, vice principals, school board etc. ALL of these people made the decision about the abusive trans kid BEFORE the issue got to the superintendent. They are ALL at fault not just him.

[@koba_bizzy7004]

What about the sheriff in charge of the case?
