Loudoun County, who is at the fight for no trans and no CRT

[Lesh]

I don't see he said he was guilty of rape.

Irrelevant. He was convicted.

But as noted above...there's more to the story.

Angry parents battling over critical race theory at rallies, outside school buildings and in rival Facebook groups. A teacher suing the school system after he was suspended for refusing to use transgender students’ pronouns. A raucous school board meeting that began with dueling protests over transgender rights and culminated in an arrest.

Loudoun County, a wealthy and diversifying slice of purple-turning-blue suburban Northern Virginia, is fast becoming the face of the nation’s culture wars.

“It’s unsettling to say the least, especially because it seems everybody is armed to the teeth these days,” said longtime resident Tom Mulrine, 77, who is White. “This could spark something.”

“It’s shameful,” said Wendall T. Fisher, 67, who said he was the first Black elected member of the Loudoun County School Board — and the only to date. “It’s just shameful.”

Loudoun is not the only place where furor over critical race theory, or CRT, is taking off. Conservative activists and pundits across the United States have weaponized the theory — a decades-old academic framework that holds that racism is woven into the country’s past and institutions — to claim that equity-conscious school systems are teaching children to hate one another, and White children to hate themselves.

What is critical race theory, and why do Republicans want to ban it in schools?

Politicians throughout the nation are responding: Republican-led legislatures in Idaho, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma have passed bills banning the teaching of certain race-related issues in schools.

Loudoun school officials have defended the district’s equity work and say it is not teaching critical race theory to students.

At the same time, lawmakers are pushing a raft of bills meant to restrict the rights of transgender students — the focus of a second, ongoing national conflagration. Some proposed measures would keep transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams, while others would bar doctors from giving hormones or gender-affirming surgeries to teenagers.

Nowhere in the country have both cultural fights so crystallized as in Loudoun, a county of roughly 420,000 just outside the nation’s capital, where the median income was $142,299 in 2019 (more than twice the national average). The brouhaha, especially the recent arrest at the School Board meeting, has left residents of all races, political loyalties and religious beliefs lamenting the disruption and discourtesy.

But none say they are surprised.

Some say it’s obvious why the county is stuck in the spotlight: It’s a wealthy place, where parents have resources to spare for advocacy campaigns. It’s populated by government professionals with media savvy and political ambitions. And the county has a long history of racial hatred: It was a hotbed of Confederate resistance, and its schools and community sites were among the last in the nation to desegregate.

It is also a place in transition; the population increased about 150 percent over the past 20 years. A huge reason for the rise is an influx of families of color: Although Loudoun was about 85 percent White in 2000, it was barely 60 percent White in 2020. The politics are changing, too, in line with these demographic trends and with Virginia’s shifting landscape, switching from deep red to ever-deepening blue.

The pandemic — which forced parents inside and online, where they stewed in fear and frustration, then united in thousands-strong Facebook groups dedicated to advocacy regarding mask mandates and school reopenings — functioned like a lit match thrown on a rag soaked in gasoline, said Brenda Sheridan (Sterling), the Loudoun School Board chair.

“Loudoun was ripe for the picking,” said Sheridan, who is facing a recall campaign. “For somebody to just come and start a fire here.”

I copied it all as I know you need to get a subscription to read it. It's the white people, the parents are creating and continuing to making their kids racist. The white people want to go back to 1960, and it will never happen.

Good Lord. How many people actually believe this childish dribble?

Did you read THESE parts?

The juvenile court trial heard how the girl and boy were friends and had previously 'hooked up' with her consent, but that on May 28, he attacked her.

And​

The pair chatted daily on an app called Discord, according to the boy's attorney, and regularly discussed sex. They had met up in the girl's bathroom at Stone Bridge High School before, he said, to fool around.

Daddy found the texts and freaked out

The boy's attorney, William Mann, argued that because they'd had consensual sex before - in the bathrooms - he was reasonable in assuming consent on May 28.

I just got my dates screwed up, they had sex prior to the occasion.

He lost that argument


probably rightfully so but as noted this story is a bit murkier than presented

 

[Penelope]

I care. The parents created racist children.

 

[Hellokitty]

What you are talking about is FROM parents TO parents.

IT IS NOT taught in school.

Or from teachers to parents...remember the T stands for teachers.

Ya, since they had sex before and had been talking dirty, it is clear that it could not be rape. You cant rape someone that consented in a previous incident.

My fucking god you cant even hear how absolutely bat shit insane you open defense of a convicted rapist is.

He lost that argument

No, its not. Consent is not 'murky' in this case. He did not have it.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I like how the rapist is characterized as a "BOY IN A SKIRT".

Why are they denying this trandgender person their civil rights?

REFER TO HER AS A WOMAN, YOU TRANSPHOBIC PRESS!!!

HATE CRIME!!

Hey dipshit I specifically said the opposite

No, dipshit. You are here trying to defend a rapist because it does not comport with your political hackery.

It is fucking pathetic.

Reading isn’t your specialty is it.
“Probably rightfully so”

This kid is hyper sexual. We all knew jerk offs like that in school.

The girl however had consensual sex and sexual texts that daddy likely found and freaked out over.

At that point she had to claim rape.

 

[Nostra]

Then the parents can afford separate BR's, can't they??

I don't believe the girl or the father.

The court did. And which girl are you talking about? The freak raped 2 that we know of.

 

[Nostra]

You can't teach the history of our with out teaching about race and racism. It isn't about focusing on race. You want to pretend it doesn't exist and no longer plays a part in our country so what do you do? Make discussion of it illegal through overly broad and vaguely worded laws that have the intended effect of preventing teachers from any discussion of racism for fear of losing their jobs. And you pretend to be about free speech.

Link us up to these laws outlawing the discussion of racism.

What happened to "believe all women"?

 

[Nostra]

all i see he claimed he accounted someone in the school room.

"The juvenile court trial heard how the girl and boy were friends and had previously 'hooked up' with her consent, but that on May 28, he attacked her.

He also told detectives in some of his early statements that he 'stopped' because he knew he was 'hurting the girl', but also claimed the sexual assault only happened when his 'knee length skirt got caught on his watch'. "

Not that he raped anyone.

So men are allowed to rape a woman if they have ever had consensual sex in the past?

Is that the position you want to stand on?

Does that give the freak the right to rape her? You are one sick puppy.

If the rapist is one of the Dimtard protected weirdos they can't be a rapist. The girl has to be lying.
