Conservative parents said they’re looking to exit public schools after an anemic performance by right-leaning candidates in school board elections this week.
FTA:
"The father was placed in handcuffs after recounting the sexual assault of his daughter by a transgender student in a school bathroom and demanding answers.
Smith was later pardoned by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
Loudoun County parent Scott Smith was arrested in 2021 at a school board meeting after his daughter’s sexual assault.
“A lot of us thought that that was a turning point,” said another local dad whose child will graduate out of the district this year."
So you know that demands a fact check:
“In May 2021, a male student sexually assaulted a girl classmate inside a restroom at Stone Bridge High School. He was transferred to Broad Run High School for the next school year, where he assaulted another girl.”
Clearly a failure on the part of the school system… But then we get to the right wing talking points:
“After much discussion over whether the perpetrator was transgender or wore a skirt to get into the restroom where the first teen was attacked, the report found no evidence that the attacker identified as female or gender fluid. It found no evidence that he wore a skirt or kilt that day, and no witnesses reported seeing him in a girl’s bathroom or trying to get into one.”
The assaults definitely happened, but not in the way dad describes them as happening.
I mean why not twist your daughter’s assault to support your bigoted narrative? I’m sure she’ll never resent lying about the circumstances of her assault to serve her father. Being used by men, after all, is the highest calling of a woman.
I wish I was surprised, but all I feel is disgust and an abundance of not surprise.
We REALLY need a word for being shocked and appalled without being the least bit surprised. Happens to reasonable people all the time nowadays…
Distraught?
Nah, less sad, more angry
Of course the NYPost fails to include such a useful and relevant bit of information.
Is it possible to blacklist sources?
You mean on the community level or the user level?
If the former: yes, but it might be difficult to do without a lot of people wrongly calling it censorship of legitimate journalism and starting a whole thing…
If the latter, I don’t know but now that you’ve put the idea in my head I’m gonna try and find out…
I’d take either but I’d think blocking on a user level would be possible.
Not being able to force EVERYONE’S children to learn the same thing as your kids is SOCIALISM! TRUE Freedom is when I get to force YOUR kids to learn what I WANT THEM TO LEARN!
I’m totally down with conservatives educating their kids poorly so they can’t get into college and are forced to take jobs cleaning my left wing toilet. It’s for the children, remember?
Very dangerous line of thought there…
I would say, “Good, go,” except this leads to children being taught bullshit and radicalization. And there’s no real education to go with it.
Taking your ball and going home, Christofascist edition.
Please find a better source than the NY Compost.
