Amanda Chase: Parents First

I wholeheartedly applaud Governor Youngkin for pardoning Scott Smith, the Loudoun County father who was arrested at a school board meeting for expressing his outrage regarding a coverup by the Loudoun County public school system after his daughter was raped.


We remember the story well. RTD described it this way- "The assailant, a student at Stone Bridge High School, sexually assaulted Smith's daughter in a campus bathroom in May 2021. The assailant was then transferred to the county's Broad Run High School, where he abducted and sexually assaulted another girl at school just five months later."


Loudoun County eventually fired their school superintendent for his involvement in the coverup.


A huge thanks also to Senator Bill Stanley who served as legal counsel for the family.


Please continue to pray for healing for Smith's family as they deal with such incredible trauma.
