Youngkin vows to hold Loudoun County officials responsible after alleged sexual assaults
Fox News
Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin promised to bring transparency, accountability, choice, and higher standards to the state's schools, specifically condemning the Loudoun County School Board for allegedly covering up a male student's alleged sexual assault against a female student in a girls' restroom before that male student allegedly assaulted another girl at another school months later.
"As a Virginian, I'm heartbroken for these girls and their families," Youngkin said. "I'm heartbroken at how their government leaders failed them. As a father, I am ignited with an unwavering resolve to not just fix this but to hold those who have failed our children accountable."
After Loudoun County parents called for the resignation of the superintendent and members of the school board, the superintendent apologized and a board member resigned. Many parents remain unsatisfied.
