Thursday was a rough one of the liberal media’s blackout of the heinous and criminal behavior allowed to happen in schools by the liberal Loudoun County School Board. There were more alleged sexual assaults at a middle school involving groping and there was new evidence that Critical Race Theory was being peddled in by the Virginia Department of Education, plus reports of the law enforcement assets the school board wanted to bear against parents. All of it went ignored by the broadcast networks.
Instead of reporting on crimes in Loudoun, which were indeed a national story, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News spent nearly a combined 10 minutes (9:38) holding out hope that Congressional Democrats could come together and pass President Biden’s inflation juicing agenda.
This also came after NBC suggested the parental outrage at the school board for trying to cover up a rape (and allowing another to occur because of it) was staged as a way for Republicans to get ahead in the gubernatorial race on November 2.
Now, according to reporting from the Washington Examiner's Elizabeth Faddis, “Law enforcement officials in Loudoun County, Virginia, are investigating reports of sexual assault at a local middle school.”
"The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating multiple incidents that occurred at Harmony Middle School this week involving a male student touching other students inappropriately over their clothing," read a statement from the office issued Thursday afternoon.

"The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating multiple incidents that occurred at Harmony Middle School this week involving a male student touching other students inappropriately over their clothing," read a statement from the office issued Thursday afternoon.
"At the end of the school day on October 27, the LCSO School Resource Office learned from school added that earlier in the day a male student was inappropriately touched over his clothing by another male student in a hallway," the statement continued.
Additional male students were inappropriately touched by the same juvenile but did not previously report the incidents to school officials or law enforcement, the sheriff's office added.
“LCSO is investigating multiple incidents that occurred at Harmony Middle School this week involving a male student touching other students inappropriately over their clothing,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a Tweet (also above).
Further, the networks took the claims of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe and leftist activists at their word that Critical Race Theory wasn’t being taught in Virginia schools. But that wasn’t the truth as discovered by Fox News Channel.
“Fox News has learned the Virginia Department of Education is recommending a book saying teachers must embrace Critical Race Theory which links racial discrimination to America's foundations and legal system,” announced Special Report anchor Bret Baier. “That appears to contradict the statement by Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe that the theory is not being taught in the Commonwealth of Virginia.”
Chief correspondent Mike Emanuel reported that the Virginia DoE had recommended officials and teachers read a book titled: We Want to Do More than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom. And according to the passages shared by Emanuel, it called for CRT to be part of the indoctrination of children and claimed white teachers committed a type of “murder” against minority children (Click “expand”):
On page 11, Love writes: “While we did not forget injustice, we are focused instead on love and well-being, and refuse to be oppressed any longer. Lastly, teachers must embrace theories such as Critical Race Theory.”
On page 147, Love claims disciplinary actions in school harm black and brown children. “Teachers spirit-murder children every day through these glasses because their vision is impaired by hate, racism, and white supremacy. They cannot see black joy or black humanity.”
In addition, Emanuel had information on the pushback the radical school board received from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office when they were requested to crackdown on protesting parents.
“[S]uperintendent Scott Ziegler requesting an explosive sweep and undercover presence for future school board meetings. Ziegler requested multiple sheriff's department deputies, a five-person quick reaction force, and undercover deputies at the school board building,” he recounted. Sheriff Mike Chapman told Zeigler his deputies weren’t going to bail him out of his mess.
The blackout of yet more sexual assaults at schools in Loudoun County was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Ancestry on ABC, CarFax on CBS, and Liberty Mutual on NBC. Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the biased news they fund.

Fox News Channel’s Special Report
October 28, 2021
6:31:43 p.m. EasternBRET BAIER: Fox News has learned the Virginia Department of Education is recommending a book saying teachers must embrace Critical Race Theory which links racial discrimination to America's foundations and legal system. That appears to contradict the statement by Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe that the theory is not being taught in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel has the story.
[Cuts to video]
GLENN YOUNGKIN: On day one I will ban Critical Race Theory from being in our schools.
MIKE EMANUEL: On the campaign trail in Virginia Critical Race Theory and broader education issues are red hot topics.
YOUNGKIN: We will teach all history good and the bad, all of it. All of it. [Transition] But what we won’t do, is teach our children to view everything through a lens of race.
EMANUEL: Democrat Terry McAuliffe tell supporters it is not happening in Virginia schools.
TERRY MCAULIFFE: We could not teach Critical Race Theory here in Virginia. It has never been taught. It is a racist dog whistle.
EMANUEL: A Fox News investigation has found the Virginia Department of Education recommended a controversial book in March 2020 to all stakeholders as part of its Ed-Equity VA, by Abolitionist Teaching co-founder Bettina Love: We Want to Do More than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom.
On page 11, Love writes: “While we did not forget injustice, we are focused instead on love and well-being, and refuse to be oppressed any longer. Lastly, teachers must embrace theories such as Critical Race Theory.”
On page 147, Love claims disciplinary actions in school harm black and brown children. “Teachers spirit-murder children every day through these glasses because their vision is impaired by hate, racism, and white supremacy. They cannot see black joy or black humanity.”
Today, a Loudoun County high school history teacher who is suing the school district said she’s seen damage done by Critical Race Theory.
MONICA GILL (Loudoun County, VA Teacher): It is encouraging students to discriminate against each other. I have witnessed it firsthand. I have seen students exclude one another.
[Cuts back to live]
EMANUEL: What this amounts to is the state bureaucracy recommending these controversial teaching tools to all education stakeholders so school administrators, principals, or teachers could see the suggestion, read the book by Love and implement any element of it in their teaching. Bret?
BAIER: You know, Mike, what has Fox News uncovered revealing friction between Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and the school board there?
EMANUEL: Well, Bret, new documents obtained by Fox News reveal significant conflict between a local sheriff's office and the school board. August emails show the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office rejecting what it said were “extraordinary security requests.”
Including superintendent Scott Ziegler requesting an explosive sweep and undercover presence for future school board meetings. Ziegler requested multiple sheriff's department deputies, a five-person quick reaction force and undercover deputies at the school board building. Sheriff Mike Chapman complained the school board was asking law enforcement clean up its mess. Bret?
BAIER: All right. Great reporting, Mike. Thank you.
