Mirroring similar experiences across the nation, parents in the Loudoun County School System in Northern Virginia are sounding off about Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught in their schools. Ian Prior, of the parent group Fight for Schools, stated in a podcast interview that “Some of the companies out there that are pushing this [Critical Race Theory] stuff in schools are making a ton of money,” Prior stated. The comments came on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News’ News Daily with Alex Marlow.
Prior stated that the Loudoun County School Board (LCSB), spent at least $500,000 for a report on “systemic racism”. Prior made sure to underline his point by stressing that the LCSB seemed more interested in the politically fashionable CRT rather than actually protecting vulnerable students from “trans” predators.
The Loudoun County Schools have recently been under increased scrutiny after a ninth grader girl was allegedly sexually assaulted in the girl’s bathroom by an older student wearing a “skirt”. The sexual assault incident has garnered national attention and has even become an issue in the widely watched Virginia Governor’s race, a carefully studied prognosticator of national sentiment. Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin on Tuesday called for an “immediate” investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) for their handling of the sexual assault, saying “A young girl was sexually assaulted in her school, and the administrators, those who were entrusted with not only her education but her safety, tried to cover it up.”
Prior continued:
“On the sexual abuse stuff, if we want to get to the bottom of it, we need to have an independent firm do an independent investigation into what broke down and how to fix it, and then put out a public report compare it to the fact that, hey, you guys at Loudoun County public schools paid the Equity Collective at least $500,000 in one year to do a report on systemic racism in Loudoun County public schools from a firm that is fully based in Critical Race Theory — $500,000 for this report — so the least they can do is do one to actually help guarantee student safety.”
