A pair of lawsuits that for years has plagued Virginia’s largest school system with allegations that it ignored students’ accusations of sex assaults are back in front of federal judges.
One of the lawsuits includes allegations of horrific abuse suffered by a student at a Fairfax County middle school and was the basis for a 2014 federal investigation.
...
The middle schooler filed an amended complaint earlier this month after the school board’s efforts to block her suit were rejected. Her ordeal began in October 2011, according to the lawsuit, when she was a seventh grader at Rachel Carson Middle School in Reston. A classmate started telling others that he’d engaged in sexual activity with the girl, identified only by her initials in the lawsuit....The girl was evaluated by a nurse who confirmed scarring consistent with anal rape, but a school resource officer dismissed the activity as consensual.
School officials continued to downplay and minimize the alleged assaults as consensual, even though the girl was 12 and was pleading with administrators and counselors for protection while the supposedly consensual relationship was ongoing.
...
The other lawsuit involves a girl at Oakton High School who said she was sexually assaulted by a boy on a bus during a school band trip... Judges who ruled in favor of the Oakton student said the school system should not be entitled to “one free rape” before it can be held liable for its policies and procedures.
...
Alexandra Brodsky, a lawyer with Public Justice, which is representing the Oakton student, said she’s especially concerned that a purportedly progressive school board in Fairfax County authorized pursuit of a legal strategy that, while it could help it win its case against the Oakton student, could set a dangerous precedent that weakens students’ protections from abuse.

Ping of interest.
Why are school districts allowed to make legal decisions for criminal activity? Time for states to pull back their power and bring these rogue administrators and school boards to heel.
Here is the genesis of the whole issue: Rachel Carson Middleschool. I guess George Washington or Thomas Jefferson was not available.
I was thinking on similar lines. You know there is a severe leftist problem when you have a name like that.
The Judge’s “not entitled to one free rape…..” sums it up perfectly!
Rachel flat-out ran a better campaign than George or Tom, I guess.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
“Judge: the school system should not be entitled to “one free rape” before it can be held liable for its policies and procedures”
Well as long as they apply this equally to school massacre’s too.
A felony is a felony, even when you are giving them away.
Is that the bulldozer chick in Israel?
Well, maybe it wasn’t, as woopsi goldsteen might say, “’rape’ rape.”.
Maybe the Silent Spring chick?…
Nope, that’s Rachel Pancake Corrie
Thanks. This is the Silent Spring chick.
She was against DDT?
Rachel Carson Middle School?
The name of the school should have been a hint.
Thanks...Rachel Louise Carson (May 27, 1907 – April 14, 1964) was an American marine biologist, writer, and conservationist whose influential book Silent Spring (1962) and other writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement.
It probably was named one of those but the changed the name because they were racists.
She was against DDT?
school officials are on top of the really bad crimes, like using “sir” when speaking to a tranny....or fighing tooth and nail to have drag queen hours..
So was I.. Unless it is a magnet school for environmental studies. Here there is a magnet school for agriculture named after a farmer...
