When my kids went back to school last year (covid precautions), they had a monitor outside the bathrooms and only one kid could go in a time. No adult has to actually be inside the bathroom).

Who do you propose will do this when we aren’t enough fully staffed with licensed teachers or subs?

In regards to bathroom safety what if every bathroom had an emergency button. If pushed it would notify the main office and school resource officer. It could be used for any type of emergency including medical. Another idea is if bathrooms required students to swipe their student ID to get access. Students including transgender students would only be given access to their preferred bathroom. This way a boy couldn’t just walk into the girls bathroom.

Common denominator seems to be we need to work on how we are raising boys.

I’m just telling you what they DID. Apparently they figured it out.

Oh yeah “figure it out.” Perfect solution. Nobody wants to drive buses, sub, or teach, but sure we will just figure out how to find people to monitor bathrooms to supposedly prevent sexual assault. Even the SRO already in school can’t manage to do that but yeah, random monitor will. Y’all are all nuts.

Exactly! People are talking about bathroom monitors, emergency buttons, locks in doors, etc when the real problem is predatory men/boys who see girls as prey.

PS. If there’s the will and the opportunity, a sexual assault can happen almost anywhere on a school campus, not just in the bathrooms.

Well yeah - this kid also did it in a classroom. Stairwells are also spots with little visibility or traffic between classes. Parking lots, the list is endless. It isn’t the environment, it’s the predator.

Just want to make sure I have it clear.

How many school shootings happened in Loudoun County Public Schools this year? Last year? Zero.

You cannot compare. Fail.

And frankly, I'm disgusted you are trying to minimize a young girl's report of being forcibly sodomized by conflating it with gun control. STFU! Her story WILL be heard loud and clear until we protect our girls from sexual predators in schools.

And it’s hilariously naive to think parenting will solve this. I work in a mental hospital. Do you know how many of my patients have been accused of sexual assault? Hint: A LOT.

Try to parent your way out of that one.

I am glad to see so much concern for protecting girls from sexual assault in schools, though I wonder where that concern was when Secretary DeVos was rolling back these protections. Unless it only matters when you can raise it in the context of trans issues.

Knock it off. DeVos change was for due process, which even this rapist deserves. LCPS could have alerted parents, put this kid on forced virtual learning (it’s a thing now!!) while allowing the police to finish their investigation.
If you want to protect girls keep boys, even the fluid 🙄 ones, out of the bathroom.

"The suspect, juvenile court prosecutors assured Smith, was being held responsible: He was on house arrest, confined to his mother’s townhouse."https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/loudoun-county-schools-covered-up-bathroom-rape-and-sodomy-of-15-year-old-girl-by-skirt-wearing-bisexual-male/. However the reality is he was at Broad Run High School forcing a second girl into an empty classroom. Nobody is stepping up for accountability as to why he wasn't at the townhouse--a clear coverup.

Boys will have mental illness. How do we protect girls.

One would assume the court ordered that he be on house arrest other than to attend school, see his PO, and things like that. The court would not have precluded him from attending school while charged. LCPS should have put in better safeguards at Broad Run.
