You are correct. It is the Republicans who actually care about women being raped and killed. Democrats care more about male illegal aliens. |
Republican suppression of the information in the Epstein files points in the other direction. You don’t care about a convicted sexual predator in the White House so it’s hard to see how you view these assaults at Fairfax HS as anything other than an opportunity to divert attention away from ongoing crimes by MAGA. |
Yes, crimes in Fairfax County are a diversion from the White House. That’s galaxy brain thinking |
Agreed. It is nauseating that anyone who voted for Trump can claim they have principles that drive their political decision making. You voted for a sexual predator. You absolutely don’t care about women. |
Not sure how Trump is possibly relevant to this topic. But when his second term ends will you guys still be protecting illegal aliens committing sexual assault in our schools? |
No, but we aren’t protecting them now. The principle is: sexual assault is bad and should be prosecuted by the local government. Your arguments are as follows: FCPS didn’t prosecuted (no kidding, they can’t they are a school system) so the feds have to do it. Also: If you are okay will immigrants in our schools, you are okay with crime. These aren’t the same thing. Of note: you voted for a man for President who admitted on tape BEFORE you voted for him that he sexually assaults women. And are now claiming your are pro women and anti sexual assault, but only when immigrants do it??? That isn’t right principles cross all racial and ethnic lines or they aren’t principles. Have principles protecting women against ANYONE who sexually assaults women. Also, have principles that protect localities and local government from being taken over by the federal government. Again, principles are: “A fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.” Real principles don’t change because of the person involved. |
Yes, they will. And how do we know? We have the previous 4 years before Trump’s term to demonstrate how they deal with illegal criminal aliens. Let them in and then let the chips fall where they may. |
Dp. I don’t get your point. You can hate Trump and still expect our local government to prosecute sexual assaults and cooperate with the federal government to deport illegal immigrants. |
| I am confused about why Fairfax county and FCPS are all that are being discussed here. School operations for Fairfax High school are turned over to FCPS, but City of Fairfax has a separate school board, superintendent and owns the city schools. City of Fairfax can't point all the fingers at FCPS or stay out of the discussion. There was a thread on a City of Fairfax schools social media page with the City school board statement, but it seems City of Fairfax Schools page took it down because they didn't like the comments on the post. Did anyone see it or capture those comments? |
| I was at Fairfax when the incident happened between students involving a hijab. The city superintendent, Dr. Pajardo, was heavily involved in helping to resolve the situation. Had Platenberg made a statement on this one? |
The Epstein files didn't exist in the Obama administration and were sealed during the Biden administration. But the Biden administration did launch an investigation into the financial side of Epstein's dealings. Please research and report to the class on how long that investigation lasted under Trump. |
| Oh my god. Can this thread stay on topic. You can argue about Epstein and Trump in the politics section it’s completely irrelevant to this specific situation. |
+1. NP. Arguing about national politics detracts from this specific situation which is entirely the fault of FCPS and to some extent VDOE. FCPS could and should overhaul their approach to discipline but won't do it without a lot of pressure and that pressure needs to come from stakeholders. |
| Our society does not value girls. |
It has been recently edited but the Commonwealth's Prosecuting Attorney for Fairfax County's website used to explicitly state these protections. “Steve will make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences.” When people tell you who they are, you should believe them. He was very open about it and people voted in favor him, thus agreeing his this position. |
