Glenn Youngkin needs to step in and assert state control over the vile Fairfax County school system.
Fairfax County borders on Loudoun County. The Loudoun County school system covered up not one but two sexual assaults by a "trans" student against girls. It's now being sued for $30 million for permitting girls to be raped like crazy.
There is something evil in northern Virginia.
The Fairfax County Public Schools system in Virginia has launched an investigation into accusations that school staff arranged abortions for students without notifying their parents, according to local reports.
All of the finger-quotes for " " " investigation. " " "
Mistakes were made. The policy was unclear. Let's fire the policy and keep the teachers involved in this. That's what they always say -- they refuse to fire any wrongdoers and just claim "the system," which cannot be fired and does not belong to the teachers union, is to blame.
School officials at Centreville High School in Union Hill allegedly arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls in 2021, including a 17-year-old, according to local news outlet WJLA.
"We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021," FCPS said in a statement to the outlet on Wednesday. "We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously."
Pressed on whether FCPS staff have ever arranged abortions for students, including in this case, the district said it was not aware of any instances of the sort.
"Not to [our] knowledge. We have launched an immediate investigation into these concerns as soon as we were made aware," the district told WJLA.
FCPS policy states that "every effort shall be made to encourage and support students suspecting pregnancy to discuss their concerns with their parents or guardians." However, it does not say FCPS employees should inform parents about those conversations.
Seems like the policy was pretty clear -- yes, school officials are ordered to help students get abortions and hide this from their parents.
This report makes it sound worse. It claims the school officials, including, of course, a "social worker" told students they "had to" get abortions.
According to an exclusive report from the local WC Dispatch, the allegations from two former Centreville High School students revealed that the same counselor at the school spirited away the girls to the Fairfax Healthcare Center. They allege that the school principal knew and arranged for tax money to pay for killing the babies without notifying parents.
The girls were told "they had no choice" but to have the abortions.
The 17-year-old girl who was five months pregnant was so frightened at the coercion that she ran away from the clinic and told a teacher. That teacher was subsequently ordered to keep quiet.
The Dispatch reported how this apparent frightening and coercive abortion "pipeline" worked at Centreville High School.
"A handwritten statement from [a student who went through with the abortion]...lays out how [social worker Carolina] Díaz scheduled the appointment, paid the clinic's fees, and swore her to secrecy," according to the Dispatch. It was all illegal, because "The girl, an 11th-grade ESOL student, says the abortion took place in November 2021--while she was still seventeen--making the concealment a straight-line violation of state law."
