The school board was denying an assault had taken place. Superintendent Dr. Scott Ziegler said at the meeting there were no records of “assaults occurring in our restrooms.” And indicated to the parents that Smith was lying about his daughter being raped.
Ziegler knew at the time that there had been a secret transfer of the accused student to another school. And the student committed a second rape at his new school.
Smith was wrestled to the ground by police after arguing with another parent who also accused him of fabricating the assault.
Mr. Smith’s case was used in the NSBA letter as an example of someone school boards need protection from. And he has been portrayed as a bigot in social media.
“That’s wrong. I am not a bully. I am not a racist. I love everyone. I love this country. I want better stuff for it,” he insists.
Some of the most contentious events are taking place in the Virginia suburbs. And the background includes the nearing contested election for Governor in November.
