Only three years after getting busted for covering up multiple sexual assaults by a transgender student in high school bathrooms, Loudoun County Public Schools is once again in the news and making the rounds on social media - this time for allegedly allowing an accused MS-13 gang member - who’s already been arrested with a gun, no less - into a county high school.
Which, needless to say, hasn’t sat well with local parents.
First reported by local ABC affiliate WJLA-TV, the boy, who is reportedly in the country illegally and is a known member of the violent MS-13 gang, was arrested while attending Blue Ridge Middle School for allegedly threatening to kill a fellow student, and was found to be illegally carrying a firearm.
Despite all that, the boy has since been enrolled at Loudoun Valley High School.
When WJLA asked LCPS to explain why they allowed a known gang member arrested for carrying a gun and threatening another student back into a public high school, the school system responded with a generic response about how the administration “has created a comprehensive safety and security plan to protect students, staff and visitors,” adding that “it is LCPS practice not to publicly discuss an individual student’s discipline.”
When the news outlet reached out to the school board for answers, they said they did not get a response.

So parents showed up to a recent school board meeting to express their outrage and demand an explanation. They didn’t get one.

Instead, Loudoun County School Board Chair Melinda Mansfield actually interrupted multiple parents who used their public comment time to express concern over the situation.
ABC7 reports:
“Where is the protection and the safety for our children who are in school with other children who have known threats, who have been arrested and who are back in school, and my daughter's terrified to go to school with him,” one parent told the school board before Mansfield cut the parent off and asked her to not discuss personally identifiable information about a student during public comment.
“I have not given any personally identifying information,” the parent responded to Mansfield. “This child has gone to great lengths to show everyone who he is.”
“Excuse me, what you’re saying right now is personal,” Mansfield said.
(Which seems to suggest that the boy in question is still a student at LCPS, given the school board's insistence on protecting "the student" and his privacy.)
It's not exactly like parents are making a mountain out of a molehill, here. On top of the fact that LCPS has already shown themselves willing to lie to parents to cover their own rears, other instances of violent illegal alien teens being allowed to attend public schools have made headlines. In Maryland, an illegal alien MS-13 member was allowed to attend a public high school even after he became the primary suspect in the brutal murder of a young autistic woman found strangled to death in her own bed in 2022. He later confessed to having murdered multiple people in his home country of El Salvador before coming to the United States unlawfully and being enrolled in a local school.
But rather than address the very legitimate concerns of Loudoun County parents, Mansfield continued to dismiss and shut down complaints during last week's board meeting, cutting off a second parent who brought up the “unscrupulous coverup that betrayed the trust of parents” in 2021, when LCPS lied to parents regarding two sexual assaults that had taken place in local high schools by a supposedly transgender student.
After a third parent took to the mic to demand an explanation for why a violent illegal alien gang member was allowed into his kid’s high school, Mansfield again interrupted, abruptly ended the public comment section of the meeting, and the school board left the room.
Board members who’ve spoken to local outlets have since said that the school system has “solved the problem,” but won’t tell parents how.
“I cannot answer that question, because FERPA will not permit me to do so,” School Board Member Kari LaBell told ABC7 over the phone. “I cannot disclose anything about any student that would allow, whether it's public news or not, people to put together pieces and link them to a specific student. That is against the law…But I will tell you that when this issue was brought to my attention, I investigated. I spoke to the school principal, I spoke to the administration, I spoke to the sheriff's department, and we have solved the problem. It is no longer an issue, and Loudoun County Public School students are safe, and that's all I am permitted to say on this issue.”
Of course, the school board and then-superintendent also told parents back in 2021 that there weren’t any reports of girls being sexually assaulted by gender-confused boys in their high school bathrooms.
And the lie detector test determined that was a lie.
