Virginia County Trails Indoctrinators To Fight "Terrorist" Parents

A student was struck and killed by a Loudoun County Public Schools employee, and now it seems the school board is training their indoctrinators and staff to fight against parents they deem as “terrorists” following the event.

ABC News 7 has the story.

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (7News) — On Jan. 13, hours after a Loudoun County Public Schools employee struck and killed a student while driving a district maintenance vehicle, the Loudoun County School Board held a closed-door training focused on the school board’s safety.

7News has learned that the board, under the leadership of new School Board Chair April Chandler, held a closed-door meeting for school board members and staff only. The subject of the meeting? Responding to “terrorist activity” at school board meetings.

According to multiple sources who were in the room but requested we not identify them, the terrorism training involved dozens of actors, brought in by the school board, to act as Loudoun County parents. Those pretend “parents” sat in the gallery in the school board meeting room as actual families normally would.

In this training, one of the parents has a gun. The actors were screaming and yelling and running around the room, witnesses said. School board members and staff were instructed to “run, hide, and fight,” much the same as training provided to students in the event of an active shooter scenario.

Again, according to 7News sources, Chandler referred to parents as “disrupters” and “agitators” as she recalled school board meetings last year which many parents attended to speak up in support of three boys who were being investigated by the district in a case centered around policy allowing students to use the bathroom and locker room that matches their chosen gender identity, rather than their biological sex.

All of which struck a nerve with actual Loudoun County parent Scott Smith. He was arrested and removed from a packed Loudoun County School Board meeting in 2021, where parents were voicing frustrations with everything from mask policy to the bathroom/locker room rules, which were only being proposed at that time.

Even though it was a full house, the meeting was abruptly cancelled halfway through because the board was growing uncomfortable with parent complaints.

At the time, Smith’s daughter had been attacked in a high school bathroom.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” Smith said about Chandler allegedly calling parents disrupters and agitators. “They’ve been labeling me as an agitator and a disruptor from the day my daughter was raped, from the day they threw me out of the school trying to get my daughter to the hospital.”

“We’re not violent parents,” Smith added. “We’re loud. We’re very loud, and we’re very forceful because they [the school board] won’t listen. I know nobody that has wished any violence upon the school board, not me, once ever has thought about doing anything violent against the school board. We want to be heard and we want to be respected, and we want our children protected.”

Suzanne Satterfield has been attending school board meetings for years, speaking out on a number of issues, including school locker room policies. She’s outraged that the school board seems to be more focused on their own safety rather than student safety.

“It’s appalling and it’s insulting,” Satterfield said. “And what they want, I believe, is to again shift focus away from the matters at hand, like the horrible death of the student that was recently killed and it happened to be from an LCPS vehicle. It’s just so tragic.”

Satterfield believes the school board should have canceled the training and instead implemented protocols to improve student safety.

“I think that they definitely should have put that at the forefront,” said Satterfield. “I mean, my goodness. I mean, it couldn’t even be more obvious. And I think this other training shouldn’t have been happening at all.”

On Monday, 7News reached out to Loudoun County Public Schools for comment. LCPS has not yet responded.

7News also reached out to Chair Chandler and asked:

• How much did it cost LCPS to hire around 30 actors for a terrorism training?
• Whose idea was it to conduct this training? What was the purpose?
• And why was this training conducted on the night an LCPS employee killed a student?
