Virginia’s Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares, a Republican, said during a press conference Thursday that he plans to investigate Loudoun County Public Schools and the recent sexual assaults that took place on its campuses.
“Do you plan to investigate Loudoun County Public Schools and the recent sexual assaults that have happened there?” a journalist asked during the press conference.
“Yes,” Miyares responded.
A ninth grade girl was sexually assaulted by a boy wearing a skirt who entered a girls’ bathroom at Loudoun County Public Schools’ Stone Bridge High School on May 28. The same suspect allegedly committed another sexual assault just a few months later at a different school.

More, he clarified that he is thinking “specifically” about “some of the so-called social justice commonwealth attorneys” who have been elected “particularly in Northern Virginia.”
Miyares said Virginia has seen some “pretty horrific cases” that have been made public where state prosecutors have failed to do their job. He said that he wants to bring victims back to the forefront of the process based on his own experience as a prosecutor.
IMO, Youngkin, et al, were elected because of issues, not a party loyalty transfer. Delivering what voters want/need is the path to success in the next election. I hope Rs in VA and in the US generally understand that dynamic and act accordingly.

And this is exactly the kind of thing that will help restore confidence in state and local government -- that is, IF Miyares is as good as his word and pursues an efficient, accurate, and effective investigation with the followup in indictments and prosecutions.
In addition to the attorneys he mentioned, special consideration and focus should be given to the Loudoun County school superintendent and the entire school board. They must be held accountable.
