Furious parents are demanding the resignation of Loudoun County Schools Superintendent Scott Ziegler who claimed on June 22 that the school had received no reports of sexual assaults by trans kids in bathrooms, four weeks after a girl told teachers she'd been raped in the bathrooms by a male 'in a skirt'.
On June 22, Ziegler, who earns $295,000 as the school superintendent - a job he took over in January - told a crowded school board meeting: 'To my knowledge, we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.
He then went further, calling it a debunked theory that a transgender person is more likely to sexually assault a cisgender person, and that the 'predatory trans person does not exist'.
'I think it’s important to keep our perspective on this, we’ve heard it several times tonight from our public speakers but the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist,' he said.
Four weeks earlier, Scott Smith's 15-year-old daughter told teachers she was raped in the girls' bathrooms at Stone Bridge High School in Leesburg, Virginia, by a male student who had been allowed into the bathroom because he told staff he identified as female.
The boy was arrested in July - a month after the meeting - but he went on to allegedly sexually assault another girl, at a different school in the same district, in October.
He is now in juvenile detention awaiting a court appearance on all charges, which include sexual battery and forcible sodomy.

Parents on Tuesday called for Ziegler's resignation at a school board meeting. More than 60 irate parents and one student attended the meeting
14-year-old Katie Young also spoke at the meeting. She said: 'I am 14 years old, the fact that I have to be here defending my rights to not have your radical agenda shoved down my throat in school is not only concerning, it's upsetting.'
On Tuesday, furious parents and one 14-year-old student attended a meeting where they called for Ziegler's resignation.
'This is not China, this is the United States of America, and we will not be silenced.
'Remove the superintendent immediately and then resign for your negligence and duplicity. End this nightmare!' one mother fumed, according to videos obtained by Fox News.
'Your moral compasses are busted! You, Dr. Ziegler, and our school board – every one of you – are complicit in these crimes against our children because you did nothing about it, nothing.
'What is worse than a child being raped at school? The coverup by those who are trusted with the safety and well-being of children.
Ziegler took the job in Loudoun County in January after working in HR for years. He is paid $295,000 a year
'Today, Scott Ziegler must resign for the unconscionable act of allowing an alleged rapist back into school to rape again, and for that coverup,' said another.
'I am 14 years old, the fact that I have to be here defending my rights to not have your radical agenda shoved down my throat in school is not only concerning, it's upsetting.
'My peers and I are not tools to further your political agenda,' said Katie Young, the 14-year-old student.
'We warned you about policies that you were putting into place that would be a danger to our students, and we've seen that happen.
'When is enough enough? When are you going to change the policies to keep our children safe?' a father said.
His alleged behavior is exactly the type that parents said
