In the wake of an alleged brutal rape at Rockville High School in
Maryland by two illegal aliens last week, Montgomery County
Superintendent Dr. Jack Smith is accusing parents of racism and
xenophobia. He also claims threats are being made against students and
schools."While I know this tragic incident has become part of a national political debate, I want to remind community members that the lives of real students have been forever affected," Smith sent in an email Thursday morning. "While many have chosen to engage civilly in the conversation, far too many have crossed the line with racist, xenophobic calls and emails. MCPS is working with law enforcement to identify those who are making threats toward our students and schools. This behavior will not be tolerated in our community."
Nowhere in the email was it mentioned the suspects are in the country illegally, with at least one facing deportation.
Parents have been protesting outside of Smith's office in recent days and did not mince words about the situation during a public meeting Tuesday night. One parent said he took his daughter out of school last year because of an unsafe environment.
Meanwhile, Republican Governor Larry Hogan is demanding answers.
