I demand the NSBA retract its statement that I am a \u2018domestic terrorist,\u2019 or I will have no other choice but to seek a court to do it for them.\u201d\u00a0As The Daily Wire exclusively\u00a0reported, Scott Smith alleged that a boy wearing a skirt went into a girls\u2019 bathroom at a local high school where he sexually assaulted Smith\u2019s ninth-grade daughter.\u00a0\u201cJuvenile records are sealed, but Smith\u2019s attorney Elizabeth Lancaster told The Daily Wire that a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio, related to an incident that day at that school,\u201d The Daily Wire reported.\u00a0Smith was arrested after attending a school board meeting where the topic of a transgender policy was raised. At the meeting, the superintendent said that concerns about the policy were misplaced since the school system had no record of any assault occurring in any school bathroom.\u00a0Smith has said he was then confronted by a left-wing community activist who told him she didn\u2019t believe his daughter. A police officer pulled on his arm, and Smith yanked it away, which led to an altercation. \u201cBefore he knew it, Smith says, he was hit in the face, handcuffed, and dragged across the floor, with his pants pulled down. Images of the incident were splashed on televisions and newspapers across the world,\u201d The Daily Wire noted.The Smith family also recently announced they are pursuing civil action against Loudoun County Public Schools under the provisions of Title IX after the publication\u00a0of The Daily Wire\u2019s blockbuster report, alleging that Loudoun County Public Schools covered up the sexual assault.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
