Rockville Superintendent: Complaining about illegals raping students is racist

The gruesome rape of a 14-year old by two unauthorized immigrants has raised concerns of America’s broken borders even in the very Democratic county of Montgomery, Maryland. The sudden demands by parents to enforce immigration law is not sitting well with liberal elected officials who are pushing back by calling them “racist” and “xenophobic.”

Parents from all over Rockville, including many Democrats, are looking for answers and some are even demanding the county stop granting benefits to unauthorized immigrants.

Montgomery County Superintendent Dr. Jack Smith responded to the parents’ demands by accusing them of being racist, reported Town Hall.

“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 wrote in an email on 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.”

Still, parents and Gov. Larry Hogan (R) are demanding answers from Smith. This whole incident could at least have a silver lining for Democrats calling for accountability among their elected officials to follow immigration law.
