“Let them die,” says @FairfaxNAACP leader Michelle Leete at protest before @fcpsnews board. Folks against critical race theory are here, with protestors including Leete opposing them. It’ll be 🧨 tonight. Watch at fcps.edu/school-board/s…

Now a @TJAlumniAG member applauds “students of color” in new TJ Class of 2025. Too bad the 70% of Asian students at TJ don’t count as being “of color.”

Now police tell a parent opposed to critical race theory she can’t wear her flag scarf inside. And a white blonde woman tells me that she doesn’t agree with my writings on TJ but acknowledges my right to speak. Uhhh…thanks? #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech

Journalist @lukerosiak @realDailyWire gets it. Read his super-smart piece connecting the dots on why this video matters.
@virginiapta @leetema @FairfaxNAACP must apologize to parents everywhere, inc @HarryJ4Justice @tjhsstptsa officers, who they’re trying to make “die.”

Now we know the @VirginiaPTA attack on @HarryJ4Justice, 1st black president-elect of the TJ PTSA, is personal. He & other officers oppose admissions changes to TJ. In @VirginiaPTA @leetema’s book: “Let them die!” Is this ok with you @NationalPTA? @wjmcgurn
wsj.com/articles/a-pta…

Here is @lukerosiak’s transcript of what @leetema said: “Let’s deny this off-key band of people that are anti-education, anti-teacher, anti-equity, anti-history, anti-racial reckoning, anti-opportunities, anti-help people, anti-diversity, anti-platform, anti-science….”

“..anti-change agent, anti-social justice, anti-healthcare, anti-worker, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-children, anti-healthcare, anti-worker, anti-environment, anti-admissions policy change, anti-inclusion, anti-live-&-let live people. Let them die.”[cheering]

Hello, I’d like to see if you have a comment about this speech by PTA, NAACP leader Michelle Leete, saying about people with different points of view, “Let them die!” Do you have a comment @leetema @FairfaxNAACP @VirginiaPTA @NationalPTA @NAACP? Thank you.

Impt view @JonathanTurley: "I was..shocked like many Fairfax parents to see the videotape of Michelle Leete," @leetema @VirginiaPTA @fccpta @FairfaxNAACP, "as she called for those who oppose critical race theory and identity divisions in school to 'die.'"

A mom just tried to call @VirginiaPTA and they are supposed to be open but they have a recording that they are closed. Call @NationalPTA. They are collecting complaints. 703-518-1200. Email the executive director Nathan Monell at nmonell@pta.org. cc me at asra@asranomani.com

I have sent @VirginiaPTA @Fairfax_PTA @fccpta @FairfaxNAACP @CroomPam @NationalPTA @leetema requests for comment. Meanwhile, Michelle Leete has posted these tweets, claiming “anti-whateva outrage” and people “twist words to gin up faux outrage.”

What a cowardly response that @fcpsnews gave to @FoxNews @DormanInDc regarding the "Let them die!" hate of Michelle Leete, a leader in organizations -- @FairfaxNAACP @VirginiaPTA @fccpta -- with which Scott Brabrand @FCPSSupt @Keys_Gamarra etc. partner.

JUST IN: A cowardly @VirginiaPTA response: "Virginia PTA is aware of news reports about a disturbing choice of words used by a board member during a public event."

It will send board members to "sensitivity training."

It censors replies to the tweet.
