🚨@FairfaxTimes. Principals at @fcpsnews @langleyFCPS @westfield_hs just told parents they also withheld National Merit awards. Many kids impacted are Asian American, likely widening @JasonMiyaresVA civil rights investigation. @WinsomeSears @GovernorVA

“The TJ rot spreads...,” one local parent said.
In the @NationalMerit competition, about 1.5 million students take the PSAT/NMSQT test, and about 50,000 students are recognized among the top 3% of students, awarding them honors akin to gold, silver and bronze medals. @IWN
In an email obtained @FairfaxTimes, @fcpsnews @langleyhs Principal @LangleyLeader Kim Greer sent a mea culpa at 9:29:30 PM Friday, saying, “I must apologize that certificates were not distributed to these Langley High School students in the usual way this past fall.” @FCPSSupt
As @FairfaxTimes editor Heather Zwicker and I were writing the @langleyhs debacle, we got a tip from a parent. At 8:39 PM tonight, @westfield_hs "Proud Principal" @T_DiBari ("he/him/his" "#KidsFirst") reported: Westfield Commended Students "were also not notified."
Parents allege theft of kids' futures and coverup + complicity by @FCPSSupt and 12 @FCPSNews board @RachnaHeizer @Keys_Gamarra @ElaineTholen @AbrarOmeish @Megan4Schools @MelanieForEdu @stella_pekarsky @LauraJaneCohen @ricardy4mason @Kaufax4Schools @Karen4Schools @KarlFrisch
Local mom Saundra Davis @davisforeduc says: after @TJHSST_Official, "they thought they’d be free to pick off all the other schools. This should be a red alert to all parents.” This type of corruption motivated her to run for @fcpsnews school board. 🐾davisforeducation.com
👀 @FCPSSupt hired Mutiu Fagbayi for $455,000 to do strategic plan. Past Fagbayi advice: “To have an equity-centered organization, we have to have the courage…to be PURPOSEFULLY UNEQUAL when it comes to opportunities and access,” to get “EQUAL OUTCOMES.”
“It’s never just one cockroach.” 🪳
As an immigrant girl who grew up with cockroaches in our home, as my mother earned dollars babysitting and my dad worked at a chemical factory, I know for a fact there is never just one cockroach. 🪳
DM me or send tips to asra@asranomani.com
From @NickMinock @7NewsDC: "More Fairfax Co. schools didn't notify students of national merit recognition: Officials." In emails, @LangleyHS @LangleyLeader Principal Kim Greer + @Westfield_HS Principal @T_DiBari say Commended Students "were not notified." wjla.com/news/local/fai…
