It's been an interesting week for Fairfax County Public Schools, but in case you missed it. Let's recap how this week went.
Tuesday's bombshell: two minors and a teacher allege that Fairfax Centerville High facilitated covert abortions, without notifying parents.
1/🧵
2/ Wednesday morning, @jakejakeny and I discuss the story as it's first media hit, and the story starts to gain traction as a result. Pro-life groups and the Republicans in Virginia begin to respond.
@jakejakeny 3/ Thursday, Libs of Tik-Tok shares the story from @NickMinock discussing the claims for WJLA, and it begins to go viral.
@jakejakeny @NickMinock 4/ As the story begins to go viral, FCPS's superintendent responds, claiming in a letter to parents and staff:
"I want to stress that at no time would the situation as described in these allegations be acceptable in Fairfax County Public Schools."
@jakejakeny @NickMinock 5/ Thursday evening, @IngrahamAngle takes the story national, and includes that FCPS spoke to The Angle, reiterating that the allegations are unacceptable and that an external investigation was underway.
@jakejakeny @NickMinock @IngrahamAngle 6/ Friday morning, after allowing FCPS to dig themselves into the hole claiming that they had no idea about this story. I release a clip from a recording of Mrs. Perez telling FCPS investigator James Mackie in May about these allegations.
@jakejakeny @NickMinock @IngrahamAngle 7/ FCPS has been caught lying to parents in their first statement about these allegations.
The question now is obvious:
How can any Fairfax parent trust what the administration says?
Parents deserve better.
