😳@fcpsnews TODAY REQUIRED students at non-TJHSST school to give views BY NAME on TJ admissions + an anti-TJ story by @hannah_natanson about a TJ student. Hannah & FCPS do NOT disclose: the student is a leader in 501c4 lobbying group @TJAlumniAG & her mom has been on FCPS payroll
Why are @fcpsnews@FCPSSupt demanding answers from students BY NAME about admissions policies at a school, TJHSST, that isn’t even their own? Why are they demanding the students read a hit piece on the school? And why don’t they disclose the conflicts of interest?
The required anti-TJ survey was sent by Woodson High School to students. Here is the letter I sent to the Woodson High School principal and TJ principal expressing outrage of so many parents to harassment of TJ students and families by @fcpsnews. (Don't mind 1 typo in letter)
Scratch the surface and you find @DrIbram and the racism of “anti-racism.” @WTWCavalry@WTWoodsonHS Assistant Principal @DrGeorgeHewan leads the Woodson HS “Social Justice Club,” reading Kendi’s “How to be an Anti-Racist.” Woodson has now made it open season to bully TJHSST kids.

“The Daniel Pearl murder was a strain of international terrorism,” Farooq Naek, Sindh govt special prosecutor, told judges. He laid out how Omar Sheikh used a fake identify to trap Danny. Danny was chasing a story that a cleric, 👇🏽Sheikh Gilani, directed shoe bomber Richard Reid.
Omar Sheikh was sitting in the office of a jihadi org in Islamabad when the phone rang. “Arif” answered. A journalist Danny had hired asked if anyone knew how to find Sheikh Gilani. Omar heard. He faked being a student of Gilani. He set up to meet Danny at the Akbar Intl Hotel👇🏽
Live tweeting here....Watch @fcpsnews@FCPSSupt town hall on his race-based lottery admissions plan to no. 1 high school NOW 7 PM-8 PM. Critical race theory in suburbs.
WATCH: fcps.edu/tv/ch99
CALL IN if you believe in merit, race-blind admissions: 1-800-231-6359
So @FCPSSupt admits it's e "social justice" plan that he is all about. He says TJ demographic isn't representative demographic of Fairfax County. His goals are 100% race-based and it's 100% anti-Asian. Read my @cityjournal piece with @maxeden99cityjourn.al/3confyu
What a shame! 100s of letters by parents, students, community from @coalitionforTJ and it's the same song and dance about a "portrait of a graduate" that @FCPSSupt claims TJ doesn't have now, but @FCPS happily brags about the mostly Asian students wtop.com/local/2020/04/…
BREAKING @FCPSSupt@fcpsnews uploads flawed plan to eliminate race-blind, merit-based admissions to America’s No. 1 high school + replace it with euphemism it calls “merit lottery,” but there is little merit + more lottery.
Earns F grade. READ PLAN BELOW asrainvestigates.substack.com/p/breaking-mer…
This is roadshow TODAY for plan to gut Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology with flawed scheme to actually increase underrepresented minorities. @fcpsnews@FCPSSupt included ZERO public participation. WATCH THE SHOW 3-530 PM LIVE at fcps.edu/tv/ch99
Lawyers for Danny Pearl's parents, Ruth and @yudapearl, are set to argue to judges of the Pakistan Supreme Court to keep Omar Sheikh + his 3 coconspirators in jail. May this painful chapter end for Danny's family so they can know sukhoon, peace of mind. asrainvestigates.substack.com/p/breaking-pak…
🧵8/28 I shared my heart was trembling at what @GovernorVA Sec of Education Atif Qarni had done. Read @AP@MattBarakat: Qarni defamed me as being in a "hate group" + has banned our PTSA from speaking at a "listening" session. Everybody should be outraged. apnews.com/4ffeff749724f5…
2) Atif Qarni initiated a call with TJ PTSA president + 8/28 alleged I'm in a "hate group" as designated by @splcenter. Which one? Muslim Reform Movement, he answered. It is NOT an SPLC hate group. We stand for peace, women's rights + secular governance. muslimreformmovement.org
3) Since my son was in kindergarten, I've been a @fcpsnews PTA volunteer. For 2 years, I've been a TJ PTSA corresponding secretary. I'm NOT writing in an official capacity here. Qarni was reaching into the TJ PTSA to block me as its rep at the listening session, smearing me.
.@fcpsnews dad Vinson Palathingal came from India & saw the crisis in education in Fairfax County. He ran for school board in 2019. The Asian American community alas didn’t come out to vote. “There is a disconnect,” he said. Now “meritocracy is under attack.”
As an Asian American born in Taiwan, Sue Zoldak noticed that the @fcpsnews doesn’t represent the community. She started @DoBetterFCPS to “help the parents here.” “It’s important for parents to have voice.”
