You MUST read this story. @tjhsstptsa members voted its first Black president-elect to office, @HarryJ4Justice, a brave advocate against the new anti-Asian admissions process. @VirginiaPTA wasn’t going to stand for that. You won’t believe what they did. 👀
freebeacon.com/campus/virgini…
Writes @FreeBeacon @alexnester2020: “The @VirginiaPTA sent a letter of intent to abolish the parent group of the nation’s top high school after a slate of candidates opposed to critical race theory won an election earlier this month.”
freebeacon.com/campus/virgini…
🤦🏻‍♀️@VirginiaPTA wants a voting seat for principal @TJAnnB “who in a June email asked parents to check their ‘privileges.’” They back the PTSA pres who “works for a law firm @arnoldporter that represents @TJAlumniAG, which backed the elimination of the entrance exam” #corruption

🧵BREAKING! According to a FOIA we filed @DefendingEd, @fcpsnews signed a $49,600 purchase order with @LeadershipAcad_ for a bogus "anti-racism" survey rigged to drive the consultants business.
Read the column I wrote with Elizabeth Schultz @RealClearEd👇🏽
realcleareducation.com/articles/2021/…
🚨ACTION ALERT. @DefendingEd created a portal where Fairfax County residents can send a message to @FCPSSupt Scott Brabrand, FCPS School Board's 12 members + new Chief Equity Officer @LisaLwilliams13
to express their opposition to the the biased survey.

🤯@DefendingEd FOIA revealed @fcpsnews signed a $49,600 Feb. 8 purchase order with @LeadershipAcad_ to do “Anti-Bias Community Engagement Policy,” including a “survey.” THEN March 11, it signed a 4-year contract that could add up to $700,000+

MUST READ @USATODAY chronicles the national movement against teaching hateful critical race theory to kids. One thing: it's not just "Republicans."
@aliaemily cites new @DefendingEd poll that reveals MOST folks oppose racist ideas of critical race theory.
usatoday.com/story/news/edu…
Media needs to stop pigeonholing this as "conservative." @USATODAY @aliaemily recognizes: "A recent poll by @DefendingEd found more than two-thirds of respondents "opposed schools teaching that America was founded on racism + is structurally racist."
defendinged.org/press-releases…
The @USATODAY piece acknowledges: "Close to 3 in 4 respondents said schools shouldn't teach students that white people are inherently privileged and people of color inherently oppressed."

I returned to testify tonight at the virtual @FCPSNews School Board budget hearing. Board member @MelanieForEdu interrupted me to claim my testimony wasn't "germaine." Read my "germaine" findings @newsweekopinion: newsweek.com/virginia-burea…. From Oregon to VA, we're @defendingEd!
JUST IN. @fcpsnews whistleblower sent @DefendingEd the questions teachers got in the SHAM survey @FCPSSupt sent out last week -- cowritten by consultant @NYCLeadership.
Agree or disagree? "I have what I need to carry our an anti-racist and anti-biased education." #leading #scam
Agree or disagree?
16. I regularly examine how my beliefs, biases, and role may contribute to or replicate inequitable practices.
17. I purposefully learn about the multiple identities of my students, families, and communities to inform my decision-making and actions.

We filed this report today @DefendingEd exposing more critical race theory indoctrination in @fcpsnews. Findings: FCPS already paid NYC Leadership Academy $48,500 since Oct 2020. They signed a "Notice of Award" that would be worth 100s of 1000s of dollars.

I'm about to go to the FCPS school board meeting to ask the tough questions in person. Wish me luck. My head is about to explode. FCPS is refusing to answer a simple question about how much they paid for a survey today to push critical race theory on kids.
I’m at the FCPS school board meeting. What hypocrisy. This is from @Keys_Gamarra acting like she cares about Asian Americans when she led the anti-Asian campaign, calling our TJHSST families and students “toxic” and racist.

🧵Now that we have a #verdict #DerekChauvinIsGuilty, let's examine how activists exploited #GeorgeFloyd to sneak #BlackLivesMatter #CriticalRaceTheory into K-12.

I filed a FOIA + investigated for @DefendingEd how it happened at our No1 HS. Read @FDRLST👇🏽
thefederalist.com/2021/04/20/ind…
Teachers lectured students, who are 70% Asian, 10% Black, Hispanic + multiracial & 20% white, about “intersectionality” + called out the mostly minority students of color for their “racism.”

Watch a @TJAlumniAG activist tell students not to salsa.
TJ principal Ann Bonitatibus @TJAnnB calls the presentation "created by students." She claims: “There is no critical race theory training with students.” Read the FOIA👇🏽to see how she + staff were directly involved with the training as far back as Aug 2020 defendinged.org/incidents/blm_…

🚨IMPT point from @DefendingEd Nicole Neily in @WSJopinion: “New York’s Selective Public Schools Aren’t Only for the Wealthy.
More than 60% of the students at Brooklyn Tech High School + nearly half the students at Stuyvesant High School live in poverty.”

wsj.com/articles/new-y…
🧵Writes Nicole Neily @DefendingEd: “@MoskowitzEva makes an excellent point that New York City students suffer from a shortage of good schools (“Great Schools Are the Solution to Educational ‘Segregation,’ ” Cross Country, April 12).” Image
“But we shouldn’t make the mistake of viewing the city’s selective schools as disproportionately composed of the children of affluent white families.”
