“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
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
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."
TJ PTSA's president is an attorney @arnoldporter , which represents lobbyist @TJAlumniAG. TJAAG lobbied to kill the merit test to TJ. She says TJAAG is not her client. She voted to NOT release a survey showing parents support the merit test. Does she have a conflict of interest?
Why does this matter? Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology is a crown jewel in America's education system and winning it is a feather in the cap -- or crown -- of woke activists, represented in this battle by @TJAlumniAG and @arnoldporter. This is no ordinary fight.
🚨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."
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. defendinged.org/incidents/crt-…
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.
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_…
