“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
Journalist @lukerosiak @realDailyWire gets it. Read his super-smart piece connecting the dots on why this video matters.
@virginiapta @leetema @FairfaxNAACP must apologize to parents everywhere, inc @HarryJ4Justice @tjhsstptsa officers, who they’re trying to make “die.”
Now we know the @VirginiaPTA attack on @HarryJ4Justice, 1st black president-elect of the TJ PTSA, is personal. He & other officers oppose admissions changes to TJ. In @VirginiaPTA @leetema’s book: “Let them die!” Is this ok with you @NationalPTA? @wjmcgurn
wsj.com/articles/a-pta…
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]
-Michelle Leete @leetema
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
I have sent @VirginiaPTA @Fairfax_PTA @fccpta @FairfaxNAACP @CroomPam @NationalPTA @leetema requests for comment. Meanwhile, Michelle Leete has posted these tweets, claiming “anti-whateva outrage” and people “twist words to gin up faux outrage.”
What a cowardly response that @fcpsnews gave to @FoxNews @DormanInDc regarding the "Let them die!" hate of Michelle Leete, a leader in organizations -- @FairfaxNAACP @VirginiaPTA @fccpta -- with which Scott Brabrand @FCPSSupt @Keys_Gamarra etc. partner.

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."

It censors replies to the tweet.

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?
@arnoldporter @TJAlumniAG I asked @arnoldporter and the TJ PTSA president for comment. They did not reply to my request for comment.
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.

🧵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.org/press-releases…
🤯@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_…
