Wherein the @LoudounNaacp accuses THOUSANDS of parents in Loudoun County of supporting "Jim Crow effort" at removing elected officials that helped cover up a sexual assault and stood by and did and said nothing while parents were targeted by activists

In a statement today, the head of the local NAACP Michelle Thomas, went to the usual bag of laughable tricks and claimed that the efforts to remove school board members was a "Jim Crow-esque effort of 2022 to suppress votes."

It's interesting that Ms. Thomas would weigh in against the thousands of parents supporting this effort to petition the government for a redress of grievances, a First Amendment right.

It's also interesting that she would want to intervene to defend a removal action based on school board members violating the First Amendment and open meeting laws in a Facebook group targeting parents and covering up a sexual assault to pass a transgender bathroom policy.

Ms. Thomas's Loudoun Freedom Center has a sole source contract with LCPS, that Commonwealth Attorney Buta Biberaj was a former official with the Loudoun NAACP, & Ms. Thomas was a member of the private Facebook group that targeted parents.

Ms. Thomas also helped rolling back race-blind admissions at the Loudoun Academies.

"Hopefully everyone will now see exactly what parents have been up against and why they've been so frustrated with the powers-that-be in Loudoun County; government officials and special interests taking over our schools at the expense of students and their parents.

"The brave parents that have taken abuse from the corrupt system in Loudoun County come from every race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.

"Ms. Thomas does not speak for them and should apologize to the thousands of parents around Loudoun County for equating their attempts to hold their elected officials accountable to a 'Jim Crow effort.'

"If Ms. Thomas wants to be taken seriously, she should cut the nonsense rhetoric and join our call for Loudoun County Public Schools to release the 'independent' report on the districts failure to keep students safe from sexual assault.

"Oh, one more thing. I would bet that every parent signing those removal petitions voted to elect the first woman of color to statewide office in Virginia."

Media should reach out to @LoudounNaacp and ask why parents concerned about elected official malfeasance and sexual assaults in schools “support Jim Crow.”
