No demotion!🙂 @AP@MattBarakat did a prescient profile on VA state senator @ChapPetersen in December: "Middle man: Petersen poised to play key role in Va. Senate." His centrist position makes him beloved to parents but in the crosshairs of @FairfaxDems. apnews.com/article/electi…
🚨 Ridiculous. @fcpsnews now plays James Bond. A mom told us @DefendingEd FCPS is hiring a business for $200,000 to do social media surveillance that more resembles a CIA intel op. @DormanInDc@FoxNews explains. Coming to a school district near you? foxnews.com/us/fairfax-soc…
Read the “informal” request for proposal here @DefendingEd. This is the surveillance @fcpsnews wants to do:
🕵🏻♂️ Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
🕵🏻♂️ Classify aliases, usernames, emails, websites.
🕵🏻♂️ Visually identify relationships between people. defendinged.org/incidents/soci…
Keep your tips coming! This is what experts tell me: @fcpsnews has definitely crossed serious lines with this RFP for social media surveillance. What FCPS seeks goes beyond what corporate brands track via “listening.” FCPS is outsourcing a heavy-duty security team @alisciaandrews
It’s showtime with the @fcpsnews@FCPSSupt. They literally have Michelle Boyd, asst supt of special services, dealing with student disabilities, etc, giving parents the Covid briefing. They can’t do anything right.
#caringculture. If kids don’t mask, staff will “redirect” them, then if refusing to mask “excluded from in-person instruction” + must do “asynchronous” learning. Ditched that kids will be suspended? Why not tell parents? Listen to Michelle Boyd spell out “caring” @fcpsnews
Don’t miss this commentary from @mkhammer. Nothing gets past a mom. FCPS stands for Failed County Public Schools. Best school district to debacle.
Prince William County VA dad Jeff Darr's voice quivered as he asked his school board for justice for his daughter, sexually assaulted at school. Watch the callous @PWCSNews@BaburLateef: "We won't be answering you but you can certainly keep asking." @armyofparents@defendinged
Chair @BaburLateef worked with pal @AtifQarni, both funded by donors in the religiously conservative VA Muslim network, to destroy TJ, in part because too many Indian Hindus, not Pakistani Muslims (like them), gain admission. If sexual assault happened to a patron’s daughter…??
🔥 Executive Order by @GlennYoungkin. “I hereby issue this Executive Order to ensure excellence in K-12 public education…by taking the first step…to end the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, and to raise academic standards.” I added a seal:🔥
🔥Exec order: Supt of Public Instruction “shall raise standards in K-12 education &..increase the number of academic-year Governor's Schools..and maintain standards of excellence for students in all such schools.” The school board gutted admissions to TJHSST, a Governor’s School
🔥 Bye-bye Woke Kindergarten. Ed Supt “shall immediately review all guidelines, websites, best practices and other materials produced by” @VDOE_News “to identify those that promote or endorse divisive or inherently racist concepts. Such shall be removed.” defendinged.org/incidents/yesv…
In this video, you see @fcpsnews board member Laura Jane Cohen in new shenanigans to redistrict children. She insults parents who answered a survey with answers they don’t like. Then you hear the email she just sent asking for money to fight a recall effort. More insults.
Here’s the @fcpsnews meeting from yesterday. An expensive consultant didn’t get the board the answers they wanted in their efforts to redistrict, using the excuse of “equity.” But the board is forcing costly redistricting though constituents don’t want it.
What is more insulting about Laura Jane Cohen’s comments is she assumes income + English proficiency equals wanting to keep kids at schools close to home. As if folks who make less than “$150,000” without “English proficiency” want to bus their kids an hour and a half from home.
