🧶 This took me 2 days to share—it’s so painful. Thursday, @fcpsnews did the unconscionable, using security to scare mama bears from India, China, Peru, the USA. Hear our voices rise up to reveal the hypocrisy of their systemic racism in #UnFairfax. We triumph! I ❤️ these moms.
Our night began with a @coalitionforTJ rally to tell @fcpsnews to #StopAsianHate in #UnFairfax VA. Thank you @fox5dc @PerrisFox5DC for sharing our story. The school board, @TJAnnB @FCPSSupt @AtifQarni conspired against Asian kids. Hear @TJAlumniAG endorse what is now illegal.
Meet @MarguliesNorma, who immigrated from Peru. @fcpsnews had the bigotry of low expectations for her son, who is in the last class admitted on merit in 2020. 🔥She describes Judge Hilton’s “devastating indictment of your moral caliber.” “Resign!” Watch how the camera then moves.
Did you know TJ dad @HarryJ4Justice was the 1st black student from Lancaster PA to attend the US Naval Academy? He is a hero. He doesn’t have to be in this fight. He told me @fcpsnews used black + Hispanic kids to put a hit on Asians kids. He now says to the board: “ Resign!”

Today @DevonWesthill + I testified sincerely on the racism of critical race theory. Rep Sheila Jackson Lee disparaged us as political. I started filming my evidence, juxtaposed with her denials. “You need to put down your camera,” she said in a subcommittee on the constitution 🤦🏻‍♀️
I know. It’s weird I said, “This is free speech.”🤔
I wasn’t speaking. But I was—through my camera, documenting for you the ‘receipts’ as Rep Sheila Jackson Lee denied critical race theory’s racism.
🙏🏽@RepMikeJohnson for giving me your time for a rebuttal.
Please watch the full video to see the challenges we face with Democrats literally ignoring the pleas by @DevonWesthill and me to dismantle the racism of “equity” and critical race theory. @JudiciaryGOP @HouseJudiciary

🚩@TerryMcAuliffe gaslit parents that there is no CRT in VA K-12. Thurs 11:20 PM in empty @fcpsnews board meeting, @AbrarOmeish dramatically announced she will host a "yeah, it's coming, critical race theory" lesson. It's 2/23, 7 PM on her official FB page bit.ly/FairFACTS
@TerryMcAuliffe @fcpsnews @AbrarOmeish Omeish said the student school board rep and she would be "cohosting a conversation about JEDI initiatives....justice, equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives, specifically addressing the topic of, yeah, it's coming, critical race theory." She laughed.

Abrar Omeish, who needles the community regularly, said: "We'll have some national experts join us on the 23rd for a virtual conversation and answering the community's questions...by shedding light on what I think has been severely misunderstood..."

✔️9/29 @NSBAPublicEd chief Chip Slaven sends 911 to @JoeBiden about “domestic terrorism” by parents
✔️10/4 @TheJusticeDept AG Garland directs @FBI against parents
✔️10/5 🚨NSBA email @DefendingEd got via FOIA: “..Chip knew about the US AG directives before they were published.” Image
Read it here ⬇️ Then @NSBAPublicEd board member Pam Doyle wrote about Chip Slaven: “I understand Chip knew about the U.S. AG directives before they were published. So much for communicating with the BOD,” or board of directors.

defendinged.org/press-releases…
What has it meant that brave parents refused the label of “domestic terrorists”? It means the @NSBAPublicEd is now conducting an investigation on what happened and when it happened. Stand strong, parents against the anti-education lobby! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Spot me in my 1975 MLK School 5th grade photo? Imagine telling my younger self to go to "Families of Color Playground Night"? That is the new segregation of today's "anti-racism," chronicled in my 1st @UnHerd essay, edited by sunny @freyaMsanders! Pls read!unherd.com/2022/02/how-to…
Meditate on the faces of these kids -- styling + self-expressed -- (yes! I'm the "mouse" on the left, front row, in a fuchsia dress my mother handmade from her silks from India) -- and let's ask: did we need "Families of Color Playground Night" or the best education we could get?
For almost a year, parents have been reporting to @esanzi, Nicole Neily, me + our amazing team @DefendingEd cases of K-12 segregation. Centennial Elementary School's "Families of Color Playground Night" made me juxtapose my reality with today's reality. Which do we want?

🚨 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

🔥JUST IN @DefendingEd -> Dem Del @ChapPetersen, the "Joe Manchin of Virginia," sends scathing letter to @fcpsnews @FCPSSupt.
>> "As a parent I've had enough."
Yes! He writes as a #PapaBear on fire🔥He said he will work with @GlennYoungkin to END forced masks.
@fcpsopen ImageImageImageImage
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.
