🚨@FairfaxTimes. Principals at @fcpsnews @langleyFCPS @westfield_hs just told parents they also withheld National Merit awards. Many kids impacted are Asian American, likely widening @JasonMiyaresVA civil rights investigation. @WinsomeSears @GovernorVA

“The TJ rot spreads...,” one local parent said.
In the @NationalMerit competition, about 1.5 million students take the PSAT/NMSQT test, and about 50,000 students are recognized among the top 3% of students, awarding them honors akin to gold, silver and bronze medals. @IWN
In an email obtained @FairfaxTimes, @fcpsnews @langleyhs Principal @LangleyLeader Kim Greer sent a mea culpa at 9:29:30 PM Friday, saying, “I must apologize that certificates were not distributed to these Langley High School students in the usual way this past fall.” @FCPSSupt
As @FairfaxTimes editor Heather Zwicker and I were writing the @langleyhs debacle, we got a tip from a parent. At 8:39 PM tonight, @westfield_hs "Proud Principal" @T_DiBari ("he/him/his" "#KidsFirst") reported: Westfield Commended Students "were also not notified."
Local mom Saundra Davis @davisforeduc says: after @TJHSST_Official, "they thought they’d be free to pick off all the other schools. This should be a red alert to all parents.” This type of corruption motivated her to run for @fcpsnews school board. 🐾davisforeducation.com
👀 @FCPSSupt hired Mutiu Fagbayi for $455,000 to do strategic plan. Past Fagbayi advice: “To have an equity-centered organization, we have to have the courage…to be PURPOSEFULLY UNEQUAL when it comes to opportunities and access,” to get “EQUAL OUTCOMES.”
“It’s never just one cockroach.” 🪳

As an immigrant girl who grew up with cockroaches in our home, as my mother earned dollars babysitting and my dad worked at a chemical factory, I know for a fact there is never just one cockroach. 🪳

DM me or send tips to asra@asranomani.com
From @NickMinock @7NewsDC: "More Fairfax Co. schools didn't notify students of national merit recognition: Officials." In emails, @LangleyHS @LangleyLeader Principal Kim Greer + @Westfield_HS Principal @T_DiBari say Commended Students "were not notified." wjla.com/news/local/fai…

🔥 WATCH. @FCPSNews contractor told Princeton Public Schools to be "purposefully unequal" to get "equal outcomes." Indeed, 2020 email obtained @FairfaxTimes reveals "pattern and practice" of hiding National Merit awards under @TJHSST_Official @TJAnnB. 🧵will blow your mind.
🤥@FCPSSupt says withholding National Merit awards is "1-time" "error." We learned:
🔥9/10/20 @nationalmerit sent @TJAnnB award letters for 230 Commended Students, saying it was "only notification" students get.
🔥11/24/20 @TJHSST_Official told parent: "There is no letter..."
After calls by @GlennYoungkin @WinsomeSears, Virginia AG @JasonMiyaresVA launched TWO civil rights investigations into TJ National Merit scandal and TJ admissions policy a judge ruled is anti-Asian, saying: "Equity without achievement is emptiness."

🚨 EXCLUSIVE @FairfaxTimes. It gets worse. As @TJAnnB hid National Merit awards, @fcpsnews signed a 9-month no-bid contract to pay "Performance Fact Inc." $455,000 for “equity” work with the goal: “equal outcomes for every student, without exception.”
fairfaxtimes.com/articles/fairf…
EXCLUSIVE @FairfaxTimes. Deal is so sloppy, @fcpsnews @FCPSSupt team signed an agreement naming the California contractor incorrectly as "Performance Matters Inc.," instead of correct "Performance Fact Inc."
Amendment 1 total = $455,000.

The contract: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2355… Image
EXCLUSIVE @FairfaxTimes. Here is the total in Amendment 1 of NO-BID contract: $455,000 to get "equal outcomes" for "every student" -- including @TJHSST_Official students.

🧵 So you understand the racism TJ parents face: @CindyDG17 is an American-born mom and former TJ PTSA president who had the privilege of even KNOWING what National Merit means. TJ parents are mostly immigrants + never heard of National Merit. She uses her privilege to shut us up
She and her husband Bob Gersony (who was nice enough to me) have so navigated the highest levels of the US elite that author Robert D. Kaplan wrote A BOOK about her husband’s “epic life.” But she wants to keep our immigrant families in our place as she defends a racist principal.
I served as newsletter editor of This Week @ TJ when Cindy was PTSA president. She always groused about @TJAnnB, once scolding Ann for bullying the @tjsga president. Ann is a bully with teachers, parents, kids. Why does Cindy jump to her defense when even @fezuluaga apologized?

🔥🧵 Your head will explode! Reporting an @IWN investigation published @CityJournal, I just learned, TWO YEARS LATER, my son is a National Merit Commended Student in the top 3% of students. His principal hides the honor from families as @fcpsnews chases "equal outcomes" for kids.
@IWN @CityJournal @fcpsnews EXCLUSIVE @IWN @CityJournal: @TJHSST_Official principal @TJAnnB has withheld news of @NationalMerit awards from TJ families, most of them Asian, denying students the right to use the award to boost their college-admission prospects and earn scholarships. city-journal.org/war-on-merit-t…
This scandal, hiding National Merit awards from kids, emerges as @FCPSSupt @FCPSNews board launches a plan for “equal outcomes for every student, without exception,” with “equitable grading,” giving students 50% just for showing up. @FFXParentsAssoc recently exposed the policy.

WATCH + CRY. In May @Keys_Gamarra called a black dad "retarded" + gave primary custody to a mom with drug abuse + criminal history. Thanksgiving, an ER doctor found cocaine in the baby. What did Keys-Gamarra do? She had CPS seize the baby TONIGHT from the dad + his parents! @IWN
Wondered if corrupt school board members are coming for our kids? It's true. In an @IWN investigation, @d_tisler and I have uncovered a heartbreaking tragedy in Virginia. Tonight? @Keys_Gamarra + Judge Chick had CPS remove #BabyAmoria from a black dad. asrainvestigates.substack.com/p/fathering-wh…
@IWN @d_tisler @Keys_Gamarra This is the family in whose house #BabyAmoria was living: a poster family for foster care. @wusa9 @LorenzoHall concluded this story by @BruceLeshan, saying, “So much love. What a beautiful family." @Keys_Gamarra? She STOLE a baby from this family.
