Fairfax County Public Schools secretly sold China a 'Handbook to Clone' TJ, the top math school in the US. In exchange for $3.6M, it gave physical blueprints, curriculum, personal visits, and even student work. China used it to create 20 'Thomas Schools'
China lists TJ's former principal and an ex-Stanford dean as members of the Thomas Schools’ “steering committee,” serving alongside China’s former Secretary General of the State Education Consultative Committee and former deputy director in the Ministry of Education.
Documents show FCPS providing CCP-linked officials with private information about the school. FCPS claimed that the money was a donation and the nonprofit that received the money was separate from the school, but both claims are undermined by documents it tried to conceal.
FCPS tried to conceal the selling of one of America's top educational assets to America's top adversary by charging @DefendingEd $35,000 to see the documents under public records laws.
It only emerged because they called their bluff and actually paid!
At the same time that it was exporting TJ's traditional rigorous model to our economic adversary, officials were diluting the rigor of the Virginia STEM program in the name of racial 'equity,' resulting in the need for remedial math courses at what was once an elite program.

The daughter of an imam who led a mosque where multiple 9/11 hijackers worshipped, and who an FBI report said raised millions for Hamas, is an Arlington, Virginia public school teacher who forced students to criticize Israel as part of English class.
Shayma Al-Hanooti grew up living in a compound at Dar al-Hijrah mosque, where one leader (Anwar al-Awlaki) was a terrorist killed by drone strike by Barack Obama, another was convicted of trying to kill Bush, and the mosque's phone # was among the possessions of a 9/11 planner
Now she teaches English at Washington-Liberty HS, where she tries to trick poor black kids into joining her jihad, on the taxpayer dime, forcing them to watch movies about Gaza and explain why arguments that Israel isn't committing genocide are fallacious.
At the time, Pines was a rocket-science PhD leading a program “to increase the number of underrepresented minority PhDs in four departments within the College of Engineering.” The content he stole was from a student who until recently had been working in a restaurant.
Pines' attempt to cover his tracks missed two British spellings that serve as smoking guns--"modelling" and "endeavour," which he tried to Americanize by removing the A instead of the U.
UMD did not deny the lifting, but suggested there would be no repercussions.
.@dailywire spoke to multiple residents in Bethel Park, PA who say police have removed items from a house where a 20-year old suspected of shooting Trump lives. Police moved items into the street, and canvassed neighbors, telling one to leave his house, they said.
@dailywire The 20-year old male lives with his mother, who is handicapped and often clings to her husband to walk, they said. The family keeps to themselves. The mother was sitting in the street among evidence tonight, they said. Records suggest he registered to vote as a Republican.
Despite the voter registration, he donated $15 to a Democrat group dedicated to "defending democracy" on Biden's inauguration day. Both of his parents are counselors.
To fix a reputation for secrecy+partisanship, Loudoun County Schools hired Natalie Allen at $250k. Allen plotted to censor media outlets while an X account in her husband’s name launched vile sexual attacks against journalists, parents & conservatives.
The account linked to the LCPS spox claimed that a conservative parent put a journalist's "little dick down his throat behind the Arby's" and mocked parents of the school district as "middle-aged soccer mom[s]” who were angry because their pool boys would not have sex with them.
The focus of the X account's rage mirrors the fixations of Allen as revealed by a separate report from her office. It is unknown whether Allen tweets from her husband's account; despite the massive PR budget, Allen's office rarely answers questions, and did not do so here.
Hours after Fairfax County teachers voted to join Randi Weingarten's union, the school board announced that elementary school will now be part-time, with many Mondays half days-an impossibility for working parents, but making less work for teachers.
The shocking move, signaling that schools exist to serve staff rather than to educate students, comes after recent Democrat legislation allowed unionization in Virginia. They are doubling down after lying that they were unusually at risk of COVID to refuse to work for a year
Unions were developed as a way for workers to bargain against management. But this is not that: the school board was elected through the campaigning of union members, and openly said it was fully on their side. There’s no one on the other side of the table.
.@realchrisrufo and I have discovered the most egregious case of plagiarism yet: the DEI czar at UCLA School of Medicine, which blamed opiates on "whiteness," had doctors praise "revolutionary suicide," taught about "two-spirits," and led a class in chanting "Free Palestine."
@realchrisrufo Natalie Perry is tasked with "embedding" her values in the med school's "DNA" as the leader of the DEI program Cultural North Star. But she couldn't even write that in her bio without illiterate errors ("North Stars [sic] value [sic]"). So: Did this person actually earn a PhD?
No. UCLA says Perry's job is to teach med students to "do what's right," saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.” In fact, Perry is both unethical and incompetent, and her academic career is built on brazen fraud.
