Show up and Make Your Voice Heard!
Tomorrow evening (Thursday, October 20) at 7:00, the Fairfax County School Board will hold its regular monthly public meeting in the auditorium at Jackson Middle School, 3020 Gallows Road, Falls Church.
On the agenda is a resolution whose title should send chills up your spine: “Teach Truth FCPS.”
Recall that in George Orwell’s renowned 1984, there were four Ministries: Peace, Love, Truth and Plenty. The purview of the Ministry of Truth encompassed news, entertainment, education and the fine arts. It was responsible for replacing historical events with propaganda and relied on “Newspeak” language to reinforce that propaganda.
So when the Fairfax County School Board prepares to vote on a “Teach Truth Resolution of Support for Educators and School-Based Administrators,” grab a copy of 1984. Here is a link to the resolution: https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=CJXVUR827AD7
Note that the proposed document supports educators and administrators only. The essence of the document is to protect them from criticism while they go about implementing “necessary curricular improvements [that reflect] truth about historic and systemic injustice … and … as they develop and implement antiracist, equity- and justice-based classroom resources and pedagogy.” There you have it. Newspeak.
But just what defines systemic injustice, racism, anti-racism and equity? Surely you can tell by now that those undefined words are used as cudgels to force conformity of thought, attitude and speech. They also are used to foment anti-Semitism, especially in school settings.
Time is of the essence! Please contact School Board members before Thursday’s meeting and urge them to vote NO on the resolution. Don’t be fooled by the flowery language that pays homage to academic rigor and a caring, inclusive culture. This resolution is about silencing criticism of teaching that has less to do with academic rigor and more to do with political indoctrination.

The democraT AGENDA IS NOW FULL ON. COMMUNIST OR GLOBAL SOCIALIST?
I assume that the fools in the picture enacted this proposal…?
The public school system has evolved from education to indoctrination. Not only is D.I.E. The basis for its functioning, but it is now used to experiment on children via COVID vaccinations and the LGBTQ agenda. It cannot be salvaged.
oh good God………..
God has nothing to do with you morons, Martin.
Hate has no Home in Fairfax
And Martin has no brains
Fairfax ethnic profile says that it is now 27 percent ” Latino” and 19 percent Asian. Like many other things Dead white men… why do they need to learn about racial justice? I know… that old white patriarchy is still oppressin the POC.. What stupid world do crap eating liberals live in? The two near majority ethnicities have not been in the US for longer than the 1980s who live in Fairfax. Latinos and Asians…..
CHOSE TO IMMIGRATE HERE… the ones who live in Fairfax that is…within the past 40 years! Here is some history liberals…
Virginia was white or black until the 1980s.
Fairfax is not even within the top ten of the best performing systems anymore in the state.. so why the #$%^ do they have to rehash this shit over and over… All of these school board idiots… Maybe instead of your G damn virtue signaling you might teach reading and math.
Hate has No Home in Fairfax!!! AND NEITHER DOES INTELLIGENCE…
Parents are responsible for their children. What FCPS is proposing is very dangerous and is written from the 1984 playbook.
It goes much further back than 1984. The Romans used to take children as tribute. Hitler had youth indoctrinated. The communist and socialist ideologues today are focused n children who have no historical perspective and can be sold evil as good.
This school board is as racist and Leftist as can be. They are not at all interested in facts or children’s welfare, theirs is a purely Democrat Party agenda to take down the US by building racial animosities where none exist. This is evil in the purest sense.
