Will Fairfax County Public Schools protect Jewish students from antisemitism?
School Board only seem to be concerned with students’ and teachers’ “inherent biases” when they are against pre-approved groups. It seems thata 135% increase in such incidents at K-12 schools, totaling 1,162 incidents nationwide. There were 23 reported antisemitic incidents in Fairfax County in 2023.
In another incident last month, a Holocaust survivor came to speak to seventh-grade students at Cooper Middle School. In a move that is uncharacteristic for Fairfax County Public Schools, an administrator sent anto parents alerting them that the lecture was not mandatory and offering them the ability to opt their children out of the Holocaust history lesson.
After no investigation, I received word from a school administrator that despite the evidence provided, my claims were untrue. They did not explore the possibility that the teacher might have biases against white male students because they did not care. When the school emailed me their conclusions, I reached out to the school board to find out how to lodge a report of biases at the district level within their new, unconstitutional bias incident reporting system, which arguably violates the First Amendment.
