Fairfax County “Mama Bear” Asra Nomani recently joined WABC’s This Is America with Rich Valdes to discuss the increasing use of divisive, neo-Marxist critical race theory (CRT) in the nation’s schools. “There is a political machine that wants to control the schools and thus the kids,” Nomani said. “They have an agenda that is not in sync with the parents.”

Much of the conversation focused on the battle over merit versus race-based admissions to Fairfax County’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (“TJ”). Nomani recounted how “mostly Asian, mostly immigrant” TJ families were admonished by school officials to check their privileges.

“I know these parents,” Nomani said. “They have survived the Cultural Revolution, they have survived communism in Eastern Europe, they have survived economic injustice — all to come to America for the American Dream.”
