Attorney General Miyares filed an amicus brief against the discriminatory and illegal admission process at Thomas Jefferson High School. The Attorney General is fighting against this unconstitutional policy because it unfairly punishes Asian American students due to their race.

The Office of the Attorney General will always fight for the equal protection and treatment of Virginians and therefore believes the Fairfax County School Board’s request to reinstate the discriminatory admission process should be denied.

For 20 years, county supervisors have been increasing real estate taxes three times faster than household income. Real estate taxes are the supervisors’ “Unaffordable Housing Program.”

In recent years, we have really seen the curtain pulled back on our government. Nationally, statewide, and locally, we have seen leftist politicians openly promote racism in our schools; cover up sexual assault; put criminals ahead of victims; and refuse to prosecute crime. They continually smear our great nation as inherently evil, founded on “white supremacy.”  Too often, the so-called “news” is nothing more than left-wing propaganda.

At the Fairfax GOP Convention held on March 26, 2022, Chairman Steve Knotts shared the following proclamation:

WHEREAS, Ms. Schultz additionally served for one year in the U.S. Department of Education as Deputy Director of the Office of Educational Technology

Gilbert K. Davis, a longtime resident of Northern Virginia and distinguished lawyer, died last month, following a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was 79.

In his role as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Mr. Davis’s cases included numerous “firsts,” including the first aircraft hijacking in America; the first case under the Clean Air Act; and the first case under the 1968 Gun Control Act. Decades later, he was involved in yet another “first,” when his client, Paula Corbin Jones, sued a sitting U.S. president over unwanted sexual conduct.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement as the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings begin:

“Americans will be watching this week as Joe Biden’s nominee must address unanswered questions regarding her radical record, praise of Critical Race Theory, and soft-on-crime sentencing. Ketanji Brown Jackson is the far-left activist judge that Joe Biden promised to nominate, and that out-of-touch agenda will be on full display for the American people this week.” 

Luke Rosiak, author of Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education, joined WMAL’s O’Connor & Company last week to discuss a variety of new developments on the K-12 education front. One topic discussed was Fairfax County Public Schools’ new “controversial issues” policy.

“For all of recent history, the controversial issues policy has been, if you’re going to teach issues, teach them with objectivity, fairness, accuracy, and relevance,” Rosiak explained. “Yesterday, the school board took a black marker and crossed out those words — ‘objectivity,’ ‘fairness,’ and ‘accuracy’

Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that he would send a bill to the General Assembly in the upcoming special session to suspend Virginia’s gas tax for 3 months. The Governor proposes using over $437 million in unanticipated transportation revenues to support the gas tax holiday. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics this week showed a 38.8% surge, year over year, in the gasoline index, and inflation on all items is at a 40-year high. 

“These rising gas prices are hurting Virginians, and we need to do something about it,” Governor Youngkin said.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is blasting Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano’s “criminal first, victim last” record. On Wednesday’s O’Connor & Company radio show, Miyares called Descano a “hopelessly naive,” “wannabe prosecutor” who is “failing” to do his job.

The attorney general’s blistering comments followed Tuesday’s arrest of Gerald Brevard, who is alleged to have shot a number of homeless men in DC and New York.

Governor Glenn Youngkin offered the following statement on the General Assembly’s adjournment:

“I’m encouraged with the recent progress on the budget and I’m grateful to the members on both sides of the aisle for their efforts. We need to finalize tax relief, lab schools, and other bipartisan priorities including investing in education, funding law enforcement, and addressing our behavioral health crisis, among others.

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”).
