New Book Investigates the Decline of Fairfax County Public Schools

New Book Investigates the Decline of Fairfax County Public Schools

March 3, 2022 by admin in Education News

Luke Rosiak, the Fairfax-based reporter for the Daily Wire who broke the Loudoun bathroom rape story that helped swing the Virginia gubernatorial election, has authored a national book on the problems of K-12 schools, titled Race to the Bottom: Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying American Public Education.

Fairfax County Public Schools serve a recurring role in the book as poster child for all that is wrong with America’s K-12 establishment, from the marginalization of parents, the union-induced school closures, the politicization of curriculum, and the war on rigorous academics.

‘STRIKING’ NEW AD: Democrats, Teachers Unions Put Kids Last

‘STRIKING’ NEW AD: Democrats, Teachers Unions Put Kids Last

February 10, 2022 by admin in Education News

The State Government Leadership Foundation (SGLF) and N2 America launched “Childhood” — the third ad of a six-figure “Let Kids Learn” national ad campaign yesterday. The new television spot is airing in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington, D.C. on programs like Good Morning America and the View. 

The ad highlights the hypocrisy of liberal leaders who stand by as their teachers’ union benefactors keep kids out of the classroom and fully masked, robbing them of key childhood experiences and development.

Are “Rubber Rooms” Coming to Fairfax County Public Schools?

Are “Rubber Rooms” Coming to Fairfax County Public Schools?

October 2, 2021 by admin in Education News

For years New York City spent over $65 million annually to pay the salaries of hundreds of teachers to spend the day in “rubber rooms” passing the time doing anything from napping to playing cards. Protected by a union contract with the city, these teachers were sent to the “rubber rooms” while the process to remove them for alleged misconduct or poor performance stretched out for months to a decade. On October 5th the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on whether the County will open itself to the same situation…

Collective Bargaining: Warnings and Advice for Virginia Counties

Collective Bargaining: Warnings and Advice for Virginia Counties

June 10, 2021 by admin in News

Twenty-eight years after Governor Doug Wilder signed it into law, the Virginia General Assembly lifted the ban on public sector collective bargaining. As of May 1st, localities in Virginian could give government unions a monopoly to represent all employees at a particular worksite.

However, the law passed in Richmond is unique from other states as it sets virtually no guidelines on what government unions can bargain over and how they can be formed.

COOPER: CDC & NEA Colluded to Keep Schools Closed

COOPER: CDC & NEA Colluded to Keep Schools Closed

June 5, 2021 by admin in Education News

The CDC guidance that unions helped write despite their complete lack of expertise has led to children having severe emotional health issues, including depression, anxiety and suicide as well as physical health issues including nutrition and exercise. It is also clear that the students who live in districts that ignored both the CDC and teacher’s unions will have children who hold a significant academic advantage over children in large metropolitan areas for years to come.

Group Says Fairfax County Teachers Violated Virginia’s Anti-Striking Law with ‘Sick Out’

Group Says Fairfax County Teachers Violated Virginia’s Anti-Striking Law with ‘Sick Out’

December 30, 2020 by admin in Education News

A nonprofit organization that advocates for families is accusing Fairfax County teachers union officials of violating Virginia law that prohibits public-sector strikes when the union organized with hundreds of teachers to take a mental health sick day in October.

According to Virginia law, a public-sector employee is deemed to have terminated his or her employment if the employee refuses to perform his or her duties as a means to obstruct, impede or suspend an operation of the government employer in concert with two or more employees. The law states such a person will not be eligible for employment by a public agency for 12 months after the strike.

Educational Choice for Teachers

Educational Choice for Teachers

July 24, 2018 by Chris Smith in Education Fairfax County Republican Committee News

More and more parents are exercising choice in their selection of education for their children.  In North Carolina, removal of charter school caps, creation of vouchers, and expansion of programs for special needs children have resulted in almost 20% of school children enrolled in a school other than  public schools.  Public school enrollment has dropped over 5% since 2010 as an increasing number of parents are seeking alternatives to public education.

However, what about the teachers?  Teachers are limited in…
