Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts joined WMAL’s Larry O’Connor Show, to discuss the ongoing controversies surrounding at-large school board member Abrar Omeish. “We’re talking about our kids here, and the people setting the curriculum to teach them,” Knotts said Tuesday on WMAL.

Knotts urged residents to “absolutely flood every email address of the school board now,” to share their concerns about Omeish’s decision to sow “hate and dissension” in our community. A list of board members’ official contact information follows:
