Days after the twentieth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Maryland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release claiming that a teacher ordered a Muslim student to explain to the class who was behind the attacks, leading the class to chant &#8220;you&#8217;re Muslim like them.&#8221;
The incident lead to him being &#8220;reduced to tears,&#8221; &#8220;fleeing the classroom,&#8221; and refusing to wear his Muslim prayer cap, and his mother saying &#8220;my Muslim kids are going to listen to these things all their life,&#8221; CAIR <a href="https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-condemns-9-11-related-bullying-of-maryland-muslim-student-calls-on-howard-county-schools-superintendent-board-to-investigate-and-take-appropriate-action/">said</a>.
It was an example, the group said, of why schools should follow its &#8220;school resource guide to help educators teach about 9/11 in a culturally appropriate way.&#8221;
But the Howard County school system said CAIR&#8217;s allegation contained inaccuracies and misrepresentations and that CAIR refused to &#8220;commit to a correction.&#8221;
Superintendent Michael Martirano, a strong backer of racial &#8220;equity&#8221; programs, lashed out at the group in a memo obtained by The Daily Wire.
&#8220;We learned of a September 14, 2021, CAIR Press Release alleging 9/11 related bullying at Veterans Elementary School,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Prior to the press release, there was no notification of any bullying allegations at VES&#8230; The Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) contacted CAIR to get additional information related to the press release so HCPSS could investigate the actions noted in the release,&#8221; but it did not immediately call the school system back.
So the principal called every teacher. One fifth-grade teacher &#8220;shared an exchange that occurred during a discussion and a student asking to leave to go to the restroom.&#8221; The principal called the parent of the student, and the parent said that one student said &#8220;you are a Muslim like them&#8221; and then apologized to her son without any prompting. The parent said she and her son never told the teacher or anyone at the school.
Even by the parent&#8217;s account, CAIR&#8217;s version of her story was not true, Martirano wrote. &#8220;While the parent confirmed speaking to a CAIR representative, the CAIR 9/11 press release includes misrepresentations.&#8221;
&#8220;We scheduled a conference with CAIR this morning to discuss the inaccuracies, and CAIR offered to issue a follow-up press release regarding the HCPSS response, but would not commit to a correction of the misrepresentations,&#8221; he wrote.
CAIR&#8217;s Maryland office did not immediately return a request for comment from The Daily Wire. It has not issued any new press release on the incident.
Howard County is a Democrat-leaning county outside of D.C. Its county Office of Human Rights &amp; Equity abruptly canceled a play it planned for 9/11 after seemingly booking the play without reading it.
The play actually mocks the naivete of a white liberal woman and ends with her being beaten by her Arab husband, who said he felt &#8220;pride&#8221; when the World Trade Center fell. It ends with his nephew saying America &#8220;deserved what it got,&#8221; and with the call that “They’ve conquered the world. We’re gonna get it back. That’s our destiny. It’s in the Quran&#8230; For three hundred years they’ve been taking our land, drawing new borders, replacing our laws, making us want to be like them. Look like them. Marry their women. They disgraced us. They disgraced us. And then they pretend they don’t understand the rage we’ve got?&#8221;

School System Says CAIR Refuses To Correct ‘Misrepresentations’ About Claimed 9/11 Bullying

9/11

Education

Maryland

Some sixty people are still behind bars eight months after the January 6 disturbance at the U.S. Capitol. A Daily Wire review of court records shows unusually aggressive prosecutorial maneuvers, which sometimes brought rebukes by judges.
For example, Jose Padilla has been detained since February. &#8220;Padilla is 40 years old and has lived in Tennessee for most of his life. He previously served in the U.S. Army during the Iraq War. After he returned home, he was diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (‘PTSD’) and began receiving disability benefits. Prior to his arrest, he was a stay-at-home dad who managed his family’s household affairs and cared for his three sons during the day while his wife worked as a librarian. He has no criminal history or history of substance abuse. He also has no known ties to extremist groups,&#8221; Judge John D. Bates <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59736257/24/united-states-v-padilla/">summarized</a>.
Prosecutors argued that his being a stay-at-home dad and veteran were reasons to hold him in jail.
The judge wrote that &#8220;the government contended that two features of Padilla’s background favor pretrial detention: (1) his role as a stay-at-home dad, which, according to the government, gives him &#8216;idle time to . . . engage in conspiracy theories&#8217; and &#8216;[run] down rabbit holes through social media.&#8217; The Court cannot accept the proposition that stay-at-home parents pose a greater threat to public safety. And although the Court agrees with Judge Faruqui’s statement that, as a former service member, Padilla had every reason to know that ‘what occurred on January 6th was totally unacceptable,’ the fact of military service is complicated and can cut both ways.&#8221;
The government also argued that his military service-induced PTSD was a reason to hold him, an assertion that the judge sharply rebutted — pointing out that if the government believed he was a suicide risk, it had done little to ensure he got help in jail.
&#8220;The government’s assertion that Padilla’s ‘mental health conditions’ evince a risk of flight is unsubstantiated by the current record. Although Padilla was diagnosed with PTSD following his military service, he has been ‘actively engaged in treatment with a V.A. provider,’ and no other specifics about his mental health status have been provided to the Court,” the judge wrote. “The government also posits that Padilla had suicidal ideations in 2018—a fact that he sharply disputes. But even if that is true, the government admits that he is ‘not currently having suicidal thoughts.’ Nor has the government taken any steps—such as requesting that he receive mental health services in prison or be placed on suicide watch—that would suggest this is a real concern for the government.&#8221;
Some of the cases involve physical assaults, while in other cases, the charges are minor. But in most cases, prosecutors’ efforts have been aggressive.
Ryan Samsel, who allegedly pushed a bike rack that was serving as a barricade, purportedly causing it to strike a police officer, was arrested on January 30 and held for seven months without being indicted or having a preliminary hearing, according to court records. He was finally indicted on August 25. By then, he had been held in solitary confinement at a D.C. jail and been beaten. He is now being held in the Central Virginia Regional Jail.
On September 11, his lawyer wrote, &#8220;He has been detained since and spent substantial time enduring the torture of solitary confinement&#8230; On or about March 21, 2021, Mr. Samsel was viciously assaulted while in the custody of the District of Columbia Department of Corrections, and while detained in &#8216;administrative segregation&#8217;—the latest euphemism for solitary confinement. He was taken to Howard University Hospital the next day, on March 22, 2021, where he was admitted and treated for injuries including&#8230; bilateral nasal bone fracture&#8230; as a result of the brutal assault, Mr. Samsel lost vision in his right eye&#8230;. CVRJ Medical Records make clear that medical orders and referrals have been ignored.&#8221;
On January 11, another defendant, Jeffrey Sabor, was pulled over in New York &#8220;covered in blood” from an alleged suicide attempt. He said &#8220;I am tired, I am done fighting,&#8221; according to prosecutors.
&#8220;On January 12, 2021, law enforcement officers spoke with SABOL while he was recovering at the Westchester Medical Center. SABOL advised that on January 6, 2021, he was at the U.S. Capitol.&#8221;
On August 4, a superseding indictment added on more charges to Sabor&#8217;s case, charging that he used &#8220;a deadly or dangerous weapon, that is, a baton, flag pole, and crutch, did forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with, an officer and employee of the United States.&#8221;
Douglas Jensen, who allegedly had a knife at the Capitol, was released from jail, then sent back for violating his terms of release when he was found using a &#8220;WiFi-connected <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/33346165/34/united-states-v-jensen/">iPhone</a> to stream news from Rumble.&#8221;
In another case, a judge chided prosecutors for apparent unconcern about the rights of the media.
&#8220;On August 19, 2021, the Court issued an arrest warrant for Jonathon Owen Shroyer (a/k/a Jonathan Owen Shroyer), ‘a Texas-based talk-show host associated with the website Infowars.’ The Department of Justice has recently updated its policies on the investigation of media members, noting the importance of a free press to a vibrant democracy. As part of its review, the Court inquired if the Department of Justice had complied with 28 C.F.R. § 50.10, (‘Policy regarding obtaining information from, or records of, members of the news media’). The Department refused to provide an answer on the record,&#8221; Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/60225808/3/united-states-v-shroyer/">wrote</a>.

Eight Months After January 6, Prosecutors Make Aggressive Maneuvers As Defendant Attempts Suicide, Another Beaten In Jail

Capitol Riot

Immediately after winning a recall election, California Governor Gavin Newsom <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/riding-post-recall-mandate-newsom-bans-most-single-family-only-zoning-in-california">signed legislation</a> that would effectively turn suburbs into cities by forcing towns to allow lots to be subdivided so that lawns were as small as four feet.
It is a move widely detested by suburban voters; last month, The New York Times said lawmakers feared &#8220;angering suburban voters, whose preferences for single-family home living have been regarded as politically sacrosanct.&#8221;
The Times said SB 9 &#8220;was furiously opposed by homeowners and local government groups who said it &#8216;crushes single-family zoning&#8217; and would be &#8216;the beginning of the end of homeownership in California.'&#8221;
But Newsom’s office said the move was supported by the Biden administration, raising the prospect of the Californication of America, with similar laws at the national level during Biden&#8217;s term.
&#8220;The Governor today signed California State Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins’ SB 9, the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, which the White House this month commended to increase housing supply,&#8221; the governor&#8217;s office <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/09/16/governor-newsom-signs-historic-legislation-to-boost-californias-housing-supply-and-fight-the-housing-crisis/">said</a> in a statement.
Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://joebiden.com/housing/">campaign housing plan</a> says he wants to make a bill with the same name and similar effect, Sen. Cory Booker&#8217;s HOME Act, national law. That bill would withhold federal transportation dollars from any town or county that requires minimum lot sizes or doesn&#8217;t permit apartments to be built amidst single-family homes.

Every town in America would then start looking more like cities, full of condos and apartments rather than spacious single-family homes &#8212; even as the stated reasons for the move are falling apart.
Newsom <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/09/16/governor-newsom-signs-historic-legislation-to-boost-californias-housing-supply-and-fight-the-housing-crisis/">said</a> in a statement that the bill &#8220;will help address the interrelated problems of climate change and housing affordability by promoting denser housing closer to major employment hubs – a critical element in limiting California’s greenhouse gas emissions.&#8221;
But the coronavirus pandemic has led to many white-collar employees working from home, negatively impacting the environmental argument that dense housing reduces commuting.
The reason single-family house neighborhoods exist in the first place is because most Americans, including those who are white, black, and Hispanic, want to live that way.
A new <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/09/14/new-nationwide-poll-says-more-americans-prefer-live-suburbs-instead-cities/">poll</a> from the Pew Research Center found that &#8220;six-in-ten U.S. adults say they would prefer to live in a community with larger homes with greater distances to retail stores and schools (up 7 percentage points since 2019), while 39% say they prefer a community with smaller houses that are closer together with schools, stores and restaurants within walking distance (down 8 points since 2019).&#8221;
Americans&#8217; preference for living in the opposite way that the Democratic proposals require is so strong that the Wall Street Journal recently reported that &#8220;sleepy southeastern towns&#8221; are turning into &#8220;booming exurbs&#8221; as people flee cities for more space, not less.
Under California&#8217;s new law, towns cannot require homes to have a driveway that can fit more than one car, a policy designed to push people to use mass transit — though it is unclear how the typical American with children could do common activities, like taking a trip to Costco with their kids, using mass transit.
California&#8217;s bill was also marketed as addressing homelessness and housing affordability. But an official from Minneapolis, which was among the first to abolish single-family zoning, recently wrote to Californians saying that it <a href="https://myburbank.com/guest-column-looking-at-minnesota-should-give-california-pause-in-new-housing-bills/">hasn&#8217;t worked</a> there, but instead simply set off a boon for real estate developers.
Prior to the election, Newsom refused to say whether he would sign or veto the laws — giving him an advantage with suburban voters who may find that the new law significantly changes the quiet neighborhoods they chose. With voters rubber-stamping Newsom&#8217;s control in the September 14 recall election, that sanctity is now apparently less important in California.
But the same cannot be said about Democrats&#8217; and Biden&#8217;s prospects nationwide, where the party cannot win without the support of suburban voters — as well as minorities who fear that increased density amounts to gentrifying their neighborhoods to enrich developers.
California&#8217;s <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB9">SB 9</a> overrides towns&#8217; control of their zoning and forces towns to permit, with no hearings, suburban lots to be split in two, even if the resulting lots were as small as 1,200 square feet. Towns cannot preserve a certain feel by requiring yards of a certain size; the maximum required yard size for side and rear &#8220;setbacks&#8221; is four feet.
Further, each of the subdivided lots could have two units (such as a duplex) on them, resulting in four families living in what is now one suburban yard. This applies to all suburban neighborhoods that were formerly zoned only for single-family homes. The property owner would have to sign an affidavit saying he intended to live in one of the units for three years.
A group called <a href="https://www.livablecalifornia.org/act-to-oppose-sb-9-and-sb-10/">Livable California</a> called SB 9 &#8220;a luxury housing [bill] that destroys your neighborhood.&#8221;

Newsom Office Said Biden Supported His Move Abolishing Suburbs In California. Could The U.S. Be Next?

California

A far-left prosecutor thwarted parents&#8217; efforts to recall a school board member without disclosing major conflicts of interest, a court filing charges.
Parents in Fairfax County, Virginia collected 5,100 signatures, meeting the threshold for hauling school board member Elaine Tholen into court for alleged neglect of duty, in part for keeping schools closed for a year. Under Virginia rules, it then falls to a prosecutor to argue before a judge that the elected official should be removed.
Steve Descano, Fairfax County&#8217;s elected prosecutor, recused himself citing conflicts of interest, including that he himself is facing a recall. However, unlike a true recusal, he selected his own replacement: Jim Hingeley, the prosecutor in Albermarle County across the state, with whom Descano founded the Virginia Progressive Prosecutors for Justice last year. Both men attained office with help from billionaire George Soros and have coordinated to use prosecutors&#8217; offices to bring far-left policies to Virginia.
Hingeley simply dropped the case, declining to pursue taxpayers&#8217; petition. But the lawyer had conflicts of interest more brazen than Descano&#8217;s, and unlike Descano, he hid them from the judge, a group behind the recall alleged.
Tholen ran for school board with the backing of the teachers&#8217; union, and alongside the rest of the all-Democrat board, kept schools closed for nearly an entire year, consistent with teachers&#8217; demands. That led to demands for a recall from parents calling themselves the Open FCPS Coalition.
But Fairfax did let kids go to school — if they paid extra. A program called &#8220;Support Returning to School&#8221; let kids sit in school buildings if their parents paid up to $1,472 per child per month. Hingeley&#8217;s wife, Rachel Flynn, was deputy county executive of Fairfax County and was involved in that program, according to the group&#8217;s filing, which asks a judge to allow the petitioners to appoint a private prosecutor to argue their case.
&#8220;Ms. Flynn was involved in the creation, operation, and oversight of the SRS Program that allowed able children to enter the school buildings this past year, for a fee, while special education children were left at home behind a screen because the buildings were deemed unsafe for their occupancy by the school board, including Ms. Tholen. If Mr. Hingeley chose to prosecute this case, his wife’s decisions in operating the SRS Program would likely come into question and could affect her employment. This creates a financial incentive for Mr. Hingeley to not prosecute the case,&#8221; the motion said.
In addition, Hingeley was also a school board member in the 1980s and faced demands for his removal from that position. He also &#8220;campaigned alongside&#8221; Tholen during their 2019 elections, even sharing the stage at least one Democratic event, the motion said.
Hingely misled parents into thinking he would try their case, it said.
&#8220;On August 11, Mr. Hingeley met with some of the parents who had painstakingly collected all those signatures. He assured them he would take this matter seriously and asked that they collect materials for him to review and use at trial. Those parents went back and scoured their emails, looked for documents, interviewed witnesses, collected multitudes of valuable information to present to Mr. Hingeley, but it was all for naught. He never reviewed the materials. He never wanted them.&#8221;
&#8220;On August 20, 2021, Mr. Hingeley stood before this Court and moved to dismiss the case. He claimed that he had conducted his own investigation and determined the case did not have merit, but that was a farce. Mr. Hingeley’s role was to kill this litigation before it even started.&#8221;
&#8220;Before the Court is a textbook case of prosecutorial bias,&#8221; the motion said. &#8220;The Court lacked critical information needed to decide the motion that was explicitly withheld by Mr. Descano and Mr. Hingeley. It was unethical for Mr. Hingeley to represent the Commonwealth due to numerous, explicit biases, and he should have recused himself.&#8221;
Hingeley did not return a request for comment from The Daily Wire.
According to the American Bar Association, the motion says, &#8220;In situations where &#8216;partisan or political or personal considerations&#8217; are such that it can affect a prosecutor’s impartially, the prosecutor is ethically obligated to recuse himself.&#8221;
That includes &#8220;implicit bias,&#8221; which both prosecutors have claimed plays a large role in the criminal justice system.
In 2019, Descano narrowly unseated a Democrat incumbent in the primary after receiving $400,000 in help from George Soros&#8217; political action committee, the Justice &amp; Safety PAC — nearly twice the amount the incumbent, Ray Morrogh, raised in total.
Morrogh quit the party as a result, saying Descano was not a traditional Democrat but a far-left radical. Descano 
“is completely unqualified for the office of commonwealth attorney,” he said in a video. “The only case he tried, he disgraced himself when the judge reversed the conviction because [he] lied in closing argument. This man is not fit to hold office in Fairfax County.”
Soros&#8217; PAC also backed Hingeley, who has a similar worldview.
Next month, a similar situation will play out in Loudoun County, which borders Fairfax. Beth Barts, who is facing recall in part for her involvement in a secret Facebook group whose members threatened to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-teachers-target-parents-critical-race-theory-hacking">&#8220;hack&#8221; parents</a> and which a sheriff&#8217;s investigation found targeted those who wanted schools open, has prosecution fall to commonwealth attorney Buta Biberaj — herself a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-anti-racists-targeting-children-buta-biberaj">member of that Facebook group.</a> Biberaj narrowly unseated a Republican incumbent in 2019 after Soros spent an unprecedented $845,000 on her behalf. The incumbent raised $113,000.
It remains to be seen whether parents will get to choose their own prosecutor for that case, or whether Biberaj will take it herself or choose her own replacement.

Prosecutor Hid Conflict Of Interest While Thwarting School Board Recall, Parents Allege

Virginia

An ex-U.S. military member who hacked computers for the government of the United Arab Emirates received a &#8220;deferred prosecution&#8221; agreement that let him escape a criminal conviction in exchange for paying a fine of $335,000, the Department of Justice announced Tuesday.
But that penalty likely will amount to no pain at all for Daniel Gericke: Gericke is the chief information officer for ExpressVPN, a computer privacy company that announced the same day that it was sold as part of a nearly $1 billion deal.
CNET reported that on Tuesday, ExpressVPN announced that it had been sold to Kape Technologies for $936 million.
Kape was &#8220;co-founded by an ex-Israeli surveillance agent and a billionaire previously convicted of insider trading&#8221; and was previously an adware company called CrossRider, <a href="https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/expressvpn-cio-among-three-facing-1-6-million-doj-fine-project-raven/">CNET</a> reported.
ExpressVPN told the publication: &#8220;We&#8217;ve known the key facts relating to Daniel&#8217;s employment history since before we hired him, as he disclosed them proactively and transparently with us from the start. In fact, it was his history and expertise that made him an invaluable hire for our mission to protect users&#8217; privacy and security.&#8221;
The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-allows-former-intel-military-who-hacked-for-foreign-country-to-pay-to-escape-prosecution">reported</a> that two former members of U.S. intelligence agencies, Marc Baier and Ryan Adams, and Gericke, a former military member who has since renounced his U.S. citizenship, received an unusual deal from U.S. prosecutors. The agreement would result in them not receiving criminal convictions if they paid a fine and met other conditions, despite a remarkable betrayal of national trust.
The men worked for a UAE-based company that “carried out computer network exploitation” for the benefit of the UAE government between 2016 and 2019, including sophisticated “zero-click” hacking that could “compromise a device without any action by the target.” These hacks were used to break into computers and phones around the world, including within the U.S., and to gain passwords from U.S. companies, the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/three-former-us-intelligence-community-and-military-personnel-agree-pay-more-168-million">DOJ said</a> Tuesday.
The deal was announced by Mark J. Lesko, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division. He said in a press release that the money-instead-of-prison agreement is “the first-of-its-kind resolution of an investigation into two distinct types of criminal activity: providing unlicensed export-controlled defense services in support of computer network exploitation, and a commercial company creating, supporting and operating systems specifically designed to allow others to access data without authorization from computers worldwide, including in the United States.”
“Hackers-for-hire and those who otherwise support such activities in violation of U.S. law should fully expect to be prosecuted for their criminal conduct,” he said, even though the men were not prosecuted.
Baier must pay $750,000 and Adams $600,000 — despite years of working on behalf of the oil-rich foreign nation. But Gericke&#8217;s fine is particularly unlikely to form any sort of deterrent since the VPN deal was so lucrative.
The business deal will <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210913005652/en/ExpressVPN-to-Join-Kape-Technologies-with-Shared-Vision-to-Transform-Privacy-and-Security">include</a> &#8220;Establishing the ExpressVPN Digital Security Lab, an independent research arm which conducts high-quality, original research to empower consumers with information about digital rights.&#8221;
ExpressVPN will remain headquartered in the British Virgin Islands. VPNs serve as a middleman to prevent websites or governments from identifying who visited certain sites.

The handling of Afghan migrants in northern Virginia is getting even more chaotic, with migrants housed in — then abruptly moved from — an abandoned Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods in a shopping mall, and residents of the area potentially exposed to measles.
The Virginia Department of Health <a href="https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/news/2020-regional-news-releases/virginia-health-officials-investigating-potential-measles-exposures-in-northern-virginia/">said</a> that people who went to Dulles Airport, StoneSprings Hospital, Inova Children&#8217;s Hospital in Falls Church, the Dulles Expo Center, or the Crowne Plaza hotel in Herndon earlier this month could have been exposed.
Five Afghan migrants were <a href="https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/news/2021-news-releases/virginia-health-officials-report-measles-cases-in-central-and-northern-health-regions-most-u-s-residents-receive-measles-vaccinations-during-childhood/">diagnosed</a> with measles in northern Virginia as well as in Richmond and at an Army National Guard installation called Fort Pickett in Nottoway County. Most Americans are vaccinated against measles, but it is a &#8220;highly contagious illness&#8221; that causes a rash to &#8220;appear on the face and spreads over the entire body,&#8221; the health department said.
After the federal government brought planeloads of Afghan migrants to just outside the nation&#8217;s capital, it has fallen to local governments to shoulder some of the burdens, with local officials saying they cannot get information or support from the Biden administration.
Some migrants were being kept at a former Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods at a shopping mall in the Fair Lakes area. The store is attached to a Dave and Busters arcade, an ice cream shop, and a children&#8217;s science lab.
On Tuesday afternoon, the former sporting goods store was surrounded by a high chain-link fence, including black fabric obscuring visibility up to about five feet. White trucks were pulling up to a loading dock, according to materials obtained by The Daily Wire.

A woman sitting on a folding chair out front said she worked for a Department of Defense subcontractor and that the migrants had been moved and that the facility was being shut down.
&#8220;Today I believe will be the last day that we&#8217;re doing it because everything&#8217;s getting shut down, so it should go back to whoever just owns the store,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if the county, I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;re working with [DoD], but I&#8217;m not sure exactly how they have that situated.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.fairfaxtimes.com/articles/fairfax_county/afghan-refugees-settle-into-fairfax-county/article_d7cadd8c-1199-11ec-bb71-87c839281b4c.html">Fairfax Times</a> reported September 10 that &#8220;while originally it seemed many refugees were just stopping for a layover in Fairfax County before heading to military bases in other states, it seems that more Afghans than originally thought will be staying and integrating into the county.&#8221;
Pat Herrity, a member of the county&#8217;s board of supervisors, told the paper, “I do not know how many refugees are going to be going into the schools and the county, but I am looking for and have been trying to get that information&#8230; The real problem is the lack of information from the federal government about this topic. It is a federal government project.”
Fairfax County has spent at least $300,000 tracking and transporting Afghans to hospitals, and at one hospital Americans were being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americans-turned-away-from-hospital-as-afghan-refugees-take-priority">turned away</a> because it was so crowded with Afghans.
County Executive Bryan Hill told The Washington Post “It’s been very difficult to even get with the federal government on what the next steps are.”

Three former members of the American intelligence or military forces who later were paid to hack computers for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will not be criminally prosecuted after the U.S. Department of Justice granted a &#8220;deferred prosecution agreement&#8221; that has them pay $1,685,000 &#8220;to resolve a Department of Justice investigation regarding violations of U.S. export control, computer fraud and access device fraud laws.&#8221;
Marc Baier, Ryan Adams, and Daniel Gericke worked for a UAE-based company that &#8220;carried out computer network exploitation&#8221; for the benefit of the UAE government between 2016 and 2019, including sophisticated &#8220;zero-click&#8221; hacking that could &#8220;compromise a device without any action by the target.&#8221; These hacks were used to break into computers and phones around the world, including within the U.S., and to gain passwords from U.S. companies, the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/three-former-us-intelligence-community-and-military-personnel-agree-pay-more-168-million">DOJ said</a> Tuesday.
They did so despite being repeatedly informed that such work required approval from the State Department under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the department said.
Mark J. Lesko, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division, said in a press release that the money-instead-of-prison deal is “the first-of-its-kind resolution of an investigation into two distinct types of criminal activity: providing unlicensed export-controlled defense services in support of computer network exploitation, and a commercial company creating, supporting and operating systems specifically designed to allow others to access data without authorization from computers worldwide, including in the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;Hackers-for-hire and those who otherwise support such activities in violation of U.S. law should fully expect to be prosecuted for their criminal conduct,&#8221; he said, even though the men were not prosecuted.
Acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. Channing D. Phillips indicated that the men were not given favorable treatment because of their connections to national security entities — which work closely with prosecutors such as Lesko — saying, &#8220;A U.S. person’s status as a former U.S. government employee certainly does not provide them with a free pass in that regard.”
The department described Gericke as a &#8220;former U.S. citizen.&#8221;
The deal says:
<blockquote>
Under the terms of the DPA, Baier, Adams and Gericke agreed to pay $750,000, $600,000, and $335,000 respectively, over a three-year term, which they may not be reimbursed for without the express approval of the U.S. government. In addition to the financial penalties, as part of the DPA, the defendants agreed to full cooperation with the relevant Department and FBI components; the immediate relinquishment of any foreign or U.S. security clearances; a lifetime ban on future U.S. security clearances; and certain future employment restrictions, including a prohibition on employment that involves CNE activity or exporting defense articles or providing defense services under the ITAR (e.g., CNE techniques), and restrictions on employment for certain U.A.E. organizations.
</blockquote>
In 2019, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-spying-raven/">Reuters</a> detailed the &#8220;Secret Hacking Team of American Mercenaries&#8221; called Project Raven, which &#8220;utilized a powerful new hacking tool called Karma, which allowed operatives to break into the iPhones of users around the world.&#8221;
The same year, The <a href="https://theintercept.com/2019/06/12/darkmatter-uae-hack-intercept/">Intercept</a> said the firm DarkMatter discussed targeting one of its journalists.

DOJ Allows Former Intel, Military Who Hacked For Foreign Country To Pay To Escape Prosecution

Hackers

National Intelligence

A new analysis by the Congressional Research Service, Congress’ nonpartisan research arm, suggests that President Joe Biden’s intention to require all workers at companies with at least 100 employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19 might not pass legal muster.
On September 9, Biden said that he would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-vax-mandate-in-chaos-osha-underfunded-and-toothless-employers-worried-about-millions-of-dollars-in-testing-cost">use</a> the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s jurisdiction over workforce safety to require some 80 million workers to get vaccinated against coronavirus or undergo weekly testing. To get around the fact that enacting an OSHA rule typically takes four to seven years, it will use emergency authority known as Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS).
&#8220;OSHA may promulgate an ETS without supplying any notice or opportunity for public comment or public hearings. An ETS is immediately effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Upon promulgation of an ETS, OSHA is required to begin the full rulemaking process for a permanent standard with the ETS serving as the proposed standard for this rulemaking. An ETS is valid until superseded by a permanent standard, which OSHA must promulgate within six months of publishing the ETS in the Federal Register,&#8221; CRS&#8217;s <a href="https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/download/R/R46288/R46288.pdf/">report</a> said.
Using emergency authority requires that &#8220;employees are exposed to grave danger&#8221; and that &#8220;such emergency standard is necessary to protect employees from such danger.&#8221;
&#8220;The term grave danger, used in the first mandatory determination for an ETS, is not defined in statute or regulation. The legislative history demonstrates the intent of Congress that the ETS process &#8216;not be utilized to circumvent the regular standard-setting process,&#8217; but the history is unclear as to how Congress intended the term grave danger to be defined,&#8221; CRS said.
OSHA has resorted to emergency rules only &#8220;sparingly,&#8221; but in the few cases it has used them, the agency’s moves have not stood up well against court scrutiny. Prior to coronavirus, OSHA issued an ETS only nine times, and courts fully overturned four, and partially vacated a fifth.
In 1984, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit invalidated a 1983 rule on asbestos exposure, saying, &#8220;OSHA did not provide sufficient support for its claim that 80 workers would ultimately die because of exposures to asbestos during the six-month life of the ETS.&#8221;
It is not enough to show that coronavirus can be deadly: the second prong, that the measures are &#8220;necessary to protect employees,&#8221; requires showing that the measures would meaningfully alter outcomes from workplace-related exposure. In the asbestos case, the court &#8220;dismissed OSHA&#8217;s argument that the ETS was necessary,&#8221; saying that even though asbestos was dangerous, other rules already required respirator use that would have a similar effect. In this case, the government might have to prove that vaccinated employees still face &#8220;grave&#8221; danger, even though they are vaccinated.
In the 1984 asbestos case, the court also indicated that OSHA was using an emergency rule to try to avoid legal scrutiny, writing that &#8220;fear of a successful judicial challenge to enforcement of OSHA’s permanent standard regarding respirator use hardly justifies resort to the most dramatic weapon in OSHA&#8217;s enforcement arsenal.&#8221;
Until this year, OSHA had not issued an ETS since. In 2006 it considered one over a fake butter chemical that was causing &#8220;popcorn lung&#8221; in food workers, but determined it likely could not meet the &#8220;necessity requirement&#8221; since most people were already taking steps to ameliorate the problem on their own — in that case, manufacturers removing the compound from their products.
ETS rules are only supposed to last six months. But the problem is that there is no reason to think any permanent OSHA rule can be passed during that time period. Of the four previous ETS rules that were not overturned by courts, a permanent replacement was issued within or shortly after the six-month period, but these were all before 1980. Since then, red tape has swelled to the point where this is no longer likely.
The courts have never ruled on whether an emergency rule can be extended beyond six months, though one 1974 court ruling provides some support for the idea.
Another problem is whether a permanent rule can be justified at all. Since any rule must be &#8220;necessary&#8221; to protect workers from grave danger, a permanent mandate may not be appropriate since the coronavirus pandemic will presumably end. A similar rule promulgated by the state of Virginia is vague about its sunset provisions.
The Daily Wire, which employs more than 100 people, has said it will <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shapiro-on-fox-daily-wire-staffing-up-to-fight-bidens-tyrannical-and-authoritarian-order">fight</a> the employer vaccine mandate, even though its co-founders are vaccinated and encourage others to get vaccinated voluntarily.
The law says, CRS noted, that &#8220;any person who is ‘adversely affected’ by a standard may file, within 60 days of its promulgation, a petition challenging the standard with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the person lives or maintains his or her principal place of business. A petition for judicial review does not automatically stay the implementation or enforcement of the standard. However, the court may order such a stay. OSHA estimates that post-promulgation activities, including judicial review, can take between four and 12 months after the standard is promulgated.&#8221;
The Biden administration&#8217;s OSHA previously used an ETS, issued on June 21, 2021, that &#8220;requires health care employers to develop COVID-19 plans and protect employees from COVID-19 exposure through health screenings, personal protective equipment (PPE), building ventilation, and physical distancing and barriers. The ETS requires healthcare employers to remove any employees with COVID-19 from the workplace while providing them with certain benefits. Health care employers are not required to mandate that their employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine but must provide reasonable time off for employees to receive a vaccine and recover from any vaccine-related side effects.&#8221;
CRS said in that rule, OSHA argued that &#8220;the development, availability, and overall success of the COVID-19 vaccines in the United States do not obviate the need for an ETS but rather serve as evidence of the need for an ETS. OSHA states that it has a statutory responsibility to protect all workers, including those who are unvaccinated, regardless of the reason for those workers’ vaccine refusals. OSHA claims that the ETS encourages vaccination among health care workers, as many as 25% of whom may not be fully vaccinated, by exempting fully vaccinated workers from certain requirements in the ETS.&#8221;

Congressional Research Service Raises Questions About OSHA Vaccine Mandate’s Legality

Coronavirus

Vaccine Mandate

Federal authorities arrested at least fifteen more people on charges related to the January 6 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-still-hunting-for-hundreds-six-months-after-capitol-riot">Capitol disturbance</a> in August, with charges as minor as trespassing continuing to accrue eight months after the event thanks to tips from internet sleuths, social media &#8220;friends,&#8221; and even family members, a Daily Wire analysis of court records showed.
The participants do not always fit in the popular mold of Trump cap-wearing, old white hillbillies.
Uliyahu Ben&#8217;Arie Hayah was &#8220;a black male with facial hair, wearing a dark-colored head covering, gray-colored long-sleeve outer garment, camouflage-pattern backpack on his chest, and an OD Green duffle bag,&#8221; according to court papers, which say he pushed an officer &#8220;back approximately ten feet into the crowd where the confrontation was occurring.&#8221;
&#8220;Law enforcement records also indicated that Hayah is a parolee supervised by a parole officer from the Virginia Department of Corrections in Fairfax County, Virginia following a criminal conviction in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County,&#8221; prosecutors said.
The FBI identified him, and other January 6 defendants, through tips from an online group called “Sedition Hunters” that reviewed images and videos from the day and combined them with Facebook profiles and other public sources.
In a video taken from the scene, Hayah complained of police brutality. &#8220;Some of those officers in there are decent officers. They did not want a physical confrontation but there are some officers in there that are evil […] they shot a woman from another side of the glass&#8230; They maced but I had a gas mask on.”
Philip Young of New Jersey was identified because his jacket showed the name of his labor union, the Boilermakers Union Local 28. He was charged on July 28.
Authorities conducted an exhaustive search for participants in the disturbance, including obtaining records from Google, Snapchat, Apple, Facebook, banks, and phone companies.
But many of the belated arrests were the result of alleged participants being identified and turned in to the FBI by internet sleuths.
Blas Santillan of Georgia, who was arrested on August 23, was turned in by a former high school classmate who saw a Snapchat video on the phone of a mutual acquaintance.
Joseph Irwin is a retired police officer from Kentucky. After an anonymous internet tipster told the FBI his name, a lieutenant on the police force confirmed to the Bureau that Irwin told him he &#8220;was on his way to meet up with friends at a march.&#8221; He was arrested on August 17.
Benjamin Scott Burlew of Oklahoma was arrested on August 19 for allegedly &#8220;physically grabbing and shoving [an Associated Press photographer] and pushing him forcefully over a low wall.&#8221; A tip was submitted to the FBI “by a group of internet sleuths (collectively, CW-1) performing open-source research utilizing social media and content posted on various online channels, including YouTube, in an attempt to identify BOLO offenders posted on the FBI&#8217;s Capitol Violence Webpage&#8230; CW-1 has previously provided assistance to the FBI in connection with the Capitol riots investigation,&#8221; prosecutors said.
Kelsey Wilson of Missouri was arrested after a Facebook friend of her husband corresponded with the FBI, and the FBI matched her and her husband Zach up with surveillance video in which they &#8220;can be seen walking about the Rotunda amongst several other unknown individuals. Z. WILSON and KELSEY WILSON did not appear to be mingling or congregating with any other individuals.&#8221;
&#8220;Your affiant submits there is also probable cause to believe that KELSEY LEIGH ANN WILSON violated 40 U.S.C. 5104(e)(2)(D) &amp; (G), which makes it a crime to willfully and knowingly (D) utter loud, threatening, or abusive language, or engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place in the Grounds or in any of the Capitol Buildings with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct of a session of Congress,&#8221; an agent wrote.
In other January 6 cases, even immediate family members have served as confidential informants to the FBI.
In June, someone who had known Michael Leon Brock of Mississippi for twenty years submitted a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi-defendant/file/1413551/download">tip</a> to the FBI that the person recognized him in a picture.
In the case of Guy Wesley Reffit of Texas, &#8220;one of Reffitt’s family members, who will be referred to as CW-1&#8230; surreptitiously recorded the defendant’s voice as the defendant narrated some of the videos shown on the [computer] for the family,&#8221; prosecutors <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/50260045/27/united-states-v-reffitt/">wrote</a>.

Fifteen More Arrested For January 6 Capitol Riot As Internet Sleuths Tell On Acquaintances

Earlier this week, The Daily Wire reported that a school board member whose father was on the board of the mosque attended by 9/11 hijackers and who hired as imam a top al-Qaeda operative, opposed a resolution honoring the victims of the attacks.
Fairfax County, Virginia, school board member Abrar Omeish <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/school-board-member-abrar-omeish-whose-father-led-september-11-hijackers-mosque-opposes-resolution-honoring-victims">lambasted</a> her fellow Democrats for not supporting an &#8220;alternative&#8221; resolution she had proposed, which had not been made public. Her supporters said she merely wanted an &#8220;inclusive&#8221; statement that would add a little balance to a statement honoring the 3,000 Americans who died on September 11, 2001, with a reminder that some Muslims experienced discrimination in the aftermath.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Ms Omeish wanted a truthful, inclusive statement instead of the usual whitewashing that is so devoid of meaning.
9/11 and its aftermath is complex, and people like Luke still use it to paint with a racist brush, tarnishing the heroes they claim to hold so reverently
&mdash; Desiree (@Desarrayed) <a href="https://twitter.com/Desarrayed/status/1436400332834320387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 10, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Now, Omeish has posted her version of the resolution, and it is more extreme than one would have imagined — spending only one paragraph on the 3,000 dead Americans, and 10 paragraphs mourning the discrimination faced by Muslims, such as 25 reported anti-Muslim hate crimes in the state of Virginia twenty years ago.
The resolution is called &#8220;Commemorating Twenty Years of Social and Political Impact of the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks&#8221; and concludes with the statement &#8220;BE IT RESOLVED, that the Fairfax County School Board encourages the teaching of September 11, 2001 and its social and political impacts on our community and our country, as a lesson in the dangers of collective blame, xenophobia, and the demonization of entire populations,&#8221; and that the School Board &#8220;denounces two decades of policies, actions, and rhetoric which disproportionately impacted Arab Americans, American Muslims, and those percieved [sic] to be Arabs or Muslims here in Fairfax County and across our country.&#8221;
Omeish lives with her father Esam, who was a director of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/school-board-member-abrar-omeish-whose-father-led-september-11-hijackers-mosque-opposes-resolution-honoring-victims">hired as its imam</a> Anwar al-Awlaki, who former President Barack Obama later ordered to be killed by drone strike. The mosque was attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers as well as the shooter in the 2009 attack on Fort Hood, Texas.
Omeish was the Virginia co-chair of the <a href="https://www.law.georgetown.edu/blume-public-interest-scholars/abrar-omeish-2/">Bernie Sanders</a> presidential campaign. In June, she gave a graduation speech in which she told a mainly-immigrant class of high schoolers that they were entering a world filled with “racism, extreme versions of individualism and capitalism, [and] white supremacy,” and encouraged them to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-tells-high-school-grads-theyre-entering-capitalism-white-supremacy-remember-jihad-reject-objectivity">remember their “jihad”</a> and reject the concepts of objectivity and neutrality.
In May, a Jewish group rescinded an award she was set to receive for promoting &#8220;equity&#8221; after she wrote, “Hurts my heart to celebrate while Israel kills Palestinians &amp; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jewish-group-rescinds-award-to-politician-who-said-israel-desecrates-the-holy-land">desecrates the Holy Land</a> right now. Apartheid &amp; colonization were wrong yesterday and will be today, here and there.”
The proposed resolution, which no other member of the school board agreed to support, says in its entirety:

Proposed 9/11 Resolution From School Board Member Who Spoke Of Jihad Spends 1 Paragraph Honoring Dead Americans, 10 Lamenting Muslim Discrimination

The diversity office of a Maryland county planned to commemorate 9/11 by hosting a play that it said &#8220;explores themes like Islamophobia&#8221; and &#8220;expose[s] the racial and ethnic prejudices&#8221; against Muslims — in which the main Arab-American character admits he was &#8220;proud&#8221; when the Twin Towers fell, and another says America &#8220;deserved what it got.&#8221;
Howard County was set to host the play on Saturday, the twentieth anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 Americans. &#8220;County Executive Calvin Ball will provide opening remarks,&#8221; an announcement from the county executive and the Office of Human Rights &amp; Equity said. It advertised the play as exposing &#8220;the racial and ethnic prejudices that &#8216;secretly persist in even the most progressive cultural circles&#8217; in a post-9/11 America.&#8221;
They then deleted the announcement and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HoCoOHRE/photos/a.372364193670973/867324070841647">&#8220;postponed&#8221;</a> the play — &#8220;Disgraced&#8221; by Ayad Akhtar — due to &#8220;unforeseen circumstances.&#8221; They did not explain those circumstances, but if anyone in the Equity office had gotten around to <a href="https://literariness.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Literariness.org-Disgraced-A-Play-by-Ayad-Akhtar-.pdf">reading the play</a>, they would have found out that it actually mocks white liberals as naive.
In it, a white liberal woman named Emily lectures her Muslim-raised husband Amir that Islam does not actually encourage men to beat their wives, as he says it does. She also disagrees with a black woman for being conservative, then sleeps with her husband. When Amir finds out about the affair, he beats her with &#8220;uncontrolled,&#8221; &#8220;brutal&#8221; violence.
The play tells the story of Amir, a New York lawyer who says that his first crush was a Jewish girl and that his mother spit in his face when she found out. Then he spit in the face of the girl. Amir later marries Emily, a housewife in the Upper East Side who fashions herself an aspiring artist who is enthralled with Islamic art.
Amir says he can understand why airports would search Arabs before they get on a plane, while Emily says, &#8220;I disagree. The next attack is coming from some white guy who’s got a gun he shouldn’t have.&#8221;
They are joined for dinner by Jory, a black lawyer, and her husband Isaac, a Jewish art buyer. Jory says the full veil that some Muslim women wear is &#8220;evil&#8221; because &#8220;you erase a face, you erase individuality,&#8221; and says she&#8217;s more interested in &#8220;order&#8221; than &#8220;justice,&#8221; saying when &#8220;you pull yourself out of the ghetto, you realize real soon order is where it&#8217;s at.&#8221;
Emily argues, &#8220;Me. Justice. Always.&#8221;
In a conversation with Issac, Amir says he was proud when 9/11 happened, while Emily tries to convince herself it is not true:
<blockquote>ISAAC: Did you feel pride on September Eleventh? 
AMIR (With hesitation): If I’m honest, yes. 
EMILY: You don’t really mean that, Amir. 
AMIR: I was horrified by it, okay? Absolutely horrified. 
JORY: Pride about what? About the towers coming down? About people getting killed? 
AMIR: That we were finally winning.</blockquote>
The law firm eventually makes Jory partner, a position Amir wanted, and Amir tells Jory, &#8220;You think you&#8217;re the n&#8212;er here? I&#8217;m the n&#8212;er!! Me!!&#8221;
After Amir discovers that Emily slept with Isaac, he beats her, then is joined by his Islamic fundamentalist nephew, Abe.
Abe has been questioned by the FBI after his friend berates a Starbucks barista and tells her America created al-Qaeda — an assertion Abe agrees with — and that America &#8220;deserved what it got and what it was going to get.&#8221;
Abe says when the FBI asked about his immigration status, he laughed at them, saying they&#8217;re &#8220;going into our community and looking for people whose immigration status is vulnerable.&#8221;
He says if he gets deported, it &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t be the worst thing&#8221; and that &#8220;maybe we never should have left. Maybe we never should have come to this one.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;ve conquered the world. We&#8217;re gonna get it back. That&#8217;s our destiny. It&#8217;s in the Quran,&#8221; he said. &#8220;For three hundred years they’ve been taking our land, drawing new borders, replacing our laws, making us want to be like them. Look like them. Marry their women. They disgraced us. They disgraced us. And then they pretend they don’t understand the rage we’ve got?&#8221;
Near the end of the play, Emily says she was &#8220;naïve.&#8221;

Equity Office Marks 9/11 By Bemoaning ‘Prejudice’ Against Muslims With Play In Which American Muslims Cheer Attack

A school board member whose father was on the board of the mosque attended by 9/11 hijackers and hired as imam a top Al-Qaeda operative on Wednesday forcefully opposed a resolution honoring the victims of the attacks.
Abrar Omeish is on the school board of Fairfax County Public Schools, near the Pentagon. She lives with her father Esam, who was a director of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, and hired as its imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who President Barack Obama later ordered killed by drone strike. The mosque was attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers as well as the shooter in the 2009 attack on Fort Hood, Texas.
She said a school board resolution calling for a moment of silence marking the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 was not &#8220;anti-racist.&#8221;
While 9/11 was &#8220;jarring&#8221; and a &#8220;historic turning point in our nation&#8217;s history,&#8221; she said, the resolution failed to address &#8220;state-sponsored traumas&#8221; to Muslims. &#8220;Just two years ago, even I was profiled as a threat, in one of the most traumatic experiences of my life,&#8221; she said.
That refers to an incident in which she was pulled over by the police for running a red light, then removed from her car for repeatedly refusing to show her license. Video <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jewish-group-set-to-honor-libyan-american-politician-days-after-she-said-israel-desecrates-the-holy-land">shows</a> an obvious traffic infraction and that the officer could not see her appearance when he pulled her over.
She called for a school system &#8220;where all pain and trauma is acknowledged as legitimate and worthy of recognition.&#8221;
&#8220;I vote against this today because our omission of these realities causes harm. We are elevating a traumatic event without sufficient cultural competence,&#8221; she said.
She said she trusts that Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)&#8217;s &#8220;equity team will follow up with Dr. Amaarah Decuir and other state advisors whose expertise enlightens us on this topic. I hope we can include these components in our broader anti-racist, anti-bias work.&#8221;
Decuir produced a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/virginia-education-department-instructs-teachers-to-avoid-teaching-about-muslim-extremism-on-9-11">video</a> for the Virginia Department of Education, which is led by Atif Qarni, instructing educators on how to teach about 9/11, which said:
<blockquote>We are not going to reproduce a false assumption of Muslim responsibility for 9/11. We&#8217;re just going to begin right there and name that there is no responsibility&#8230; We&#8217;re also not going to reproduce what&#8217;s understood as American exceptionalism&#8230; You name what happened and that&#8217;s it. There&#8217;s no need to further describe it, embellish it, name them, provide details. That&#8217;s not relevant&#8230; Don&#8217;t reproduce a single American narrative, that there&#8217;s only one way to understand 9/11.</blockquote>
In June, Omeish gave a graduation speech in which she told a mainly-immigrant class of high schoolers that they were entering a world filled with “white supremacy” and encouraged them to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-tells-high-school-grads-theyre-entering-capitalism-white-supremacy-remember-jihad-reject-objectivity">remember their “jihad”</a> and reject the concepts of objectivity and neutrality. A photograph shows her as the only person without her hand over her heart during the pledge of allegiance at another graduation ceremony.
The resolution to which Omeish objected said that in recognition of &#8220;the 20-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and United Airlines Flight 93,&#8221; and while rejecting &#8220;fear and oppression,&#8221; a &#8220;moment of silence will be observed in every Fairfax County Public School&#8221; and that teachers should &#8220;share the history and lessons learned from this tragic day with their students and to correct misconceptions and stereotypes about all cultures and religions in a sensitive manner.&#8221;
She said:
<blockquote>Why can we not also explicitly recognize the extensive and unwarranted structural discrimination and ethnic and religious profiling following 9/11 that tens of thousands of FCPS students experience on a daily basis. The pain that trillions of dollars have gone into creating and perpetuating, and that continues in our very classrooms today. As patriots we must confront our realities so that we can build better together. Indeed, love of country, of county, of community demands it.
Last board meeting, we acknowledged the heartbreak of our children abroad in Afghanistan and our spirit to welcome the many refugees fleeing the aftermath. These pieces are all related. The harms stem from the same problem. The reality is that 9/11 has caused these layers of state-sponsored traumas from discrimination, xenophobia, and ostracization that hits home for our students. It led to an erosion of due process in the law that harmed all of us. It justified wars including what we now know to be a failed war on terror. And fomented targeting like the Patriot Act, countering violent extremism efforts, that we live with today and that I know the harms of way too personally.
Why is this relevant? These realities have justified media narratives, messages and tropes that have led all of us to hold deep biases that continue to harm our community and that have reflected themselves in this resolution today. &#8230;
On September of 2001, a Sikh man, Sikh being the religion, was discriminated against at a restaurant right here in Springfield.
[This resolution] ignores the surveillance, the targeting, the profiling, the entrapment, and the other state-sponsored discrimination against our constituents right here in Fairfax until today as a result of that day.
Our job as board members is to advance what&#8217;s best for our students and their academic and mental and social-emotional success. The American Psychological Association documents that post-9/11 sentiments are among the most significant mental health barriers to learning. &#8230;
A survey of parents finds the same result and adds that 1 out of every 3 incidents involves a school official perpetuating it. Right here in northern Virginia, early findings of a study presented to the Department of Education shows that students experience targeting bullying during 9/11 lessons. Throughout this week we have the risk of this happening. And that these trends of religious and ethnic based bullying are experienced by FCPS students, families and staff on a daily basis through our curriculum. &#8230;
My own brother in FCPS sent a message to our family WhatsApp group telling us he&#8217;s sitting through harmful content in what&#8217;s being presented. And last year he had to sit through watching a video of &#8220;why they hate us.&#8221; &#8230;
The token phrasing around 9/11 is never forget. As a nation we remember a jarring event, no doubt. But we choose to forget, as this resolution does, the fear, the ostracization and the collective blame.</blockquote>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="FCPS School Board Meeting - 09/9/2021" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IBvFo2WDS_E?start=4394&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Immediately after Omeish&#8217;s speech, a woman in the audience stood up and shouted: &#8220;Can I just say that no parent can speak up to this? We are restricted about how we can — &#8221; A school board member talked over her, telling her &#8220;Sit down and stay quiet.&#8221;
Facing increased criticism, the school board made its policy on public comment more restrictive. &#8220;It&#8217;s a sham, it&#8217;s a show,&#8221; she said, to applause from other audience members. &#8220;You should be ashamed.&#8221;
But some school board members, who are all Democrats and who have frequently worked with Omeish in promoting what they call &#8220;equity,&#8221; had their own words for Omeish.
Ricardy Anderson, a previous chair of the board, said an &#8220;alternative&#8221; resolution that Omeish was angry they did not adopt was only shown to them shortly before the meeting. &#8220;Your failure to communicate with this board does not give you the right to chastise us in this session,&#8221; she said. Parents clapped.
Omeish&#8217;s remarks derailed the school board into a lengthy debate, distracting from the intended message of the 9/11 resolution and delaying discussions related to returning to school after nearly a year of coronavirus closure.
Member Karen Keys-Gamarra said in what seemed to be a pointed reference to Omeish: &#8220;I want to make sure that this recognition of this solemn moment is not lost in this conversation&#8230; I know that there are many cultural issues or concerns, but when I think of 9/11 what stands out most in my mind is people who didn&#8217;t just think of themselves.&#8221;
