Loudoun County school board member Beth Barts, whose advocacy for a politicized K-12 education triggered an online crusade to “hack” and “expose” non-compliant parents in the semi-rural Virginia district, made a Facebook post which showed that she participated in the Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County group during a period in which she told police she did not visit it and was therefore unaware of its activities — and that post appears to have been deleted by the time police obtained the group’s posts under subpoena.
The now-infamous saga began when Barts wrote on March 12 to a private group called Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County that “I am very concerned that this [anti-] CRT ‘movement’ for lack of a better word is gaining support.” Two days prior, Barts had been stripped of all committee assignments for aggressive behavior towards parents and colleagues. “It is difficult for me to bring attention to it without calling out specifics which may violate our code of conduct,” she continued in a message around 8:30 a.m.
