Parents Chant ‘Racist’ While Asian Mother Shares Anti-CRT Book During Fairfax County School Board Meeting

Parent activists in northern Virginia chanted “racist” at a public school board meeting while a mother shared an anti-critical race theory book about the district’s wrongdoings, according to video footage of the encounter.

Asra Nomani, a parent activist in the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), brought copies of the book “Race to the Bottom” to share with the FCPS Board. The book includes an investigation into the board’s role in lowering admissions standards at an elite magnet school to lower the number of Asian students admitted.

While Nomani talked about the book, parents began chanting at the board, “Racist! Racist!”
“You are the new face of racism. I have here a copy of a book for each of you: Race to the Bottom. You are all in this book,” Nomani said. “I hope you read them from cover to cover and see yourselves in the pages of history as failures.”
