Loudoun County Mom Targeted By Left-Wing Activists For Fighting Against Racist Curriculum
The Federalist ^ | 7/13/21 | Spencer Lindquist

Posted on 07/14/2021 4:56:39 AM PDT by Don@VB

Jessica Mendez, an anti-critical race theory activist in Loudoun County, Virginia, alleged she has been targeted by left-wing activists who smeared her as an “active racist” in a flyer that was sent to her employer last month. In a statement to the Daily Caller, Mendez said “Before I was able to speak to my boss, I was worried that the defamatory mail calling me a racist could negatively influence their opinion of me.”

When she explained her involvement in pushing back against the racist curriculum at her child’s school, she said her boss “recognized that I did not do anything wrong and that I am the victim.”

Jessica Mendez is involved with the Fight for Schools PAC, which supports candidates who oppose teaching critical race theory in grade schools. Fight for Schools explains on their website that “Critical race theory holds that American institutions, language, culture, meritocracy, and liberal system of government are systemically racist and must be fundamentally altered.”

Mendez described the specific circumstances that compelled her to get involved in the fight against critical race theory, telling the Daily Caller that “I felt called to action when a neighbor decided to put my friend on an enemies list created in a private Facebook group (Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County) that six of our nine school board members were members of. Some other parents and I met on my deck and decided we needed to stand up and fight for what is right.”

Ian Prior is the Executive Director of Fight for Schools and has also been targeted by the left-wing harassment campaign, with a flyer being mailed to his house that called him “trash” and a “cancer to this community.”

The flyer, which was obtained by the Daily Caller, shows pictures of Mendez at several anti-critical race theory protests where parents gathered to voice their opposition to racist critical theory in public school curriculums. The flyer also said, “You should be ashamed to employ a known and active racist.”

Anybody still think we can live in peace with these people?

Anyone? Anyone?

Seems to me the schoolboard members involved should at least resign and at best be indicted for a crime. Facebook should be held responsible as well.

Given the vicious nature of the Left, I'm not sure this should have been mentioned.

Time to sue these cretins into non-existence.

I would prefer a different solution, but that would mean jail time.

Obama's Communist Revolution is on. Racism is its fuel and if you're against it "you're racist."

I think most here can...otherwise, they wouldn’t STILL be sending their kids to their schools.

They claim they are an “Anti-Raceist” group. I guess like Antifa is an anti fascist group...pure projection.

Mendez must be one of those “white hispanics” so the racist leftists say it’s okay to attack her.

“Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. All federal agencies that provide grants of assistance are required to enforce Title VI. The U.S. Department of Education gives grants of financial assistance to schools and colleges and to certain other entities, including vocational rehabilitation programs.

“Examples of discrimination covered by Title VI include racial harassment....”

“Mao managed to light the fuse that would lead to that huge explosion, the Cultural Revolution,” wrote Leys. The sequence of events he described that led to that upheaval makes the process sound methodical, but the rage and violence unleashed defy rational analysis. Roving mobs of Red Guards composed of teens and children murdered with impunity. Ancient statues, temples, and buildings were destroyed. All books, films, and magazines that predated the Cultural Revolution were withdrawn, and universities and schools were closed.

The right needs to step up and fight the same dirty fight as the left. As an ideology, we continue to whine and act like sheep. We need to mimic the very same tactics. Damn the decency…

Pretty good prima facie case of conspiracy to deprive civil rights, tortious interference, libel, slander, etc.
