Muslim school board member was against 9/11 tribute, wanted teachers screened for Islamophobia

A Muslim Georgetown University Law student, who also serves as an at-large school board member for the Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, is facing blowback for statements and actions related to 9/11.

According to Fox News, Abrar Omeish (pictured) once “refused to vote” on a motion to honor victims of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, and had recommended a 9/11 curriculum which did not include the terms “radical Islamic terror,” “Islamic terrorists” and “jihadists.”

This “culturally responsive” curriculum states “There is much disagreement about what terrorism means, and it’s often used in a biased manner,” and says teachers “should screen themselves for biases against Arab-Muslims using an online test” before teaching about that fateful date.
