jason's team has done great work in loudoun county, exposed a cover-up of a sexual assault, and here we are in these counties end. fairfax, loudoun and prince william with the same challenges. virginia's parents deserve to know what's going on in their children's lives, excellence in education should be celebrated, not withheld from students. this is a core value we will protect in the commonwealth of virginia. >> sandra: and a revelation from the virginia attorney general telling fox news that fairfax county paid a so-called equity consultant $450,000 for less than nine months of work. is that person at the center of this decision? what do we know about that so far? >> well, that has been reported, and again, i think what i believe is that it is this relentless pursuit of equal outcomes at any cost. equal outcomes for all students that has been preached and it has been trained into administration's and this $450,000 contract is just yet another example. and therefore, it is not surprising to suggest that for this to be pervasive across fairfax county, but also loudoun county and now

that's exactly what we found in loudoun county. i ordered this investigation on day one of our administration, and our attorney general went to work. oh, by the way, the democrats immediately condemned it, saying it was all political. the reality was the loudoun county school board worked to cover this up. these poor young women should have never been assaulted and the superintendent has fired appropriately and indicted. this is the work that comes when we shine a bright light on these heinous cover-ups that we know are going on. now we see, in fairfax county, violations of civil liberties, where we have students who had achieved a real accolade to be a national merit scholar, and they weren't told because they didn't want to make the other students feel bad. when you have a superintendent of loudoun county who expresses a desire that all students will have equal outcomes, no exceptions, this is the kind of crazy behavior that you get from principals and administrators. it's not right. it's not consistent with virginia values and a

i have come to know scott smith of loudoun county, i consider him a friend. i have been talking to him since the actions against his family in response to his daring to go to the school board to question the abuse of his daughter. resulted in his name being put out as the poster child for the weaponization of government against parents who dare question school boards. yes, in fact, the national school board association sent a letter, but what became increasingly clear is that it was in collusion with the white house seeking the letter. that has become readily clear from the emails that we have gotten through freedom of information act requests. that the biden white house was seeking the national school board association to have that kind of a letter request in order that they, the biden administration, be able to target scott smith and other parents around this country. every american should shudder at the power of the government, the federal government, being targeted at parents for daring to stand up and defend a daughter who is abused in a path room in the

speech he was that loudoun county with the restroom, not fairfax?irfax is where that happened and that's an ongoing case. at the end of the day we want to demand excellence. we want our students to not have this "war on merit." we have seen unfortunately in some areas of the country what i call wilke racism, reverse discrimination against the wrong groups and those individuals mi. we want to make sure that everybody has an equal playing field and can achieve their dreams and we don't want anybody to be held back because of who they are and their ethnic background. >> ainsley: jason, i know y'all were elected because the parents were sick of it. mama's and pop the bears stood up. hopefully this review can clean the schools thanks for coming on explaining this. coming up, exposing a crisis. senators walked in southern borders see what joe biden didn't do during his three hour stop in el paso. james lankford joins us live from the border. our purpose is not just closing a loan. we want to do whatever's best for the individual service person. we want to

most of the equity agenda we see in loudoun county or other counties in virginia comes out of fairfaxorigination of all of this. jon: the senate is taking up a couple of items in relation to this, i think we can put those on the screen. the 787 would require parental permission for students to view sensitive material and then there's 1371 which would allow vouchers to use state funds to educate students outside of public schools the parents could vote with their feet if they wanted to. >> that's right and you are moving into an election year again in virginia, always election year in virginia and these state senators and house of delegate members will be up for election and will have to explain their votes on these important issues. school choice is one of those things where it benefits everybody to have an education savings account where you can take the money and you may live in zip code that isn't going to be, it will be detrimental to your child's education, you will send your child somewhere else. other bills address student discipline, one of the biggest things i hear from teach
