A letter sent to the public from Fairfax County School Superintendent, Dr. Michelle Reid, attempts to suggest that there is no truth behind the statements of the teacher at the center of this story. It is disturbing that this has been made public at this time before the findings of the Virginia State Police are concluded and made public.
The letter also links to statements prepared to respond to both the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee inquiry, as well as the request for information from the U.S. Dept of Education. It was prepared by the multi-million-dollar New York- based international law firm that was hired by FCPS recently to deal with these charges. It appears they have helped FCPS become the Goliath to David in this matter, putting one woman’s courage and lonely stand at odds with the entire school system in Fairfax County.
The sadness is that these tactics by FCPS and their expensive lawyers may mean that vulnerable minor girls dealing with pregnancy may find themselves in harm’s way and without their parents’ assistance during a moment when they need them the most.
Attorneys for the teacher, Zenaida Perez, are determined to allow the rest of the story to come out in the proper circumstances going forward. In a bizarre twist, the school system suggests that Perez’s claims are not valid because her legal team is a well-known pro-life firm.
