(Fox) A controversial Fairfax, Virginia, school board member, Abrar Omeish, who previously refused to vote on a motion that would commemorate Sept. 11 victims, shared plans to use $3 billion available in the district’s budget for a Palestinian agenda before she was elected, according to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital.
In addition to her elected duties, Omeish is currently getting her JD and master’s in public policy at Georgetown. An investigative journalist — Asra Q. Nomani — captured Omeish’s remarks at a September 2019 American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) fundraising event right before the future lawyer landed a seat on the school board.
During her AMP speech, Omeish described an intention to integrate a pro-Palestinian agenda into classroom books and curriculum, and seemed to suggest that was a motivation for the school board run. She went on to discuss the “big money” in the district’s budget and “Muslim power.”
