Controversial school board member from Libya endorsed curriculum that removes ‘Islamic terror’ from 9/11 history lessons
School board member Abrar Omeish has previously been accused of ‘cruel’ and ‘callous’ rhetoric relating to 9/11
A Fairfax, Virginia, school board member recommended curriculum materials for teachers to use for their lesson plans which opposed using terms such as “radical Islamic terror,” “Islamic terrorists” and “jihadists” when discussing the history of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Abrar Omeish is a school board member and Georgetown law student who has become marred in controversy over a series of controversial statements. In one instance, she refused to vote on a motion to commemorate 9/11 victims.
Fox News Digital found that in 2021 Omeish recommended public school teachers use a “culturally responsive” curriculum guide for their lesson plans about 9/11 history. 
Virginia school board member says Iwo Jima comments were ‘misrepresented,’ backlash rooted in Islamophobia
An embattled school district in Virginia has been ground zero for controversial public school education policies and one member of the school board has frequently made headlines for her left-wing talking points.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) board member Abrar Omeish has sparked outrage among parents in recent years for her comments about capitalism, racism, white supremacy and American history.
During a school board meeting last week, the 28-year-old Muslim school board member described the Battle of Iwo Jima as “unfortunate” and “evil” while discussing the Day of Remembrance that commemorates the victims of Japanese American internment during World War II and coincides with the US invasion of Iwo Jima, which occurred on Feb. 19, 1945.
“Just a few days ago was Japanese Day of Remembrance,” Omeish said during the meeting. “Something for us to certainly reflect on … the days when, you know, Iwo Jima unfortunately happened and set a record for really what, I hate to say, human evil is capable of.”
The Battle of Iwo Jima, in which almost 7,000 American service members died trying to capture the island from the imperial Japanese army, is considered a significant US victory in World War II.
