A school board member who stirred controversy for refusing to support a tribute also wanted to ban terms like 'radical Islamic terror' and 'jihadists' from classes about the terror attacks, it has emerged.Abrar Omeish, 28, said teachers in Fairfax should use a 'culturally responsive' guide that doesn't 'explore the definition of terrorism' to inform children about the atrocity.The guide recommended by Omeish in 2021 said the word terrorism is 'often used in a biased manner' and classes about the September 11 attacks, which claimed the lives of 2,977 victims, should focus on the impact on 'communities of color, including Muslim Americans'.
