"If you happened to be following the news in Prince William County, Virginia, over the past few weeks, you might have been under the impression that an angry mob of parents protesting critical race theory disrupted a recent school board meeting.
Three local outlets covering the Sept. 15 meeting suggested as much.
InsideNoVa, the Prince William Times and local ABC affiliate WJLA-TV all claimed that the room where the meeting took place had to be cleared due to a supposedly “unruly” crowd of parents.
According to someone who attended and filmed the meeting, this is far from the truth.
...The party responsible for the outburst that led to security clearing the room seems to be Tonya James, a chairwoman of the Prince William County Democratic Committee.
...In video footage of the school board meeting, a woman identified by Bravo as James can be seen screaming obscenities at gathered parents.
Local news outlets, however, omitted James’ comments from their coverage of the event.
For example, a video shared by InsideNoVa’s Jared Foretek begins moments after James’ outburst.

The misleading editing makes it appear as though the angry parents were unprovoked...Read all.
