Teachers Told Not to Link 9/11 Terror Attacks to ‘Islam or Muslims’ by Va. School District
12th September 2026
In Virginia, the Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) district advised teachers that they should not link the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people with radical Islam and instructed them to create “safe spaces” for Muslim students when discussing the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks.
A copy of the guide, titled “25th Anniversary and Commemoration of 9/11,” was obtained and analyzed by Fox News Digital, which notes that the guide’s focus has “prompted critics to accuse Fairfax County (Virginia) Public School’s liberal leaders of coddling post-9/11 sensitivities rather than teaching history.”
That’s like telling teachers not to link Buchenwald and Dachau with Nazis or National Socialism.
