The loudest battle over critical race theory has emerged in suburban Virginia, which just so happens to be the site of 2021's most important election. And it's being led by Jeff Sessions aide and GOP strategist @iandprior.

As the liberal watchdog group Media Matters reported, Prior is one of at least a dozen Republican strategists and former Trump officials from around the country who Fox News has had on as a parent concerned about CRT, without bothering to mention their partisan affiliation or previous political work.

Other Republican activists involved in this specific recall effort who have appeared on Fox as angry parents include Patti Hidalgo Menders, a GOP media strategist who also heads the Loudoun County Republican Women’s Club, and Lilit Vanetsyan, who was introduced as a local teacher on Fox but is also a media personality with ties to the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA.

And Fight for Schools’ close ties to the GOP are reflected in its donor list, who it’s paid, and where it’s gone to find signatures.

The group began its petition signature drive at the Republican Party of Virginia’s gubernatorial convention, Prior told VICE News, and its website lists multiple petition-gathering events connected with the Loudoun County Republican Club.
