The Washington Post's @laurameckler spent three weeks preparing a hitpiece against me.
In this thread, I will expose five flat-out lies, from the fabrication of a timeline to multiple smears that are easily disproven by documentary evidence.
This is how the media lies.

Lie #3. The Washington Post falsifies a direct quotation, claiming that I said it is "so obvious" that my strategy was to "conflate" unrelated items with CRT. I never said this and challenge the Post to produce the audio recording to support their claim—or retract it.pic.twitter.com/kGboTRx8YU

Lie #4. The Washington Post claims that the Treasury Department never said that all white people are racist during a diversity training seminar—but I have the original source documents that prove the Post's claim is false.pic.twitter.com/zfRHeqi1L4

Lie #5. The Washington Post claims that my reporting about a "power and privilege" training at a Cupertino elementary school never happened. But I have hard evidence from a parent and the school's own principal, who confirms that the training did occur.pic.twitter.com/NKofn55OWP

The Washington Post has attempted to smear me with five verifiably false claims. I call on the editors to issue an immediate correction and retract all of the false statements. Democracy dies when the media lies.

The attempt at guilt by association . . . no surprise.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Isn't the more important correction that the Trump administration didn't cancel all diversity training but only a subset? Maybe my reading comprehension is no good, but I saw nothing in the order against bystander intervention training (i.e., the inoffensive kind that works)
