INVESTIGATIONS: By Walter Curt
In this exclusive sit-down, I speak with Fairfax County whistleblower Zenaida Perez, the teacher whose disclosures have shaken one of Virginia’s most powerful school districts. Perez details, in her own words, how she says Fairfax officials retaliated against her after she reported that a pregnant student underwent a medical procedure without her guardian’s consent — a claim now backed by a newly released recording from that guardian himself. The conversation moves beyond bureaucratic spin to reveal the human side of a system that, according to Perez, has become more interested in protecting its image than protecting children.
This interview is a direct response to Fairfax County Public Schools’ 62-page “interim report,” which Perez and Curt contend is riddled with contradictions and omissions. Through calm, factual questioning and recorded evidence, Curt methodically dismantles the district’s narrative, exposing the gulf between its public statements and the testimony of those inside. Viewers will see not only the heart of a veteran teacher standing by her conscience but also the unmistakable pattern of institutional evasion that now demands accountability. It’s a revealing, unfiltered look at truth confronting power in Northern Virginia.
