Fairfax County Schools Allegedly Facilitate Secret Student Abortions Without Parental Consent

Multiple allegations have surfaced accusing Fairfax County Public Schools, specifically Centreville High School, of facilitating and funding abortions for students without parental knowledge or consent, sparking outrage and calls for accountability. Whistleblower and ESL teacher Zenaida Perez claims she repeatedly alerted school officials since 2022 about a social worker allegedly coercing and financing a 17-year-old student's abortion, but was ignored and retaliated against, while the district initially denied prior knowledge. An independent investigation was launched after the scandal gained media attention and public backlash, with the superintendent asserting the situation would never be acceptable in the school system. Critics highlight that Virginia's parental-notification law exists to prevent such secrecy and coercion, emphasizing the physical and emotional risks inherent in abortion procedures, especially for minors. The controversy has drawn responses from political figures and pro-life groups, with concerns about the erosion of parental rights and the misuse of taxpayer funds. The case has ignited a broader debate about transparency and trust in public schools.
