Fox Tries To Pass Off Son Of Right Wing Activist As Random VA Student “Offended” By “Woke” Teachers

Mediaite reports:

Fox News host Lawrence Jones reported from a Leesburg, Virginia diner Thursday morning, and broke major news when he came across a student who revealed — live on camera — that he felt “attacked” by “woke teachers” who showed him “degrading” videos.

In what is a remarkable coincidence, the student in question, William Shultz, is the son of Elizabeth Shultz, who is a former school board member in Fairfax County, a GOP activist, and has appeared on Fox News before to explain an op-ed she wrote complaining about critical race theory being taught in schools.

At no time in the segment did Jones disclose that Elizbeth Shultz is a political activist and so Fox & Friends viewers were likely left with the impression that she and her son’s reaction is just standard fare for Virginia diners.
