[Townhall] Townhall has been covering the drama unfolding out of reports that schools in Fairfax County were withholding notification of merit base scholarships from students. Last week, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) urged Attorney General Jason Miyares, also a Republican, to use his authority to investigate Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ), and Miyares quickly agreed. Days later, Miyares also announced that he would be expanding his investigation into all of the Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) system. A press release from Miyares' office also included a statement from the attorney general. "It’s concerning that multiple schools throughout Fairfax County withheld merit awards from students," he said. "My office will investigate the entire Fairfax County Public Schools system to find out if any students were discriminated against and if their rights were violated."
