This is a masterful dissection and take down of America's racist and flawed education system. I always suspected the US World and News Report college rankings was 🗑 and biased against but this examination of the methodology confirms it.

The NAACP chapter in Fairfax County, Va., and another group are calling for Kevin Davis’s ouster over allegations of excessive force and racist comments. Davis disputes some of the claims.

As you may be aware, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has announced that effective May 3, 2021, Mr. Kevin Davis will be the next Fairfax County Police Chief. There are a number of concerns surrounding the lack of transparency throughout the selection process and the lack of accountability to the public.

Since the announcement of the selection of Mr. Davis, troubling information about his law enforcement record has come to light, most notably through an NBC4 report linked here:

NBC4 Story About Kevin Davis: https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/fairfax-county-incoming-police-chief-appointed-despite-lawsuits-over-force-in-prince-georges/2652659/?fbclid=IwAR2unbrg6KmWxXeMBePcbHePhv9h3hnoXJKId_5fQF6Yp1P9y9XCu28l0bc

To date, there has been no formal response by the Board of Supervisor or Mr. Davis regarding these specific issues. In a time where there has been significant media focus on police use of force, victims of police brutality, and the murder of George Floyd, this selection is not only tone-deaf but potentially dangerous.

We encourage you to take a moment to reach out to your County Supervisor and the chairman of the Board of Supervisors via email and express your concerns. For convenience, we have provided a sample letter as well as contact information:
