A prosecutor in Northern Virginia is pursuing slander and libel charges against a parent involved in disputes over admissions policies for one of the nation’s top-ranked public high schools, according to an education reform advocate.

Attorneys for Harry Jackson, a black former president of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) will be at a hearing to discuss a motion to dismiss four counts of “slander and libel” being pursued by Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, according to Asra Nomani, a co-founder of the Coalition for TJ, citing a Fairfax County spokesman.
