Miryam Qudrat has a son in the Los Angeles Unified School District, so she understandably has a vested interest in whether schools reopen and how they reopen.
Qudrat, who favors reopening, recently shared her perspective with the L.A. Times — and apparently found herself on United Teachers of Los Angeles’ naughty list:
NEW: Miryam Qudrat is accusing UTLA of conducting racial opposition research on parents who speak to press about wanting schools to reopen after she received an email from a UTLA researcher asking if she's Iranian/how she racially identifies after she spoke to L.A. Times. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/3yzSpuovyA

Qudrat points to this Facebook post from UTLA President Cecily Myart-Cruz, where she claims UTLA has been stalked on social media by "wealthy white and middle eastern parents."
Qudrat is outraged, and feels she was racially targeted by UTLA for being Middle Eastern. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/mNPj8IBNFC— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) March 4, 2021
We reached out to UTLA for comment, inquiring as to why they are asking parents how they racially identify, what their class is, etc, after they speak to the media. We received this response. @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/BYGcnypwPc

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
