Dr. Harry Jackson, a parent and former PTA president for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Virginia, had four criminal charges of libel and slander levied against him dismissed by a judge Friday.

Dr. Harry Jackson, a father and former naval intelligence officer, opposed the policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria that based admissions more on race and less on merit. Steve Descano, a Democratic prosecutor backed by billionaire George Soros, pursued criminal charges of libel and slander with prejudice against Jackson over tweets published in 2020.

Jackson, also a professor at numerous other universities and the African American Community Liaison for Fairfax GOP, had accused liberal activist Jorge Torrico of"grooming" behavior.

A federal appeals court has granted a request from a Virginia school system to continue using a challenged admissions policy while it appeals a ruling that found it discriminates against Asian American students."I would like to stress this point—what makes this case unique is that criminal charges were brought to suppress free speech.

The separate but related case involving the school admissions policy, which a federal judge previously ruled as discriminatory against Asian Americans, is also piquing the interest of the Supreme Court.
