After Mao’s death she was able to go to college to study English and has lived in the United States since 1986. In 2021, she delivered a school board speech in Loudoun County, Virginia against Critical Race Theory that went viral and ignited national conservative media attention.

Live Update From the Liveblog of Friday, August 21, 2026 By Emanuel Fabian Today, 10:12 am A Hamas terrorist who held numerous hostages in captivity in the Strip during the war was killed in an Israeli strike in central Gaza this week, the IDF announces. The Wednesday strike in Nuseirat killed Sobhi Sami Mahmoud Shahtot, identified by the military as a platoon commander in Hamas’s military wing. The IDF says Shahtot invaded Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught and “took part in holding numerous hostages in Hamas captivity during the war. ” Shahtot was also seen taking part in Hamas’s hostage handover ceremonies in November 2023, according to the military. The IDF justifies the strike amid the ceasefire by saying that the terrorist had been advancing attacks on troops and Israeli civilians. He was “eliminated to remove the threat,” the army says.
