Top U.S. High School Defends Chinese Military-Linked Funding: ‘Not Unusual’

The school system in charge of the top-ranked U.S. public high school is defending the school’s receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars from groups linked to China’s military and its United Front, calling such foreign funding “not unusual.”

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, or TJHSST, part of Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, partnered with Tsinghua University High School, or TUHS, to assist it and China generally with adopting the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM, and advanced lab research TJHSST is famous for. TUHS is closely tied to Tsinghua University, considered by the Pentagon to be a Chinese military university.

“Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is a world-renowned academic institution known for its innovative STEM education programming,” Julie Moult, the media relations manager for FCPS, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday. “It is not unusual for elite public schools, colleges, and universities in the U.S. to benefit from donations and grants from various sources, including international sources.”
