What I mean - or how I have interpreted the problem is: We’ve got a Saudi government official sitting on the school board, and then the American government says - ‘hey, we’ve got a problem with this school/curriculum’. If this scenario is considered an interference with the Saudi government because the school board member is a Saudi official -

No, but the Saudi government has a right to inquire why they are being singled out by this Commission. The Commission initiated the request to the Embassy, not the other way around.

From the article: The commission asked embassy officials to review the textbooks used in Saudi schools generally and at the Islamic Saudi Academy specifically but did not receive a response.

Commission spokeswoman Judith Ingram said the commission did not request to speak to academy officials because that went beyond the commission's mandate.

The academy is an accredited school meeting the academic requirements of the Fairfax County school system.
