I’m not gonna vote for someone who acts like she deserves credit for living in the Valley when, as some of her supporters claimed during her first run, she and her husband could afford to live anywhere in Arlington. White savior much?

Yeah she lived in the Valley but sent one kid to private school, and didn't send the others to the neighborhood school. Not good enough for her and Mr. Miranda MAGA apparently.

TEMPORARILY sent one to private. They went Arlington Montessori for public.

Exactly, they avoided going to Drew. With the black and brown kids.

Stop this nonsense right now. I can barely stomach even spending the energy to confront the sheer ignorance in this post, but, Miranda currently lives in Green Valley. Presently. She was on Drew's PTA. Run your eyeballs instead of your mouth and do some research, it will serve you better.

How many years have her three kids attended Drew, collectively?

How many have YOUR kids attended there?

Do you think you're clever? None of us are running for the School Board. Miranda is. I have never heard her say why she won't send her own kids to the neighborhood school with the black and brown kids in their neighborhood.

0, but they have spent 100% of their school years at neighborhood schools, totally 19 years now.

If there are option schools, some people will
choose them. If your point is that option schools should be eliminated so that all of our resources can be poured into the neighborhood schools, I agree. If that's not your point, it seems like you're just being nasty to someone you don't like. So what's your point? What are you hoping to get from her?

I have. And it has nothing to do with skin color; everything to do with getting the educational needs of her own kids. Just like all you other parents who won't live anywhere near these schools. You just avoid it in a more "acceptable" manner. Virtual school didn't cut it - for a lot of us. She, like many others even in the "superior" schools up north, put her kid in private.

That's what I thought. And I also think it's because you intentionally avoided the school and others most like it. At least Miranda gave it a shot, even if it was via Montessori. The fact that she withdrew her kid from Montessori should tell you something different than just pulling out of Drew. Something about the quality of education during online learning.

Wasn’t that during the pandemic?

Yes.

And then continued up until June 2023.

Just like a bunch of north Arlington parents.

Her APE friends who weirdly are all MAGA.

APE is truly hiding their true intentions. Right now they're all about "improving learning outcomes" and saying all the right things (but very much mirroring what PDE and IWF is saying without the culture wars rhetoric), but with Miranda on the Board and them infiltrating all of the other community groups, I won't be surprised when all Arlington will all be talking about banning books and denying Transgender rights again.

I blame the ACDC who did not vet them and took Miranda at her word. Nobody I know wants to vote for her. Not any of the APS teachers who live in Arlington who had to put up with their harassment during the pandemic, not anyone who cares about minority kids. Probably not even the four people who will have to work with her, no matter what anonymous people say anonymously.

I'm leaving her vote blank.

[Anonymous]

I vaguely remember APE congratulating Youngkin on winning his election. There was a letter than circulated online. How Democrat is that?

Youngkin very much wants to defund public schools, giving all the money to his private school friends.

If you care about public schools at all staying PUBLIC and accessible to all students, then don't pretend Miranda is going to help at all. She's just there to cause chaos. Congrats, Arlington. You got played.

We'll see. It's really unbelievable how much power y'all think one SB member has in Arlington.

I’m guessing they are going to lean into “school choice” and more subtle ways to tear down APS.

What does that even mean? Arlington County can't issue vouchers.

It's just paranoid nonsense that comes from thinking everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders thinks exactly the same on everything. Even when they say things that would seem to undercut that fact, it's all just a headfake for the real, hidden agenda which only they can perceive.
