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.

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.

You do have to wonder about someone who surrounds herself with so many MAGAs.

But APE can certainly advocate for that.

And they can do that, right now, today. This has nothing to do with who is on the school board. I think you're being a little paranoid.

They are playing the long-game. They have to be very measured with what they say in Arlington.

I will never trust people who choose to be Republicans in 2023.

Independents are selfish, immature losers. It’s a two-party system. Grow TF up.

If you aren’t fighting against the MAGAs in 2023 then you think their behavior is acceptable.

People of every stripe only care about anything for as long as it affects their own kids. There is no long game. Get a grip.

Never said otherwise. It’s 2023 and MAGAs continue to push lies and oppress others. Even here in VA.

And some people are willing to go to great lengths to get what they feel their kids are entitled to. Regardless of whomever they hurt on the way.

If you don’t like her, vote for Rives.

Yes, why not vote for Rives? Mental health and substance abuse are hot topics and he's an expert as a psychiatrist.

Then why are they putting out anti-choice "articles" in their newsletter? https://www.arlingtonparentsforeducation.org/enews/e-news-october-31-2023

Option schools within public are a different beast. But you know that.

Keep up. Option schools take money away from neighborhood schools.

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.

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?[/quote

Wow, you must be one of her hardcore supporters. There are always a couple or maybe just one APE/Mirandite on DCUM.

Do you know the history of Green Valley and Drew, and what Drew means to this community? We can't ask questions about why a WHITE School Board candidate who lives in the Valley avoids sending her WHITE children to the Title 1 neighborhood school with the BLACK and BROWN children from the neighborhood?
