It's so obvious to me, but other people take the bait and then the threads get out of control.

This is astounding to me. You're actually admitting, with zero shame, that you don't want people to be able to express their political opinions if they differ from yours? Let me guess - you smugly call Republicans "fascists" but you clearly don't see the irony.

You'd better believe people (of all political stripes) are aware there are school board elections this year. Funny that you see nothing wrong with promoting your OWN favored candidates, but can't bear to see others doing the same. This is one of the most important SB elections we've ever had, and I - along with everyone else - will be voting accordingly. I'm sorry that triggers you so.

If only you could do that without lying or fearmongering.

You're illustrating just how little self-awareness you have (again). Do better.

I am doing better. I'm explaining why people don't want BS Republican propaganda on DCUM.

But BS Democratic propaganda is a-ok in your book, amirite? Not to mention liberal gaslighting. Got it. Apparently you don't realize how idiotic you look by requesting Republican opinions to be banned.

What "BS Democratic propaganda"? Oh right, no one is posting that on DCUM.

DP, but if the facts are on your side then you should rebut, not ask for censorship.

Thanks for letting us know you don’t know what “censorship” means.

Enlighten us, please. Asking the moderator to delete or lock threads with which you disagree seems like “censorship” for purposes of this forum.

I didn’t invoke the First Amendment because obviously it doesn’t apply to a private website. But “censorship” seemed appropriate in this context.

IMO, the moderator should delete lies/misinformation/propaganda.

Which is all that the GOP has so...

Maybe if you don't want your crap deleted then maybe your party should come up with an actual platform.

I think the moderator does a very good job on the schools forums. FWIW, I’m not a Republican and only a few of my posts have been deleted over the years, but I do have issues with the current direction of FCPS, which in my humble opinion stems in part from having a school board composed entirely of members of the same party. It’s turned into a mutual admiration society, not a forum for serious debate, which is another reason why it’s off-putting when folks like you advocate for political orthodoxy on this forum as well.

Again, if you have issues with opposing views, counter them with what you believe to be more compelling. Don’t expect the moderator to delete threads or posts simply because you deem them inconvenient. That’s not a good look.

NP. I don’t have any concerns with people stating facts or experiences their kids have had at FCPS. What I think is suspicious is the frequency of a statement like “the school board and Dr. Reid are terrible and they all need to go” dropped into nearly every FCPS thread without anything else to back it up.

Whoops saying the quiet part out loud again…

When you don’t have rebuttals just rely on that “report” button eh?

My big “issue” is the GOP misinformation/propaganda that has become so prevalent on DCUM. Very different than the “opposing views” we typically discuss.

FWIW, I’m not a Republican and only a few of my posts have been deleted over the years, but I do have issues with the current direction of FCPS, which in my humble opinion stems in part from having a school board composed entirely of members of the same party. It’s turned into a mutual admiration society, not a forum for serious debate, which is another reason why it’s off-putting when folks like you advocate for political orthodoxy on this forum as well.

Again, if you have issues with opposing views, counter them with what you believe to be more compelling. Don’t expect the moderator to delete threads or posts simply because you deem them inconvenient. That’s not a good look.

I have issues with lies/misinformation/propaganda. Not simply "opposing views".

DP. You have issues, period. Especially when you pretend opposing views are “lies/misinformation/propaganda.” Grow up.

Jeff already removes lies and misinformation.

Only because people report it.

He doesn't magically know it's there.

Every summer before a big election (there are school board elections this year), they come on and try to stir up trouble so people will vote for their school board candidates. It's so obvious to me, but other people take the bait and then the threads get out of control.

This is astounding to me. You're actually admitting, with zero shame, that you don't want people to be able to express their political opinions if they differ from yours? Let me guess - you smugly call Republicans "fascists" but you clearly don't see the irony.

You'd better believe people (of all political stripes) are aware there are school board elections this year. Funny that you see nothing wrong with promoting your OWN favored candidates, but can't bear to see others doing the same. This is one of the most important SB elections we've ever had, and I - along with everyone else - will be voting accordingly. I'm sorry that triggers you so.

If only you could do that without lying or fearmongering.

DP, but if the facts are on your side then you should rebut, not ask for censorship.

Thanks for letting us know you don’t know what “censorship” means.

Enlighten us, please. Asking the moderator to delete or lock threads with which you disagree seems like “censorship” for purposes of this forum.

I didn’t invoke the First Amendment because obviously it doesn’t apply to a private website. But “censorship” seemed appropriate in this context.

IMO, the moderator should delete lies/misinformation/propaganda.

Which is all that the GOP has so...

Maybe if you don't want your crap deleted then maybe your party should come up with an actual platform.

I think the moderator does a very good job on the schools forums.

My big “issue” is the GOP misinformation/propaganda that has become so prevalent on DCUM. Very different than the “opposing views” we typically discuss.

The people complaining about the lack of grammar teaching in FCPS aren't GOP. And it isn't misinformation.

OK. And? Did someone call it misinformation? (I haven't)
