Correction: HJ, Nomani, and their Koch associates bullied and forced BQ out in an effort to push right-wing agenda. |
No argument here. |
Agreed. Hope the new class of 2025 votes them out in 2 years. And shows up at meetings to keep an eye out. |
| OP here. Thanks everyone. I'm well aware of the change in leadership and the reduction in finger-pointy emails and posts. Just wasn't sure if the VA PTA was done interfering in a local school's PTSA or if they were still at it.. Looks like that drama is still unresolved. |
Was that meant to be a witty comeback? Pls. don't give up your day job (assuming you have one). |
It won't be a hard sell. All they have to do is post the articles in which HJ openly states that the process that selected them is illegitimate. He'll still be president for another year but they can easily vote out the rest of the old status-quo crew and bring on a new president-elect who can form a coalition with the other officers to greatly reduce HJ's influence. |
Who is this Harry Jackson? What does he stand for? What's his history and ties to education and TJ ? |
He is the step-father of a student in the Class of 2024. |
Yet HJ is a Democrat and socially left-leaning. Also BQ was the bully that harassed members of the EC, not the other way around. |
Whatever he calls himself, he partnered with known Koch associates to push right-wing agenda (anti CRT) and oust the old board. It was so bad that VA PTA stepped in. His actions speak loudly. |
Which Koch associates? |
Parents Defending Education is full of them. https://fedsoc.org/contributors/nicoleneily https://ij.org/staff/rachel-hannabass/ Trump appointees: Richey https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/trump-and-devos-announce-new-hires-at-education-department/2017/06 Aimee Viana https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/the-controversial-couple-heading-trumps-hispanic-education-efforts/2018/09 |
The VA PTA stepped before he even took office. Also the narrative that BQ was bullied is a lie. The woman had multiple racial incidents prior to her resigning, first voting against him in the nominating committee process because she thought people would vote for him because he is black, and then insulting him in Facebook groups telling parents he couldn't read. Bonnie being a sexist bigot is what got her into trouble. |
It is possible that both parties in a conflict can display bullying behaviors. Honestly, as I've gone deeper into this conflict, it's pretty obvious that there are no heroes and that pretty much everyone involved is a villain - but I refuse to equate the two sides because one of them (HJ) has essentially called the Class of 2025 illegitimate on multiple public platforms. |
Stop trying to gaslight. Here is why VA PTA stepped in - because of HJ's (and his Koch buddies) hostile takeover - detailed here: https://files.constantcontact.com/7c20eee7001/475bb51a-8940-469c-bf77-c3e0e53b42b7.pdf |
