| The part where they hired the "team mom" as an actual special ed teacher, I wonder if she even has a license |

Ugh, this is terrible however the article is written by good old Asra Nomani. No wonder it was posted here and we’re being kept up to date. |

Sure, she hates FCPS, but Hayfield administration is sleazy and makes it look worse. |

According to the VDOE license lookup, she does. According to LinkedIn, she was recently a teacher in PWCS. |

I don't read things by MAGA or give it any value. I also don't care about a random HS and football. I do care about FCPS grading policies. |

You, as a Fairfax county taxpayer. are paying to education 30 kids who actually live in Prince William County. You are also paying salaries to all these football coach guys who finagled jobs they aren't qualified for at Hayfield. You care about grading? Apparently these kids transferred with As in the spring from PWC and then immediately were getting Ds and Fs in their FCPS courses. Draw any conclusion you wish from that. There is nothing MAGA about the article. What a weird statement. |

The author is MAGA. The situation is terrible and needs to be dealt with but the PP is questioning the motives of the author. |

Who cares what the journalist's political viewpoints are? |

I think that the article has no political implications unless people feel they just have to bring that up.
If it’s OK to have students outside of the county fake residency to play on our football teams, then that should be advertised “Come to FCPS no matter where you live”! It is also silly to shoot the messenger, the co-author of the article. |

Like many on DCUM, you don't remotely understand athletics. As one who participated at the highest level, yet at the same time did exceedingly well in higher education, I am perplexed why you are missing the fundamental point here. Let's put high school football in perspective. There is no way a public high school should be establishing a program to attract out of county students through the misuse of a social program. You may care only about grading policies, but the corrupting influence of establishing a football team with a high school attached to it - along with a culture which coddles the kids - especially in an environment where black males don't perform well scholastically - should concern you. And the reporter is irrelevant. There are enough facts to demonstrate that there are real problems with what Hayfield is doing. The description of the coach is interesting. He obtains only marginal employment at the school - like a security job but without school resource officer responsibilities - he simply is a paid professional coach. And an interesting formula, too. Under the guise of King Football, he teams are not large in numbers (in my day high school football teams became good recruiting large numbers of 9th graders and developing them). This is so because he recruits. The teams are disciplined and tough - a good thing in one way but in another reflective of a coach selling a D1 scholarship dream (which is a dead end for some kids). How anyone thinks this does not impact the academic integrity of the school is beyond me - and only caring about grading policies encourages the rot. |

If it okay for prince william county and DC kids to go to the FCPS high school of their choice to play football, then every child at Lewis, Mount Vernon and Herndon with willing parents should be able to sign up at any high performing high school with space available, no questions asked. |

At least one author is MAGA |

I don't trust her "facts" as I think MAGA is known for offering opinions and lying. |
