Yes, residents of Great Falls are best described as peasants. 🙄

Do you seriously think that only Great Falls residents are involved in recall petitions? You do realize this is a big county, right? Wow.

I don’t see a lot of my Region 3 neighbors working with you lot, but we’re just the poors so we don’t really matter.

I have heard from plenty of Region 3 parents in open FCPS.

Remember that lots of people in our area can’t be involved in recalls and other political activities because of their jobs (ex: the Hatch Act), so people might support a recall without being out there gathering signatures.

Well, between complaining about Democrats every chance and aligning themselves with Pete Snyder…

#openfcps two favorite politicians are democrats, fyi.

They are bipartisan.

Pete Snyder isn’t a Democrat.

I think you are looking at the wrong facebook page.

The two politicians who consistently receive praise from the #openfcps are both democrats.

One is the only moderate remaining on the school board, a center left democrat.

The other is one of the only moderate delegates left in northern Virginia. He is also a center left democrat.

The two of them receive almost daily praise on the #openfcps.

I haven't combed every post, but I think you would have to search long and hard to find even a mention of Pete Snyder on the #openfcps.

From the R side, Youngkin does get mentioned there now and then in a positive way. But not nearly as often and as glowingly as the two left of center democrate mentioned above.

You are spreading falsehoods.

#openfcps is a bipartisan group. They want moderates. Period.

And they want anything but the current radical far left school board we currently have, save the one moderate member.

The far-left Democrats - who now are in complete control of the party organizations and the School Board - hate Megan McLaughlin and Chap Petersen, who are too independent for their tastes. They fantasize endlessly about both getting primaried in the next election.

Nope. Making a big deal about bringing kids back to the classroom only to sit and stare at their computers WHILE THEIR TEACHERS CONTINUE TO “TEACH” FROM HOME is not a “return to in-person school.” It’s a charade.

Weren’t they advocating for a return to a normal classroom experience, not just the opportunity for their kids to watch their teachers remotely on a laptop from within a school building? Don’t quite follow your purity test here.

Region 3 parents sit back while Karen Corbett Sanders gets a ton of money spent on a West Potomac addition so no kids have to move to Mount Vernon. Don’t expect to get a lot of respect when you tolerate financial mismanagement on top of everything else. If Great Falls residents seem to take everything into their own hands, there might be a reason why.

This. I have zero patience with people like the PP. I couldn’t care less what your income is. Either get involved or not. No one’s interested in the huge chip on your shoulder.

Grow up.

Y’all first. Buncha whiny toddlers soiling their diapers because they didn’t get their way. Buck up and vote against them next time- or heck run yourselves! But that would require more than passive action and y’all know YOU couldn’t take the heat once you fail to live up to your neighbors’ lofty expectations.

Stopped reading at “y’all.”

Lol same. “Y’all” in a comment like this is a dead giveaway that the person writing is an early 20 something who spends way too much time being mad on Twitter and I have no interest at all in whatever nonsensical verbal diarrhea comes next.

There are no far-left Democrats in public office anywhere near here outside of PWC shitposter Lee Carter.

Just because your previous media outlet brands everything to the left of Reagan as “communist” doesn’t make it so.

Probably more accurate to describe the current brand of NoVa politicians as “far-left talking” since their decisions don’t necessarily align with their rhetoric. The second-rate politicians on the current School Board operate on cronyism and self-interest, not principle.

School Board members who pushed their own pet projects that also had nothing to do with getting kids back in classrooms don't deserve much sympathy.

What unions?

The ones for which the current School Board tries to set aside speaking slots.

Virginia teachers don’t have unions

The teacher's associations identify themselves as unions and the hair splitting is getting old.

It is not hair splitting. Having a Union means that the Union negotiates the contract and then member vote on that contract. Now, FCPS just issues its own contract and each teacher signs individually. There is no negotiation.

At a minimum, it appears that, by July, there will be enough signatures to recall Elaine Tholen to require her to show cause why she should not be unseated.

What does that mean? “Show cause”?

Show that she was fulfilling her duties/responsibilities as a member which should be pretty easy to do.

It means the burden of proof is on the official who is the subject of the recall petition to convince the judge she did not engage in the misconduct claimed in the petition signed by thousands of county residents. The official can’t just sit back and hope the judge tosses out the recall petition as bogus.

When the school board is so far left that a classical liberal like McLaughlin starts to look like a right winger in comparison, it leaves no doubt that thebother school hoard members are far left.

Omeish and Friach are far left extremists. Cohen is hard left too. The rest are very, very left leaning without a moderate or even centrist liberal among them.

I actually believe that the superintendent is probably a centrist. But his school board bosses are such far left ideologues, and he lacks the leadership to reign them in.
