I understand a few people have such a grudge that they'll vote for him as a protest vote, but would you really want to trust this 22 year old with $800M of our tax revenue and our kids' education?

Better than someone who thought that abusing teachers, Duran, and other parents was acceptable behavior.

That shows, at best, poor judgment. At worst…

Either way, not someone who should be on the SB.

So, yes, he is the more trustworthy candidate.

I know this has been pointed out to you repeatedly, but Miranda Turner never abused and teachers, Duran, or other parents. You're holding onto that grudge as hard as you, but your positions were wrong. We know that now but you just can't let it go.

I know this has been pointed out to you repeatedly, but Miranda Turner personally chose to partner and lead a group of parents who were abusive towards teachers, staff, and other parents. 100% her choice to do that.

Has her personal judgment or moral code changed since then? Has she apologized for any of that?

She has nothing to apologize for. She is not responsible for other people's actions. Have you apologized for letting your fear keep schools closed longer than necessary and the subsequent academic and socioemotional fallout that is disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable students?

She’s responsible for her actions. She *chose* to work with these people. For years.

I know it enrages you, but Arlington Parents for Education is doing effective, informed advocacy in APS. It's not a black mark to be involved in founding it. You need to let go of the past. You were wrong. Move on.

The fact that APE is still telling other parents YOU WERE WRONG tells me everything I need to know about this group's current mindset. Hard pass on their leader.

There are people that see him as the only viable option. And being on a school board in this day and age is a thankless job, so the competition is light.

Based on what I've seen in posted videos, Reid's endorsement isn't going to age well. But the Stockton endorsement is a real coup for MT.

Are you kidding? No one knows who Stockton is, or cares about a rando from Maryland.

But keep trying to pretend it's a bigger deal than an endorsement from the current board chair. When are you people going to start taking Angelo seriously?

Brian Stockton was with APS. He's not a rando MoCo guy.

The people I know who are most keyed in definitely know who stockton is, had relationships with him and are definitely shocked about this endorsement. Good for her for getting it.

Agreed! I'm glad to see he wasn't really part of the closed-school cabal that Duran spearheaded. This is an important endorsement for Miranda showing that Stockton is in favor of a fresh approach that puts learning excellence back at the center of education and gets us away from all COVID-fear and fluffy diversity and inclusion initiatives.

So Miranda is going to fight against diversity and inclusion initiatives?

I’m still trying to understand why PP believes that Miranda is going to fight against diversity and inclusion initiatives. Is that something she’s telling her APE people behind closed doors? Most APE leaders now are Republicans.

What exactly is she promising them?

I would really like to know this answer too.

This posting board is now getting into some "stop the steal" vibes.

I highly doubt we have all liked and 100% personally aligned with everyone we've ever "chosen" to work with.
Do you blame students for "choosing" to participate on a team with teammates who exhibit poor sportsmanship? Do you blame elected leaders for "choosing" to work with unethical other electeds?

I'm not even in the group, I'm just pointing out history is not on your side. You're encouraging people to vote for a person with no knowledge of life or the APS system at all because you are so bitter about the past. That is bonkers.

I’m concerned for the future. She has demonstrated poor judgment and stood by as people abused teachers, staff, and other parents. I don’t trust her to support teachers, APS, or parents *in the future*.

I actually am starting to feel sorry for this kid. It seems he had no clue what he was getting into and is being used. But vote for him? No.

Her actions in the APS community demonstrated that she won’t go to bat for APS teachers, staff, and parents.
