He’s not trying to inflate his credentials either. Since she already has all the endorsements, Zuraya should just be honest she doesn’t have much experience.

But Zuraya does have experience, she worked at Meta, the parent company of FB and Instagram.

“Meta the company that owns Facebook and Instagram has for years relied on both social media platforms to keep children and teenagers engaged for as long as possible in order to gather personal data and sell it to advertisers, a group of state prosecutors alleged in a recently unsealed complaint.

Attorneys general in 33 states filed a federal lawsuit against Meta in October, although the details at the time were not immediately released. The complaint, unsealed Wednesday, unveils more specifics, such as allegations from state prosecutors that Meta harmed young users on Facebook and Instagram through the use of highly manipulative algorithms and technological tools. that was accused by attorney generals in 33 states for creating addictive technology for youth to keep them hooked “

This is ridiculous. I’m voting for Kathleen and Chen but don’t need to drag Zuraya through the mud.

And we’re surprised no one more qualified wants to run for school board.

What did Zuraya do at Meta? She's a lobbyist right?

You sound like someone who has never served. Go sit down.

Oh I have served. That is why I have a problem with a board member who has not.

You really think Zuraya is qualified? Based on what?

I notice the Zuraya booster has nothing to say to this.

Zuraya booster here. None of the three other candidates are qualified. But alas, there's two seats open. I'm voting for Zuraya because I absolutely do not trust Chen's claims and promises and Larry should have run a decade ago.

I hear you. I'm considering doing the same. But tell your candidate she would be more appealing if she admits what she doesn't know.

Zuraya “booster” yet again. Kathleen’s my #1. Aren’t we all talking about #2? Or just me.

No one else is qualified. I stand by voting Zuraya as #2. The best of a lousy bunch.

(Excluding Kathleen. Because I need to spell it out with crayons.)

DP, not a Zuraya fan or booster.

I’m actually okay with lobbyists running for SB. APS could use some help in that department down in Richmond rn.

And let’s not pretend that some of you Arlington parents aren’t federal/state lobbyists too. APE seems to have a lot of them spreading tears about “learning loss”

APE itself is a lobbying org now (anti-education).

I hope someone better runs as an Independent. ACDC runs this town, but maybe with our truly crappy selection, that second seat will be up for grabs. I can hope, right?

Yeah, these no pathway to winning for an independent. Everybody votes lockstep D here. Which wouldn't be a problem if ACDC didn't try to control every single damn thing. I blame them 100% that I even have to vote for Chen, Zuraya or Larry.

I don't like the APE lobbyists AT ALL. What's your point?

Can you explain how APE is anti education? I don't like them, just wasn't aware that this is their new thing.

Does anyone know Zuraya’s stance on phones in the classroom? Given her employment history with Meta ( parent company of Facebook and Instagram) and her current position with another entertainment giant, it is really important to know if she is going to be helping or hindering those companies to get clicks during the school day.

The point is that people right here are accusing Zuraya of being a lobbyist, like it's a bad thing that she is one or was one. (Doesn't she work for a Spanish TV station or something like that?) Someone astutely just pointed out that many of APE's leadership are lobbyists too.

You are just reaching now, aren't you? She doesn't work for Facebook/Meta anymore.

Go to a debate and just ask her if you're so interested.

I know the crazies on here love to speculate that Chen is the APE sleeper candidate. I asked someone very involved in APE who they were supporting. They said Kathleen Clark and undecided on #2.

From the other Arlington School Board candidate thread

“Maybe Zuraya can offer insider info on exactly how many students in Arlington are streaming during the school day since she works for TelevisaUnivision.

They must have data on how many youth they have tuning in and using their services/apps during school hours. But I’m being too cynical, I’m sure it’s only “educational” programming students are accessing during the school day!

Would love to hear what knowledge Zuraya has on this subject.”
