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.

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*.

You've giving "I'm going to vote for Donald Trump because I don't trust Hillary Clinton" vibes.

More like, I’d vote for any Republican over Trump to keep Trump out.

Nope, you're rooting for the man that is very clearly unqualified and unfit for office over an experienced and involved woman who knows the issues. You're on the Trump side. Sorry.

She’s no Hillary.

And how is Angelo “unfit”?

BUT HER EMAILSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

To steal a comment from an ARLNOW commenter:

Since you asked: (1) His first proposal was to make Plan B available in every high school bathroom; (2) He promoted himself as someone who worked for Beyer, when he was a volunteer (probably door knocker); (3) His website claims that he is an "Arlington story" because he greeted veterans at BWI and supported voter registration in Alexandria (geography much?); (4) He published a statement that he was withdrawing from the race, and then blamed suggestions that he was withdrawing on "rumors"; (5) He claims to serve on the APS School Health Advisory Board, but public records show he has only attended one meeting; and generally (6) If you have watched him in his last two debates, it becomes apparent that he knows nothing about the issues that plague APS.

He’s as “fit” as many of former SB members.

And he hasn’t stood by as partners bullied APS teachers, staff, and parents.

BUT HER EMAILS!!!!!1111

Seriously, that's 100% what you sound like.

I’m holding her accountable for her actions. She chose bullying over APS.

I don’t trust her with our schools.

"I am holding her accountable for the actions of other people and supporting an unqualified man because I'm very very bitter."

EMAAAAAIIILLLLLLS

The “emails” didn’t actually do any harm, unlike the bullying and hostility (which we are seeing again here - shocker).

Miranda is an adult and made her own choices. When it came down to it, she didn’t choose APS. Therefore, I don’t trust her to make decisions for APS.

I’ll take a fresh positive, perspective over someone who has demonstrated that, when push comes to shove, she doesn’t support APS.

What does it mean to choose APS? Some of us really want the local schools to succeed. And you can really like something and question it. We are not all supposed to be in agreement with everything the Superintendent does all the time. I correct my kids when they make mistakes. I have discussions with my partner where we disagree. I am OK voting for SB for someone who disagreed with the decisions previously made. The fact that she disagreed with Goldstein or Duran does not negate all the work she has done as an APS parent. The endorsement of Angelo by Reid Goldstein is buffoonery quite frankly.

[Anonymous]

Campaign contributions are public, right? When do we get to find out who hated Miranda enough to pay for Angelo to stay in?

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.

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.

https://www.unesco.org/en/covid-19/education-response
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/05/briefing/school-closures-covid-learning-loss.html

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

She will go to bat for APS students. That is sorely lacking on the school board. I am OK voting for someone who puts students first. Also, I am confused as to why that is such a polemical choice.

You can’t support students with out supporting teachers and staff. And parents to some extent.

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?

Still, crickets.

+1. I don't trust Miranda's judgment at all based on her already having shown us her values. Easy choice for me. Apparently for Reid as well. His endorsement of Angelo is very telling. Pay attention -- or don't at your peril.

Exactly.

You “correct your kids when they make mistakes”?

That mentality may be the root of the APE discourse. The issue wasn’t “questioning” or “discussing” decisions. It was the aggressive parents commanding/screaming at everyone else. They ignored other viewpoints and tried to get their way via bullying. They did not attempt to understand/address the various issues or engage constructively with other stakeholders. They steamrolled over other viewpoints.

Miranda demonstrated that she was comfortable with this behavior.

Hard pass.

Based on what I've seen of Miranda on AEM, and in the Stockton endorsement, is that she will be focused on APS's awful achievement gaps. That should be the the focus of and goal of diversity and inclusion initiatives IMO.

Well, she has endorsements from teachers - including one who is also former ACDC Chair - and other APS staff and fellow volunteers. Angelo has Reid - an apparently bitter and vindictive out-going school board member willing to put personal resentments above the greater interests of schools.

Angelo has no fellow volunteer endorsements cited on his website. oh, wait, perhaps that's because he hasn't volunteered except for attending one meeting of a committee he's supposedly so involved in!

Miranda's website also includes information in Spanish. Angelo? No indication of reaching out to minority communities beyond his personal experience as a poor white child growing up in West Virginia.

Miranda's "actions" are outlined on her website. Her website far outweighs little Angelo's in (1) information (2) substance and (3) APS resume. So, no, Miranda's actions do NOT demonstrate that she will not go to bat for teachers, staff, parents, or - the most important group which you seemed not worthy of mentioning - students.

You expect that she will discourage APS from "fluffy diversity and inclusion initiatives".

Interesting how you’re tripling down on the unqualified man.

I agree. It's amazing how much harder a woman has to work to be seen as more qualified than a mediocre man with an inflated sense of self.

This is the crux.

More like, I’d vote for any Republican over Trump to keep Trump out.

Nope, you're rooting for the man that is very clearly unqualified and unfit for office over an experienced and involved woman who knows the issues. You're on the Trump side. Sorry.

She’s no Hillary.

And how is Angelo “unfit”?

BUT HER EMAILSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

To steal a comment from an ARLNOW commenter:

Since you asked: (1) His first proposal was to make Plan B available in every high school bathroom; (2) He promoted himself as someone who worked for Beyer, when he was a volunteer (probably door knocker); (3) His website claims that he is an "Arlington story" because he greeted veterans at BWI and supported voter registration in Alexandria (geography much?); (4) He published a statement that he was withdrawing from the race, and then blamed suggestions that he was withdrawing on "rumors"; (5) He claims to serve on the APS School Health Advisory Board, but public records show he has only attended one meeting; and generally (6) If you have watched him in his last two debates, it becomes apparent that he knows nothing about the issues that plague APS.

He’s as “fit” as many of former SB members.

And he hasn’t stood by as partners bullied APS teachers, staff, and parents.

BUT HER EMAILS!!!!!1111

Seriously, that's 100% what you sound like.

I’m holding her accountable for her actions. She chose bullying over APS.

I don’t trust her with our schools.

"I am holding her accountable for the actions of other people and supporting an unqualified man because I'm very very bitter."

EMAAAAAIIILLLLLLS

The “emails” didn’t actually do any harm, unlike the bullying and hostility (which we are seeing again here - shocker).

Miranda is an adult and made her own choices. When it came down to it, she didn’t choose APS. Therefore, I don’t trust her to make decisions for APS.

I’ll take a fresh positive, perspective over someone who has demonstrated that, when push comes to shove, she doesn’t support APS.

Interesting how you’re tripling down on the unqualified man.

I agree. It's amazing how much harder a woman has to work to be seen as more qualified than a mediocre man with an inflated sense of self.

This is the crux.

It's not about qualifications. Miranda is qualified. It's about the values she brings, which I have seen clearly based on her past involvements and are lacking to me.

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.

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*.

It's not about qualifications or vaginas.

It comes down to trust. Miranda has already shown us her priorities. I believe her.

Should we go there? Maybe we should. While we're at it, let's see all the people who usually donate to Republicans now donating to Miranda. Can't Republicans run their own candidate instead of trying to slip one in under the radar through the Dem caucus process. Follow the money.
