It’s literally the opposite; she’s getting attacked for where she lives with (false) claims about where she’s sent her kids to school. Just in this thread someone called her a “white savior” just for where she lives, it’s ridiculous. |
NP This whole post is ridiculous. Some people clearly want to smear and cause damage to the next school board member. If she’s that awful, and I doubt she is, then put your money where your mouth is run for SB yourself. Otherwise time to move on and shut up. |
She is accountable for her actions. She founded and led a group that was hostile to teachers, staff, and other parents. The only reason she's on the ballot is because she got very lucky with the endorsement vote. |
+1 |
A fact that applies to numerous board members, past and present. |
Be real. I wouldn’t send my kids to Drew and neither would you. |
We have been over this. Her kids went to the Montessori program back when it was housed in the same building as Drew. Not the same thing at all. So now it's relevant that she once lived in Africa? Even if true, that's like saying I'm not racist, I have a black friend. |
Maybe not but it doesn't matter because I'm not running for the Arlington School Board while claiming I'm not avoiding black people. Miranda is. |
Smear and damage? Funny you mention that because I actually know several parents who would make great school board candidates but they didn't want to run after watching Miranda/APE smear and cause damage to school board members, parents, teachers. APE/Miranda poisoned the climate and scared off all these good candidates. They knew what they were doing. They had to open the field for Miranda, as it was quite obvious she had no chance against any real candidate after getting spanked by Kadera and then she didn't even try against Sutton. |
Yes but Miranda's tenure is just beginning. People are not going to magically stop talking about her or magically start liking her. |
Exactly. I wouldn't care where she lives except she's trying to use it to score points to show how enlightened she is. If she's going to do that, then people are certainly going to wonder why she won't send her kids to the neighborhood school. With the blacks. |
I can't think of anyone else whose only competition was a 20 something newbie without any ties to APS but ok. |
Of course not, but if you tout the fact that you live in a historically black neighborhood as a selling point, then maybe you should consider how it looks when the neighborhood school that the blacks go to isn't good enough for your own white kids. |
Cry harder, folks. |
What is APE?? |
