QFT. It was the total opposite of cool, decent, and normal procedure.

Who are you talking about? What principal? What group?

Fairfax Alliance of Black School Educators (FABSE).

No. But we do hire— or fire in 2023– the people who hire the Superintendent. If she’s a mess, the Board gets voted out (which will probably happen anyway), we buy out her contract and we do this again.

Democracy.

I really hope this happens if they appoint Reid or someone similar as the next superintendent. It's such an FU to parents who have been pleading for some balance when it comes to FCPS decision-making to appoint a superintendent who is effectively the carbon copy of someone like Melanie Meren or Abrar Omeish in terms of a total embrace of far-left politics/policy.

She’s an assistant superintendent. Area 3

Not sure who you are talking about. The president of the organization, according to the link, is the principal of Frost Middle School.

Well, it’s all going to be sorted out tonight!

How large do you think that group is?

We voted in this board. Why would we expect, or those who voted them in, for the board to elect someone who does not match their views?

Exactly. The Open FCPS group (and whatever their new name is) is a very loud minority in Fairfax. Most of us like books, librarians, teaching full history, and not stigmatizing groups of students.

They are too stupid to recognize their own weaknesses so of course they want someone who is just like them. One more nail in the coffin for FCPS.

In other words open schools, academics, and sound oversight of how a $3.4B system spends its money don’t matter as long as we continue to mouth platitudes about “equity” (has the actual gap between Langley and Mount Vernon ever been wider) and celebrate librarians who make “Gender Queer” and “Lawn Boy” the Books of the Month. Got it.

Ignore them at your peril - they brought you Youngkin. He needed their votes even in blue Fairfax.

Less than a third of Fairfax voted for Mong Youngkin. Fairfax didn’t fall for his propaganda.

My point is - he needed those votes to win.
