I am by no means a political activist nor a nutty liberal, but any candidate who underlines these three points as their big identifying issues has lost me.)

Please tell me which candidates are genuinely invested in working to raise academic standards without emphasizing those particular gender/sexuality points.

Other books banned by activists that are worth reading to understand the genuine concern of parents at FCPS about gender ideology activism at our schools, particularly because of its effect on kids who identify as experiencing body dysmorphia:

1. Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness by Miriam Grossman, MD.
2. Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Tales from the Home Front in the Fight to Save Our Kids by Josie A. and Dina S.
3. Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier.

This book isn't based on data -- it's an opinion piece by someone who is anti-trans.

So it should be banned?

Banned where? By whom?

DP. Democrats claim books are “banned” if they’re not included in libraries - regardless of how age-appropriate they are (or aren’t). By this “logic,” Irreversible Damage must be banned from our high school libraries because it’s not there. The question is, why isn’t it?

Because the HS librarians don’t think teens want to read conservative propaganda that is full of misinformation?

So much for allowing students to read materials and drawing their own conclusions. Censorship is fine when it furthers the trans agenda and encourages kids who are still maturing to remove their breasts or reproductive organs if they think it might possibly make them feel more comfortable in their own skin.

Schools are not “encouraging kids to remove breasts or reproductive organs”.

Stop lying.

Yes, they prefer teens read liberal propaganda that is full of misinformation - not to mention, graphic sex. That truly is so much better. And not making sure the other side of this issue is available is really just so intelligent and open-minded.

None of the YA books mentioned are “liberal propaganda” or have misinformation. Do you even know what those words mean?

If “the other side” is just lies and misinformation then I think the librarians can skip it.

Most of them will be gone (at least 8 of the current 12). What’s important now is making sure the next board isn’t yet another echo chamber with a narrow agenda (one that has everything to do with currying favor with one segment of a political party’s base and little to do with academics or education).

https://victoryfund.org/candidate/lady-robyn/

Karl Frisch does not even have children, let along children in FCPS. He is a lifelong political activist whose far-left, special-interest policies have been a disaster for learning in FCPS.

He is the last person who should be re-elected, because he obviously does not care about academics and will put learning last on his list of priorities.

If McDaniel and Lady are associated with Frisch, they just lost my vote too.

Explain

Pandemic in person school closure for one full year - no additional info needed.

How is virtual school during a global pandemic a "far-left, special-interest policy"?

Republicans think the public forgot about the 1.2 million people killed by Covid which would’ve been far worse without closures. No one liked closures, but most people weren’t so self centered about it. According to them, democrats just woke up one day and randomly said “hey let’s just close schools for sh%ts and giggles.”

I'm not sure what kind of psychopath you have to be to force teachers into schools prior to vaccines and prior to the peak of the pandemic (Jan 2021), but I guess psychopath and Republican are synonymous.

Nice that you called our Dem gov a psychopath - a LOTs of other places who were smart enough to go back to school with Ds - like Rhode Island.

We had vaccines by then, brainiac.

Why thank you - I am a brainiac and I have receipts to support me unlike you - Northam said we could go back to hybrid in fall 2020 before vaccines. And here is Providence, Rhode Island in person before vaccines too:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/21/us/coronavirus-schools-rhode-island-providence.html

In Providence, more than 70 percent of the district’s roughly 22,600 students have returned to their classrooms. The district is 68 percent Latino, 15 percent Black, 6.5 percent white and 4 percent Asian. Eighty-five percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

A key part of what has made Providence different has been Rhode Island’s governor, Gina Raimondo, who pushed strongly for schools to reopen for in-person instruction, saying that remote learning was leaving disadvantaged students behind.

Raimondo is a D, like I was saying.

It was obvious from the beginning that closing schools would hurt the poorest students the most.

The dems (leadership) didn’t care.

Sounds like you care about equity after all. LOL. Drudging up "the poors" when it suits you . . .

The people who swear they care so much, who had the power to directly affect the education of the most vulnerable used that power to hurt them.
Your snide comments won’t change that.
