Who is Walt? I was just drawing attention to Matt’s new documentary, What is a Woman, and noting that his appearance before the LCPS board was shown in the film. And it’s probably the best one minute segment in the entire public comment period. |
Again, why does this person have any interest in LCPS? He lives in...Maryland, right? And his children aren't even in public school. I have a child in LCPS. I'm certainly not some progressive liberal by any stretch of the imagination, but this push from outsiders or people who don't even have children in LCPS is ridiculous. |
It's because Loudoun is *just* purple enough, it has become testing grounds for taking over school boards. It's happening everywhere though, not just in Nova. My friend in TX recently texted me, amazed the same stuff is starting to happen with their school board, with the same tactic's as well. |
"Taking over school boards" is a reaction to what the left has been doing for years. My school board is packed with members who ran as "just a mom who cares about her kids and property values" and ended up being full-blown socialists advertising IWW meetings on their Facebook pages. They've also done everything they can to keep parents quiet at school board meetings, such as keeping the meetings on Zoom long after they needed to and only allowing one person to speak per topic. You expect there to be no reaction at all? |
By this logic, why are people in VA up in arms about school related laws in FL? It doesn’t affect them, right? |
The people who are driving this educate their children via homeschooling or private. They have no interest in ever enrolling their kids in a public school. |
True, but remember all those articles & Facebook quotes about how parents shouldn’t decide what’s taught, schools should teach kids what “society” needs them to know, and “the client of public schools isn’t parents, it’s the public”? I agree that people should be concerned about their own local school systems & not what some other state does. |
Yup. They are pretty obvious. |
Ouch, good point! |
They’re “up in arms” because censorious, anti-LGBT moves in Florida may be a harbinger of things to come here, if Republicans get their way. Are NoVa parents going all the way to Florida to yell at school boards? I doubt it. |
Ok, so people on the right fear (insert whatever they fear) may be coming to a school near THEM soon. See how that works? Make a consistent argument. It either is or is not okay to protest things that happen in other states/school districts. |
