ACPS *is* training teachers to integrate CRT into the classroom and is even encouraging staff to use resources such as White Teachers Need Anti-Racist Therapy."

Where did she post that? Definitely not reading the crowd 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

What group?? 👀

This FB group that started out as citizens concerned about the narrowing of Seminary Road but eventually morphed into a sort of right wing conspiracy theory page. It’s fascinating and terrifying at the same time. The page blames every traffic jam and flood in Alexandria City on Justin Wilson personally and gripes about every little inconvenience. Also lots of racist dog whistling. Many of us just watch in horror from a safe distance. But it’s eye-opening to see how many neighbors in our community think.

Ugh I bet my old boss is on there.

She isn't but Mollie Hemingway is! Cringe.

I still can't find any campaign information online for PreeAnn Johnson in B. I like that she's on the ballot and doesn't seem to be doing anything. She'll win for sure.

Johnson has an ad today in the Alexandria Times.

There is a lot of discussion up thread on her. She represents everything wrong with ACPS.

Ah, going for the Geriatrics who think Alexandria = Old Town and it should be a gated community demographic.

I'm voting for Johnson just to irritate her haters. And I don't even have any kids!

And you will be perpetuating ACPS’s failures by doing so.

People without a stake don't care. Utter self-absorbtion.

No. One voter, treating ACPS and the school board like the joke they are, doesn't perpetuate the failures.

The fawning ACPS parents and PTAC "leadership" are the ones that are perpetuating ACPS's failures.

They actively deny that there are problems and work to shut down people who speak out. I've watched it many times over many years and they are brutal, delight in their vicious behavior and enjoy their misguided sense of righteousness that comes along with it.

They are the ones who won't ask tough questions of any of the new school board candidates or the incumbents. They'd rather pretend it's a good school system rather than demanding that it actually be a good school system.

I'm not the PP but if you want to place blame it shouldn't be with people like the above poster.

All the people you name also perpetuate ACPS’s failures (probably to a greater extent) but any vote for Johnson and her ilk is a problem.

Uh, the "discussion" is by a bunch of people slinging what they imagine to be zingers because she didn't kowtow to their great whiteness. PreeAnn understands kids and she understands schools. She leads by being out in front. She will not be bullied. She has the votes from all the voters in our household and we are proud to say that.

Nope. Johnson was stubborn and unwilling to respond to reasonable parent concerns. I don’t why commenters like you bring race into it but it seems like you are contending Johnson is racist. I don’t know if that true or not but I know her poor leadership is exemplified by Polk’s horrible SOL scores this past school year. She represents everything wrong with ACPS.
