Ma’am this is a Wendy’s drive through. |
It almost is when you consider that the one Republican will endorse and campaign for Trump this time next year, and use her position to set up trumps campaign in fairfax county. |
What are you going on about? Why would having a seat on a school board “position” anyone to set up a campaign for a national office candidate? Unless of course you’re Karl Frisch, raking in hundreds of thousands from big donors (in his case, LBGTQ activists from NYC and California). Which isn’t the case with any local GOP-endorsed candidates, who are mostly local parents. |
The schools are not doing well since they have turned to fascism. Let’s hope the new School Board can get rid of the fascist policies pushed by the current board and the outside activists that have influenced such policies. |
What an absolutely idiotic take. Plenty of Republicans are anti-Trump at this point. The PP is right - get a grip. DP |
+1 Amazing how the actual fascists don't even understand what they've become. |
Every time a failure or flaw of this board is pointed out, a (likely local Dem operative) starts with the off the wall claims. The local dems can’t defend their records. |
Nope. I'm literally paraphrasing some actual posts just before mine. ![]() |
This thread is about GOP-endorsed candidates. There aren't any reasonable GOP candidates this election so hard pass on voting R. And apparently no rational R voters either based on comments on this thread. |
The local dems can’t defend their records.
All they can do is scaremonger. |
Well, what did you expect? Dems are all about hyperbole: Fascism! Nazism! Hitler! I mean, seriously? When discussing school board candidates? It's disgusting and insulting to those who actually lived (and died) in 1940s Europe. |
Exactly. |
Honestly I’ve always been liberal leaning but I plan on voting Republican for school board.
Why? Because our schools are a mess. Our kids are not doing well. Putting most of our focus on LBGQT issues (literally 1-5 % of the population) INSTEAD of actually EDUCATING, paying teachers, getting iPads out of the classroom, renovating facilities is the goal! it sends a message to the current school board that their current is not accepted and we want change! This is the only thing that will send a message for the next election |
This! And the democrats running for open seats will be no different than their predecessors. Their main focus is equity and not academics.
In fact, in their obsession with closing the achievement gap, the current Board and Gatehouse are resorting to closing the gap “from the top down,” by eliminating or watering down advanced classes as much as possible. |
The Democrats on the current School Board and those running for the first time all seem to have one thing in common: they think that their incompetence and lack of attention to the basic needs of a public school system (academics, facilities, student accountability) can all be forgiven and overlooked as long as they squawk about other candidates not being “moderates.” At this point, it’s old hat - we need some folks ready to shake up their echo chamber. |
