Will the school board listen, or are they going to charge full bore into the boundary changes. Hard to think of an issue that can turn off the professional class quicker than depriving their kids of an education.

what?

A couple typos in my prior post. The jist is that it is an opinion piece about how the Dems might want to consider catering to the professional class rather than dwell in solely identity politics.

I hope the school board reads it, would be good for them to broaden their perspective on this.

You’re not accurately characterizing the opinion piece, but local Democrats will indeed lose support in Fairfax if they impose boundary changes without a very compelling reason. But it’s Republicans who will continue to lose in Fairfax if they wage culture wars.

It’s a point raised in the opinion piece, even if there are other points made.

Think you a bit confused about which side is waging the culture war. But Republicans have little chance with so many low intellect residents in Fairfax County.

Hmm. If you actually look at statistics, Democrats fare much better with the professional class and republicans with the less educated demographic.

And, there is the "rub." You assume that being "educated" depends on degrees. I happen to fall in the category you describe--I have a Master's degree plus. DH. as well. However, I do not assume that people without degrees are not "educated."
Do you really think the people on our School Board are smart? Some of them may be by your standards. But, common sense is lacking.

Many people without degrees are smarter than you and I. Quit labeling people. Lots of people without degrees are well read and deep thinkers.

Perhaps, you should get out more.

I think it just comes down to people being willing to support students in the county up to a point, but when they start using Fairfax students as the resource to help under performing schools it’ll get ugly real fast.

They both wage culture wars but the culture wars waged by Republicans running for office in Fairfax lose elections. The proof is in the results. Responding to this by calling some of the most highly educated voters in the country “low intellect” won’t change the outcome.

And so you know I only voted for one Democrat in the last SB elections. I told the Republican running in our district to focus more on academics and facilities and less on library books and bathroom access. He did, eventually, but by then it was too late given the advantages Ds have.

Will that change if there are big boundary changes that people don’t want? Possibly, but there’s no guarantee.

+1 people will always draw the line at making their own kid be the guinea pig.

+ a million. I have taught low income children for 25 years. I have contributed so much of my time and money to helping low income students. I draw the line at having my child being used in this way.

From CNN:

“A 58% majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say that the Democratic Party needs major changes, or to be completely reformed, up from just 34% who said the same after the 2022 midterm elections.”

I’m one of them. Local Dems should be focused on aligning with the Fairfax professional base, rather than pickings fight with us by going after their kids with unnecessary boundary changes.

Why do they have to align with you? Democratic voters will reliably vote blue no matter who in Fairfax County in every election for every office. They will not be deterred and frankly, this is what you voted for.

I mean, I guess you’re right that they don’t have to try to win elections. But this would be their way back from exile - stop with the extremely progressive nonsense.
