I don't think we're missing anything. Who said anything about causation? The entire article is about the CORRELATION between the nutty anti LGBTQ set and the nutty open schools set.

You are implying that her wanting schools open means she associates with these views. That's not the case.

I’m curious to know what the ACDC thinks about MT. Do they view her as a conservative trying to wedge her way in, or are they content enough to endorse her if she wins in the caucus? The only way she doesn’t win the seat is if there’s an “independent” who runs in the general election, which in Arlington is typically code for Republican, but in this case would be a late-filing Democrat (I’m assuming the filing deadline for the caucus has passed, but not for the general election- or am I wrong on those points?).

You are really stretching. There is literally not even a hint of this in her personal statements or campaign materials, etc.

--someone who has actually engaged with her directly and personally and could not be less worried about this as a possibility

Of course she is too smart to put this kind of stuff in her campaign materials or to say it out loud. But she didn't run away from it either, and she embraced those in the group that she led. I was in APE for a little while. People have choices about who to associate with and their choices are telling. I left when I realized who else was in APE with me and that those views were welcomed. It made me very uncomfortable. Miranda, on the other hand, led the group.

Exactly. CHOOSING to partner with these people for years? At best, that shows bad judgment. At worst…

Either way, hard pass.

Are you employed? You seem to sit on this board at all hours waiting to express your dislike of MT. We know she's a hard pass for you. You've said it several times.

I think it's very disturbing that you think a NYT article proves that MT is anti-LGBTQ and that she's harboring her right wing views until she's elected. I don't write on this board often, I just want to say that this is very illogical and I'd like to kindly suggest you settle down.

Well if a busy law-firm partner can find time to be on the SB, I can somehow find time to occasionally post on DCUM.

I never said she holds those views. I said I’m concerned that she partnered with people who do. For years.

And maybe you are confusing posters - I didn’t post the NYT link or most of the other anti-APE posts.

MANY people don’t like that group.

She DID and DOES associate with people with these views in her APE group. Hilarious to see y'all doing gymnastics to run away from that. There's a job for you on the Trump team.

Yeah, many people seem to be posting. I posted the article and then others commented on it.

Are you? Maybe you are employed by the campaign. Because your full time job seems to be to defend Miranda with questionable grounding in reality.

Have you ever stopped to consider how antagonistic and aggressive you are? You are acting like a bully.

I'm looking on APE's website and there's not one mention of anti-LGBTQ or CRT. I see plenty about higher teacher pay, smaller class sizes and less device usage.

Pretty pathetic that the same poster loves to make up slanderous accusations against her and APE.

Some of you are still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that schools WERE closed for too long with disastrous results. That’s not even a controversial opinion at this point.

You’re blinded by hindsight.

It was reasonable to wait until teachers had vaccines.

Bullying others was not reasonable.

Except that many red states had schools that were open before vaccines, and did just fine. Plus all the local privates. It was not reasonable. It was a disaster, still is, and will take years or possibly decades to recover from. (Thus all the focus on learning loss.)
