You do know that there are white families at Drew, right?

were they actually at Drew or were they in Montessori when it was in the same building as Drew? Big difference.

People are talking about this because Mirandai is trying to get credit for having her kids at a majority minority Title 1 school when that's not accurate. Get it?

DP. Oh, just like Monique did! Only she didn't bother helping the Drew part at all, especially after achieving her goal of getting Montessori its own building. At least Miranda has stuck around to keep supporting and helping as needed.
Monique even got to play the same game for TWO schools since her kid was in Montessori at Gunston, too.

Miranda seems to have chairs or former chairs of blue families, aapi caucus, disability caucus and others. I see about a half dozen familiar names of AC/DC insiders.

So I see people aren’t interested In the only thing that matters in this race. Who votes In the caucus and who they support.

Deflection. Monique is not running in this election.

So what was Miranda's role in advocating for Montessori to move out of Drew?

so that's not cherry picking but me pointing out Miranda's evasive answer on where her kids go to school is?

are you really ok with her saying she's a Drew parent when NONE of her kids go to Drew???

I find it rather creepy that she is on the PTA of a school that none of her kids attend. I would feel weird about any adult who did the same.

Would you rather the PTA go without needed leadership and support? Because that's why Miranda has continued to be involved with Drew PTA even after her kids in Montessori left because Montessori moved out of the building. Drew PTA didn't have the people they needed step up! So it's creepy that someone who lives in the neighborhood wants to support the neighborhood school whether they have kids in the school or not? Would you find it creepy for an adult who moved to the neighborhood but doesn't have kids or whose kids attended school in their previous home location to care about their surrounding community and join the neighborhood school's PTA? Especially if it's a school that has traditionally struggled to solicit strong PTA participation?

Relax. Drew can recruit their own volunteers, just like other PTAs in Arlington. They don't need help from a well intentioned white woman whose kids don't even go to their school.

I don't know if it's creepy, but it's definitely weird that Miranda is seen as such a savior of Drew.

You are so right!! And Bethany was so creepy keeping that food bank at Randolph open even after her kids aged out of elementary school! Shame on those well-intentioned white women!

If that’s true, Bethany should have trained and handed off the pantry to current parents. But Monique and Bethany are not candidates this time around. Good deflection though!

Look! All of these Title I schools can’t survive without well meaning white women! 🙃

At least Bethany's kids actually went to Randolph.

Unlike Miranda with Drew.

Good question.

People keep saying she's more qualified than Angelo but how exactly? Just because she ran and lost so she has name recognition? That's not the same as being experienced or qualified.

Why didn't Miranda run last time against Bethany Sutton? Why did she sit that one out?

She’s more qualified just be being a full adult with life and job experience. It’s not a high bar to be more qualified than that guy. He has literally nothing going for him.

I can't believe this is even a question. Angelo is barely qualified to be my kids' Cub Scout leader, let alone make decisions across the board for APS.
