GOP endorsed school board candidates

[Anonymous]

This very long thread has shown that one side (mostly) has been responding with specific academic policy reasons or at least a general support for focusing on academics and facility management. And the other side (almost exclusively) has been resonding with insults, slurs, conspiracy theories and topics that have nothing to do with education.

Hopefully this contrast in the positions and posts of both sides will help voters and parents to decide which positions they want represented on the school board, and what priorities they want (academics and facilities vs other stuff) over the next 4 years in FCPS.

Time will tell.

BTW a GOP candidate used the n word in front of students at Oakton day

Most of this thread has been dominated by far left blue Virginia types, who have no arguments or positions to defend, only slurs and insults.

I am not sure that this thread is going the way the left wing activists intended. Moderates tend to not like being insulted by politicsl activists nor are they big fans of insults as a substitute for debate of ideas.

+1000.

The funny thing is everyone knows the Democrats will almost surely retain a majority on the SB. But people like OP are so insistent on having total control and squelching any competing perspectives that they immediately call people “stupid” and pepper them with other insults when anyone suggests some contrary views might actually lead to better outcomes. They are big fans of diversity, except when it might be diversity of opinion.

Diversity of thought is fine when it’s not an irrational disruptor trying to tear everything down. Please refer to Republicans in Congress. We don’t need chaos on the school board.

Or another Elizabeth Schultz.

+1. People seem to forget that school board members don’t just vote on stuff, they are also supposed to respond to community concerns. Things people like Elizabeth Schultz did terrible job at!

Elizabeth Schultz was actually one of the best representstives for responding to community concerns. She was very responsive and regularly advocated for people in her district. People didn't like her non- fcps related trumpy type positions. But strictly on school related issues, she was fantastic.

One example is the Daventry rezoning. She worked with the Daventry families to help eliminate the handful of West Springfield Elementary zoned streets that were a split feeder to Lewis (zoned for Irving for middle school). Most of the women who worked with Elizabeth Schultz on that rezoning project were very much not from her political party and likely voted for Laura Jane in the subsequent election, but she put constituents before party politics and helped them advance the rezoning of their streets.

Elizabeth Schultz was a good school board member who got booted over anti trump sentiment and alsl McDaniels pulling just enough republican votes to tip the vote to Cohen. In any other year pre trump, Schultz would have been reelected easily. She was a good school board member, in the right place but at the wrong time.

She was absolutely horrible.

Most voters do NOT want another pro-White nationalist and anti-LBGQT school board member.

“Blue Virginia”?? And you’re actually calling others extremists?

Sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating of Left display media bias in ways that strongly align with liberal, progressive, or left-wing thought and/or policy agendas. This is our most liberal rating on the political spectrum.

The source is biased but the facts detailed out are not.

Schultz is RWNJ who pushed white nationalist, antisemitic, anti-trans trash. FCPS does not need more of that.

We'll wait while you provide examples.

Are you the troll falsely accusing others of lying? Might want to take a look in the mirror, liar.

Which part was a lie?

I have no doubt the OP is the same poster who complained on Website Feedback about all the “lies” on this thread. “Lies” meaning anything she doesn’t agree with and wants to silence. That’s the SB/Democrats’ mentality in a nutshell.

I’m not OP but I have called out numerous Republican lies on this thread.

Lies are lies. Please give an example of a comment that was inaccurately called a lie. You have yet to provide a single example.

If you don’t like me calling out lies, then stop lying. Hit dog will holler.

NP.

“Hit dog will holler” ??

You have not “called out” anything. You simply lower the discourse with meaningless drive-by posts; repeatedly screeching “lies!”

Again, please give an example of a comment that was inaccurately called a lie.

Lies are lies. Stop posting lies if you don’t want them called out.

Still waiting to hear an example of a comment that you think was inaccurately called a lie…

The school board is 12-0 Democratic because local Republicans are a bunch of rancid bigots and fascists, and the good people of Fairfax County vote accordingly, against that. If Republicans ran candidates who had a basic sense of human decency, they would compete, and win a few seats. Democrats would be a majority anyway based simply on so many Fairfax County voters liking Democrats. But we get to a 12-0 monopoly only because Republicans consistently prove they are unworthy of any respect at all. Maureen Brody is a fascist and terrorist who admits to getting teargassed trying to storm the U.S. Capitol in the January 6 terrorist attack. Harry Jackson is a violent wife-beating thug and rancid bigot who has no place in civilized society. Tony Sabio exposed himself on Twitter as fascist Trump trash approving of violence to keep/put Trump in power. The list goes on. The dimwits here championing this pathetic lot of losers are, well, yourselves a pathetic lot of losers.

I'm curious what you creatures on the GOP side think you're going to get for all this. You just lose everyone's respect whenever people IRL match you with your musings. Maybe you'd be happier living elsewhere? People commute from Fauquier and beyond. You're just embarrassing yourselves into getting zeroed out completely here. You're certainly not doing Pat Herrity any favors, as he tries to avoid association with his own party to keep surviving in this twilight of his career.

A viable 2-party system requires 2 parties that both behave responsibly. Only Democrats fit that description today.

Very well said.

This wasn't "well said." If it were "well said," PP would have found a few other words to use besides "rancid" and "fascist," both of which made PP look silly and unhinged. And at a time when we see on the global stage the negative consequences of extreme polarization, demonizing one's political adversaries to this degree - particularly when we all know Democrats will retain control of the School Board and the only issue is whether there's room for any contrary perspectives - is wildly over-the-top and unnecessary.

Fighting to overthrow election results is fascist.

DP. In a more relevant scenario to schools in FCPS, the entire Democrat School Board and Superintendent acted as fascists by overthrowing the right of members of the community to have their voices heard through the results of the survey created by the same FCPS. They did so because an overwhelming majority of parents, students, and staff didn’t agree with their proposed approach on how to teach sex-ed and the inclusion of gender identity. In the words of Superintendent Reid, “Honestly, the majority doesn’t always dictate, right?”

Come to think about it, they resemble more a dictatorship, which may be why some posters in this thread don’t seem to connect the fascists at the all Democrat School Board with the need to replace them.

The survey was flawed. Easily spammed by RWNJ parents.

Please share your sources of how the spamming occurred with the IT Department at FCPS so that they can fix the problem, particularly because our kids’ private information is handled through those devices.

And, FYI, parents don’t have access to the school provided computers from where staff and students overwhelmingly disagree with the survey.

Not sure I understand what you mean, but to clarify, every parent with children in FCPS received the survey via the personal email registered for each parent with the school. That’s how I got access to the survey and I filled it out through my phone (a device). My spouse used the computer at home (a device).

How about you? Are you also a parent in FCPS? How did you receive the survey? And how did you fill it out?

Stop being obtuse. Parents didn’t use FCPS devices per the dumb “share your sources” comment above.

Some parent surveys are sent via a single-use link, but not this survey which was anonymous. Anyone could have responded.

I get it now! It looks like you used someone else’s link to respond to their survey. Sorry I’m a little bit slow…
So, how did you get access to staff’s computers and student laptops (issued individually by FCPS) to fill out their surveys? Because they also OVERWHELMINGLY sided with the parents.

The school board is 12-0 Democratic because local Republicans are a bunch of rancid bigots and fascists, and the good people of Fairfax County vote accordingly, against that. If Republicans ran candidates who had a basic sense of human decency, they would compete, and win a few seats. Democrats would be a majority anyway based simply on so many Fairfax County voters liking Democrats. But we get to a 12-0 monopoly only because Republicans consistently prove they are unworthy of any respect at all. Maureen Brody is a fascist and terrorist who admits to getting teargassed trying to storm the U.S. Capitol in the January 6 terrorist attack. Harry Jackson is a violent wife-beating thug and rancid bigot who has no place in civilized society. Tony Sabio exposed himself on Twitter as fascist Trump trash approving of violence to keep/put Trump in power. The list goes on. The dimwits here championing this pathetic lot of losers are, well, yourselves a pathetic lot of losers.

I'm curious what you creatures on the GOP side think you're going to get for all this. You just lose everyone's respect whenever people IRL match you with your musings. Maybe you'd be happier living elsewhere? People commute from Fauquier and beyond. You're just embarrassing yourselves into getting zeroed out completely here. You're certainly not doing Pat Herrity any favors, as he tries to avoid association with his own party to keep surviving in this twilight of his career.

A viable 2-party system requires 2 parties that both behave responsibly. Only Democrats fit that description today.

Very well said.

This wasn't "well said." If it were "well said," PP would have found a few other words to use besides "rancid" and "fascist," both of which made PP look silly and unhinged. And at a time when we see on the global stage the negative consequences of extreme polarization, demonizing one's political adversaries to this degree - particularly when we all know Democrats will retain control of the School Board and the only issue is whether there's room for any contrary perspectives - is wildly over-the-top and unnecessary.

It was absolutely well said, even if you don’t want to hear it.

Fighting to overthrow election results is fascist.

DP. In a more relevant scenario to schools in FCPS, the entire Democrat School Board and Superintendent acted as fascists by overthrowing the right of members of the community to have their voices heard through the results of the survey created by the same FCPS. They did so because an overwhelming majority of parents, students, and staff didn’t agree with their proposed approach on how to teach sex-ed and the inclusion of gender identity. In the words of Superintendent Reid, “Honestly, the majority doesn’t always dictate, right?”

Come to think about it, they resemble more a dictatorship, which may be why some posters in this thread don’t seem to connect the fascists at the all Democrat School Board with the need to replace them.

The survey was flawed. Easily spammed by RWNJ parents.

It’s always a “heads I win, tails you lose” situation with the current School Board when it comes to public input.

If the input supports their position, it will be touted as “strong public support.” If it does not, the results will be ignored or discounted, with a typical pretext being that a survey was flawed.

Yet one more reason why we need more diversity of views on the school board.

we always kept genders together even in the 1980’s

Equating this very normal educational practice with storming the Capitol is disgusting.
