You are totally out of line. I didn't have kids until I was 42 but I was fully invested in my community and fully committed to public education (even taught for 7 years before burning out) so I cared deeply about the school system long before I had kids. You don't have to spawn to care about good schools. In fact, since he isn't distracted by child rearing, he has more time to devote to the work.

Every time I see people commenting on Frisch not having kids, it reads to me like an anti-gay dog whistle.

FWIW, my understanding is that his husband is a teacher. So that gives him even more skin in the game than a parent, and more quality knowledge from the reality inside a school and the system at large. I'd take that as a personal family qualification more than being the random parent of a 5th grader.

+1 from a gay HS teacher who knows first-hand how these people work

It's disappointing that any teacher choosing to engage on Frisch's candidacy would use terms like "these people." You certainly wouldn't like that if such a derogatory phrase were applied across-the-board to LBGTQ activists.

+1 Sad that PP is teaching our youth. What are you teaching them? How to be more hateful and biased?

There is a young, gay local Democratic activists whom I won’t name, but who is on local D committees and is now an adult. He regularly posts things like “the GOP only cares about rich, straight, White evangelical Christian, conservative men.”

This seems to be how some of the local Ds running for School Board like Karl Frisch and Kyle McDaniel think and pitch their campaigns as well. They tout inclusivity yet promote division.

It's not divisive if it's true. You just don't like people stating the glaringly obvious out loud.

You want it to be true. It sure is convenient to have a group of people to use as scapegoats. It's become trendy to hate (as long as you are hating on rich, straight, white Christian conservatives).

DP. I was fine with him until he wasted tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on a completely unnecessary elementary school project in Dunn Loring to save a dog park.

He could be a straight Ph.D with degrees from Harvard and Stanford, a wife, and seven kids, and I'd still think that's a disqualifying boondoggle that renders him unfit for future office.

The taking of the the School from Oakton/Fairfax is a looming disaster. It was shortsighted and stupid just to save dog park. I don't care if he's gay or straight, white, Black, Brown or green but I think we has over the top on school closures. They all should be ashamed that the K-2s weren't brought back sooner even if Hybrid. I wish I could throw him out but I can't because I live in Fairfax City so we have this crappy board running our schools but we can't vote for them. Sometimes I wish we could split, but we need FCPS to offer programs larger school systems can offer and they need space in Fairfax High School and space at Providence or there would be a at least three apartment complexes headed to either Mosaic or Oakton, the vary schools the BLake Lane was to help.

Local dem leadership needs to deflect to take attention from their failures.

NP: You misunderstand--saying that a group seems to care primarily about rich, straight, white conservative Christians is not the same as hating those people. It's calling out an exclusionary practice. Dems include many rich, straight, white Christians but aim to be inclusive. But you can't say "we're against LGTBQTIA+ and don't want reference to it anywhere for anyone" and when you're critiqued for that say "you're being exclusionary to us." We as a society have agreed that religion is separate from the state, but that is protective to religion--so everyone is free to practice their own religion and not impose it on others.

That is the word salad of the day so far.

and completely untrue. There is definitely hate felt.

Karl's flyer arrived with the absentee ballots today. Quite ironic that his featured slogan on the flyer is: "Putting Students First."

I give him credit for knowing what his biggest flaw is, and trying to market himself as the opposite. I know the truth. Karl put students last.

I guess if you feel that way it's probably projection. You tend to feel the hate you give

Still funny that the basket of deplorables hate being called out as deplorable.

Karl is an advocate. He builds his entire life around hate.

He is utterly shameless. I will give him that much.
