So this is a personal vendetta…. |
Um. No. That is some stupid “both sides” nonsense. |
Are you a member of Moms for Liberty, this hate group your professed a few pages ago to have never heard of but for DCUM? Because you sound like you know more about them than you are letting on and your reflex to defend and counterattack is very revealing. |
| Equity officer job is a way to pay reparations to Black community and build inroads into business and government. I don't mind it, but I wish they'd understand the assignment, and not use the position to mess with the organization's operations. |
My point was that instead of name calling, you should question what a person has said and even try to see things from their side. But let's take a look at what you posted. 1) "and professing ignorance about the notorious group is not the flex you think if you are genuinely interested in developments in public school education" Well this is actually true. I have never met anyone from this group, and I think that if I took a survey in my area or even went up to the elementary bus stop it would unlikely anyone had heard of this group. 2) "But, I know, I know, you think with live in a colorblind society and are tired of all this race talk already." So, if I don't keep up on fringe far right groups then there is something wrong with me? 3) https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/indiana-chapter-of-moms-for-liberty-features-hitler-quote-in-first-newsletter This is the Indiana chapter. Do they have something to do with the Fairfax County? This isn't an area with tons of moms meeting up for prayer groups and home school. Oh wait, this group is pro-school voucher (from "Have you heard" section in newletter), that would be scary to many people, and that idea needs to be shut down, anywhere that discussion is taking place. 4)Let's take a look at the article which was written by an Indiana public education reporter for NPR. The quote was obviously used as warning, "He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future." This group is worried about indoctrination in public schools and thinks parents should have a say in their kids education. Of course, Democrats jumped on this quote and basically accused them of spreading hateful views. I think that it's obvious, this group is concerned about people brainwashing their kids and not teaching them to think for themselves and the quote represents how totalitarian governments control a population. Not all at once but in small steps and no one notices until it's too late. |
Nardos King has "served" FCPS for over 15 years - I think even close to 20 or more. She started at Mount Vernon High School back in the early 2000s as the finance person - maybe even the 1990s. She rose through the ranks and became principal of MVHS around 2006/2007. She was principal at MVHS until Sept 2015. She left two weeks into the school year to take the Baltimore assistant superintendent role. She was only in Baltimore a couple of years and came back to FCPS as an Executive Principal in 2018 or 2019. She was promoted to the Region 3 Superintendent in 2019. Why do I know her history? Because I have children at MVHS and we have been in the MVHS pyramid since 2005. She often talks about her long tenure at MVHS. Has she failed in her roles in FCPS? As a parent, I would say she did not fail as the principal at MVHS. My oldest was a sophomore in high school when she left MVHS. I never heard rave reviews about her but I also didn't hear people actively complaining about her either. Between my three children, we've been through three principals at MVHS and all three of them have been fine. I do find her to be a dynamic and motivating speaker. She also was very strict with the dress code. Does she deserve to be one of the highest paid county employees? Again, I don't know the answer to that. |

Amazing how you are twisting yourself into a knot to defend the usage of a Hitler quote while simultaneously trying to downplay it. Don’t get me started on their invalid fears about “indoctrination.” You just don’t like that DEI programs and similar concepts aim to correct the types of ridiculous indoctrination our children have been subjected to for decades or, worse, introduce even more radical ideas such as DeSantis wanting children to believe slaves benefited by learning skills or the ultimate goal of groups like Moms for Liberty: The formal introduction of faith-based/christian curricula in schools. The right-wing indoctrination agenda is far more insidious and harmful than anything oriented around inclusion. |
So her experience is at the worst high school in northern Virginia and at the worst school district in the country? Neither improved under her tenure, but she got promoted anyway? Talk about failing upward |

Public funding abuse/fraud? |
You’re strange. |
Toots. Honeybear. Lovebug … you started this insane thread. You are the one who is cuckoo. |
LOL! Both are the exact same, just coming from opposite ends. If anything at least MAGA I can sympathize for their parochial outlook at their upbringing and general lack of exposure to the wider world. The DEI folks are straight up jackasses. The moral superiority they assume they have is laughably hollow. Einstein if he is applying now to any university would need to write a 5 page document on his contributions to DEI before his resume would even be evaluated. You DEI fools are what created this mess. |
Wow, you’re really crazy. I did not start this thread. I simply posted a response which you think is a “personal vendetta.” |
No. And stop conflating different posters. It just makes you come across like an idiot - just like the people who falsely imply this moms group was citing Hitler approvingly, rather than unnecessarily. |
