Who else can we send this too?

But truthfully, I am also cringing. Social media has changed everything. Thank God I was in my 20s in the 1980s...

Washington City Paper =/= Washington Times

That was me. Sorry. I also wrote "too" instead of "to".

I think you mean that it was a volunteer who did that. No fault of your own.

Lol. I'm so glad I found this thread.

I am the candidate and am personally writing to apologize for the comment that was written earlier. This is my account and I occasionally post mom related event information around the city on this forum.
Today's comment was written by a volunteer who was using my laptop to do other campaign related activities while I was not around. I was unaware of what was going on until I returned just now.
The comment was completely inappropriate and should not have been written. I have run a completely positive campaign and will continue to do so for the remaining eight days. Needless to say, the volunteer involved will no longer be helping me.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this matter further.

It's interesting to me that she returned 'just now' at 16:07 but the first post was edited at 15:01pm. So why did 'the volunteer' edit it??

I would like it if theVolunteer shows up as a username and writes an apologetic post. That would be fun. The night is still young...

I don't live in DC, but I thought you might be interested to know that here in Canada, a candidate for Premier (basically governor) lost hard because he accidentally called his opponent an "evil reptilian kitten eater from another planet."

Those who don't learn from history shouldn't be serving on a school board.

Now the Washington Post has mentioned it.

I wish they would stop referring to the person as someone who logged into an account and email owned by Ashley Carter. Or maybe I should start doing that. A cheesecake was taken from the office refrigerator today by a person using a set of arms belonging to Jan Dingle...

LOL, this thread is ridiculous. Because of some irrelevant comments from Carter's account people here are going to vote for a Social Justice Warrior who changed the health education standards to get the schools to start teaching transgenderism? How about we focus on the policy issues rather focusing on comments that have no bearing on how the schools are run.

This reminds me of the sizeable lead held by AnthonyWeiner in the campaign for NYC mayor, and then . . .

Sadly though, the result was that NYC ended up with a social justice idiot for a mayor.

I think Ashley is innocent this time. The thread go linked on Reddit so we can probably expect more such posts.

That may be true, but it's still fun to make fun of.

I agree. How about electing someone who recently went through the DC public school system and knows first hand what DC students are going through. Someone like Tony Donaldson.

If you think that
a) DC schools teach kids to be transgender
b) transgenderism is a word
c) one can be taught to be transgender
d) that is the biggest educational issue in DC right now

then you have a lot to learn.

Yes, I am not voting for Ashley Carter because of some "irrelevant comments from Carter's account".
