I agree. It’s a ludicrous rebranding made even more clear by the fact they had to issue a press release stating they’re nonpartisan.

This SB is very much endorsed by Democrats.

Oops - PP here. Please disregard my post! ^^^ I thought you were referring to the SB. Open FCPS is very much nonpartisan.

A clarification in response to false accusations does not make the accusations true. But you know that.

Although it would be more accurate to call the group bi-partisan than non-partisan since it does exist to advocate.

Haha, nothing will happen.

DP. Possibly true, but the recall petitions ensure that none of these candidates will be able to successfully run for SB again. Too many voters are now aware of their incompetence. So that’s very much a win. Sorry to disappoint.

Why do you believe you can definitely assert that?

Well, between complaining about Democrats every chance and aligning themselves with Pete Snyder…

Grow up.

Y’all first. Buncha whiny toddlers soiling their diapers because they didn’t get their way. Buck up and vote against them next time- or heck run yourselves! But that would require more than passive action and y’all know YOU couldn’t take the heat once you fail to live up to your neighbors’ lofty expectations.

Organizing and conducting a recall action, as expressly authorized by state law, takes time and effort. It’s anything but a passive exercise. You are the one who sits in your basement whining about people trying to make a positive change - in response to an incompetent School Board that has driven thousands of families out of FCPS entirely.

Your candidate(s) lost their elections. You don’t like the current office holders? Great, vote against them next time.

“I don’t like them so I want them recalled” is some medical-grade entitlement BS, legal or not.

Recalls are specifically authorized under state law. Take it up with the state legislature if you think they erred. Otherwise STFU.

Shit, why bother having elections at all then?

Your logic is impeccably bad.

The legislature saw fit to establish additional vehicles to hold elected officials accountable beyond periodic elections. I guess that bothers people who have no problem with out-of-touch school board members who act like they answer to no one but other insiders.

You’re basically setting the precedent that all elections are invalid and that terms of office have no meaning. But if that’s what it takes to get to sleep at night, then go off King, I guess.

There are recalls of elected officials attempted every year. Ballotpedia keeps track. So far it hasn’t destroyed the republic.

I’m not sure if you recall the storming of the capitol on 1/6/21, but the republic isn’t doing great. Keep muddying the waters and stoking those flames though.

Why are you so committed to defending these dingbats? I’m a Democrat but it’s ok to admit that the SB members are, by and large, in over their heads and should be replaced. Also if we elected the SB on a rolling/rotating basis, instead of electing the whole board at once every 4 years, we could mitigate some of these problems caused by inexperienced and ineffectual members.

Then replace them at the next election! That’s why we have elections and offices with set terms.

Apparently though the Open parents want to have sole discretion over who serves on the board and for how long.

Huh? Where do you get that information? The #openFCPS parents want to encourage the county to elect non-partisan officials who will work for the education of kids. Outside of Fairfax GOP and FCDC, who doesn't want that? I'll wait while you think.

Nope, they want only their preferred folks to even be considered. That’s pretty clear from this whole recall fiasco.

In their perfect world, a panel of Open parents would replace an elected school board.

You must be Geof Schoradt or one of those other unemployed dudes who derives his entire sense of self-worth from being a shill for the local Democrats. Or maybe “V The Clash” on Twitter.

I'm not disappointed. I 100% agree that a democratic school board will be elected next time. DCUM and OpenFCPS is still a small population and there's quite a bit of overlap.

You may find the woke version of the “silent majority” you’re conjuring up here doesn’t exist. Most people I know, including Democrats, think the current board is out of touch with their priorities.

They still don’t have the signatures?
Back in February they were asking for some and I told them to F off, are they still asking for them?

How sad that your performative obscenities haven’t deterred them. Closing in now on Tholen.

And then what? You’re not going to recall her. You’re just trying to keep our community divided for your right wing purposes.
