[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the out-of-stater doesn’t want to be called out as a shill then perhaps she should share a pro-charter comment that sounds like it came right out of a campaign email.

Youngkin is going to push to defund our public schools with charters and vouchers. Our schools need to be supported, not to be gutted. [/quote]

I see FCPS administrators and School Board members gutting our schools.  When you see the hypocrisy, neglect, and misguided priorities on display for years, first by a 10-2 and then by a 12-0 Democratic School Boards, what you consider "gutting" seems like a "rescue mission" to many of us.

Without more details, the continued whining about how charters are going to "gut" the public schools is simply hysteria.  One suspects what bothers you isn't the potential opening of a charter school so much as the realization that [u]your[/u] ability to operate with limited accountability and to prioritize random social justice initiatives over the efficient operation of a $3B school system is coming to an end.

I’m not an administrator or school board member. Just a parent. A parent who wants to support our local public schools. My youngest is 5 so I have many years ahead with public schools. I don’t want Youngkin to take our fragile schools and cripple them further by defunding them.

Charters and vouchers don’t offer solutions to “fix” our public schools - only to defund them. Pulling money out of our schools isn’t the way to “fix” them.

Youngkin already has voucher activists on staff. Including DeVos groupies. How is calling any of that out “hysteria”?
