Do people not actually attend virtual meetings in their everyday work life? I assumed these two people were messaging each other and laughing at that. It happens all the time.

And if people automatically assumed they were laughing at the kid singing, then ask why was that the assumption? If the kid is such a poor singer than he/she shouldn’t have been performing. Having autism doesn’t automatically mean everyone should fawn all over them bc they showed up. [/quote]

OMG what is wrong with you!

OMG! Nothing. I am a normal person. 
Why do you think that parents should put their kids on display just bc they have autism?
If the kid can sing, then that’s why they are singing. And if the kid can’t, then they don’t need to be.
What is wrong with you that you need someone to tell you that?

No, it’s not ok to normalize POS republicans laughing at SN kids.

Can’t believe that has to be said - multiple times.

Just admit that you’re wrong. Laughing at SN kids is not the hill you want to die on.

DP, but if the only ammunition the Democrats have going into the fall 2023 SB elections is that two Republicans who won’t even end up running for SB grimaced at a screechy performance of the National Anthem by a young adult they didn’t know was autistic they are going to end up booted out of office.

We all get it.  It was poor form and the two would-be challengers paid the price.  Jackson had so much baggage from the endless fights over TJ that he never would have been a viable candidate anyway - most people in the county are sick of all the attention that TJ has been getting at the expense of all the other schools in FCPS.  But if you think this one mishap will dominate the discussion next fall, you are probably in for a surprise.  The current members who choose to run again are still going to have to defend their record, and it hasn’t exactly been a good one. [/quote]
