[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on dcum Fairfax schools forum think about Langley too much.[/quote]

[b]Langley residents are probably the most active in the county when it comes to criticizing FCPS, starting groups like "Voices of Fairfax," and launching recall petitions of School Board members. Even someone like Asra Nomani who has devoted most of her life for the past two years to taking down FCPS for changing TJ admissions lives in the Langley district. [/b] They cast a big shadow.

The challenge they face is that many want to replace Tholen and other School Board members, but solely on their own terms.  And their terms generally aren't going to win elections.  Even when they could align with other parents on issues of mutual concern, many end up bickering and sowing division because they are worried about not having total control (especially on anything that might touch, even remotely, on Langley's boundaries).

And oh, how different things would be now had people like you actually taken the time to listen to what Voices of Fairfax, etc. had to say about the 2019 elections.  But no - you probably called that group all kinds of names to make you feel superior.  And now you're complaining about the absurd SB YOU elected.  Oh well.  Elections have consequences.  [/quote]

Yeah it's fortunate.  I have never voted in a FCPS school board election despite having kids in the schools.  I recall seeing Karl Frisch's opponent speaking before the last election.  She seemed to make a heavy handed reference to him being gay - referring to his husband or something like that.  I thought to myself what's wrong with having a gay school board member and still believe that part.  Anyways I went along my Democratic leaning non voting way.  Now one of my kids will almost be out of school before we have any chance to try to sort out this mess.  I will be voting against them all next chance I get - crazy to have a bunch of Lefty activists on a School Board that don't really seem to care about our kids education at all.  [/quote]
