[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just pointing out that despite being deeply dissatisfied with the school board’s COVID chaos, Fairfax County appears to have just voted the same group back into office for another 4 years— 12-0D— in large part because the R candidates ran heavily on book banning and making life difficult for trans kids.  And there are plenty of people who would have voted R if Rs had focused on education instead of book banning and LGBTQ kids. Because the incumbents voted back in we’re not beloved. Or even liked. They are just better than 4 years of Mothers of Liberty running school libraries. [/quote]

This is simply what Democrats do - vote in the same nutters over and over again.  If even ONE Republican had been elected to the SB, that would have provided at least a tiny bit of balance.  But no.  We are destined to relive four more painfully unproductive years, putting academics at the very bottom of a laundry list filled with social issues.  No one to blame but yourselves.  [/quote]

Hey, I wanted to vote my Dem Rep out. But not for someone whose top priority, in the top 3 list they gave ballotpedia, was book banning. Im sorry— protecting our children from porn  And whose second priority was harassing trans kids.  Sorry.  Protecting girls sports.  So my R option put their top two issues as social issues.  Ones I find abhorrent, BTW.  I had a kid spend junior year taking 5 APs in my basement. I have no issue  voting Dems out. But the book banner transphobe was not going to focus on education over social issues either. I know this because she said so in her written survey. So my choice was relatively benign social issues vs awful social issues. No one was talking about academics.

I did vote for the independent STEM teacher who ran for the at large seat. [/quote]

So - in your mind - protecting girls' sports = harassing trans kids.  Got it.  [/quote]

This is DCUM and we live in the DC Metro area. People here understand dog whistles. If you're running for school board, focus on education and schools and not targeting books and minority kids. [/quote]
