[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing you need to know is that they are run by the local Democratic party - and to some extent the national Democrats.  Under Obama, FCPS became the laboratory for crap like transgender bathrooms.  Once they got FCPS on board, they went around saying, "Fairfax County - one of the largest in the country is doing it, you must too..."  If there is a liberal social initiative to be pushed, you can bet FCPS kids will be the first guinea pigs.  [/quote]

It's actually the right-wing Republicans who are obsessed with the issue.  The local Republicans are also quite racist, as evidenced by the continued need to bash Obama even though we now have far and away the worst president in American history, Trump.

Truth be told, Fairfax County is overwhelmingly Democratic now, but it's a moderate strain - more Clinton than Sanders.

The School Board has one over-the-top liberal Democrat (Pay Hynes) and two over-the-top conservative Republicans (Elizabeth Schultz and Tom Wilson).  The other nine members are garden-variety local politicians.  They'd actually be more progressive when it comes to school policy if they were appointed, like the old School Board, not up for election every four years.

Wrong Again.   This county is overwhelming Democrat.  The meals tax FAILED miserably a couple of years ago.  It is Democrats in this county who voted it down - in a huge manner.  That would have been money for our schools.  Pat Herrity has been pushing for a full and real audit of our schools - the same type of audit that the county goes through.  That is not cutting money to the schools.  And BTW - the county has agreed to greater and greater transfers of money to our schools year after year.  The FCPS school budget is now greater that then entire budget of 8 states!  Don't tell me they are short on money to pay teachers.  They are short on brains and would rather push liberal social crap that doesn't benefit kids.  THAT has been their priority.

The SB is filled with Democratic party players.  That is a fact and to pretend otherwise is simply a lie.  They all participate in local politics even when the SB is supposed to be nonpartisan.  McElveen worked for Obama.  He is the source from which all this liberal crap foisted on our kids - at great expense mind you - has come from.  And then Sandy Evans with her re-naming purge at Jeb Stuart HS... all money FCPS should have put towards teacher pay.  But who cares about teachers when stupid liberal causes must be pushed on our kids?!![/quote]

Lots of BS there.  The Republicans invariably oppose taxes and increases in school funding. Just read the crap that Pat Herrity has spewed over the years. The Republicans are the ones who force teachers to work multiple jobs to make ends meet.

But when the School Board actually wakes up and decides to rid a school of its albatross of a Confederate general name, they fall all over themselves pretending that the cost is somehow taking money directly out of the teachers' pockets.  Such hypocrites.  [/quote][/quote]
