[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can’t see the stuff about the school board going anywhere.  However, the allegations about the school sound horrifying.  That’s where DOE and lawsuits can come in, if warranted.  [/quote]

Right. I think they do a disservice by conflating these issues.

* No child should be subjected to racial/ethnic/religious slurs. That needs to be handled by school administration, or by FCPS Central if the school administration is not responsive.

* If enough kids are out on YK and RH, FCPS really needs to consider making those holidays the way they are in MCPS and other nearby districts. If YK and RH continue to NOT be days off, teachers should ensure appropriate accommodations.

* School board members can say what they want on their private social media, particularly as these comments are not aimed at groups of PEOPLE, but rather at GOVERNMENTS[/quote]

Leading with the stuff about the school board, Israel, and Justice High graduation was unwise.  Voters can determine whether that is what they want and vote accordingly.  The allegations about antisemitism, however, are shocking and troubling.  If the school system does not investigate them thoroughly and take appropriate action, I suspect that many Jewish families in Fairfax will believe that can’t get fair treatment and will move elsewhere. They’ve seen this movie before.[/quote]
