[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me more about this lobbying group? Do they donate to city council? This is making a lot of sense now. We're they behind that nonsense about building affordable housing on school grounds?[/quote]

Yes, they do.[/quote]

Do you have a source showing they make contributions to politicians?

I believe Tenants and Workers United is a nonprofit community grassroots organization. They have helped tenants in Arlandria organize against slumlords and things of that nature.  Advocacy for a community is very different from what you are suggesting, which is that TWU uses money to influence City Council.  Hard to believe they even have a large enough budget for that![/quote]

NP here but PP who brought up TWU lobbying too much in the schools (and is it working, I’d say no). I didn’t write that they contribute money, that’s someone else. I don’t think they do. Their advocacy is lobbying in an extreme political way. And they wouldn’t have to make financial contributions to city council or the school board because the board, council and mayor have such an extreme progressive agenda they can’t see the forest for the trees or ever admit when they’re wrong. All of them. This one party extreme rule is severely hurting the students. There is never any middle group, not pivoting, no rational discussions.

One school, because if there were neighborhood high schools that would be not equitable because all the wealthy kids would be in certain schools because they tend to live in certain neighborhoods and the poor kids in others (ex: Lyles Crouch vs Jeff Houston). And that’s not fair. Also no buying into TJ because the smartest kids are not allowed to leave ACPS and commit brain drain. Everyone must be on the level playing field no matter what the cost. So the only fair solution is to crane every single high school student in the City into ONE building that can’t even fit 3 grades. ALL OF THEM.  So if they go down, they go down together. That’s only fair, right?![/quote]
