[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Activists use the school board and school related issues for their political gain. There's no one looking to actually fix the school system in a practical way [/quote]

The Board clerk for the June 2 meeting sent warnings to parents to not speak on anything but ESSER funds at the meeting, and then the same SB passed a resolution on gun violence at the same meeting.  One of the school board members in their bio touts their democrat party work.  The only thing transparent about ACPS and the SB is they are a political machine.[/quote]

Political machine?  I think you are giving this weak school board members a little too much credit.[/quote]

Also - use of the term “democrat party” is a give away for political agenda of the poster.  That being said, I don’t know if ACPS is fixable since there seems to be a lack of political will for viable change candidates to either run or win.[/quote]

Not the PP but why is it a problem to use that term?[/quote]

The political party’s name is Democratic Party but GOP/FoxNews types like to say “democrat” to disparage.  It’s a winking-nodding dog-whistle  term, kind of like “woke.”  It’s used intentionally but then they play dumb about it.[/quote]

Ooooohhhh democrat is a wink nod dog whistle term. OK.  :roll: [/quote]

Ms. Green touts her role in the "young democrats," and this is why criticism and voices to improve get lost in the cross-talk.  The point is, touting ones work with a political party - either Democratic or Republican - in an official bio for a non-partisan position is off-putting, albeit transparent.[/quote]

You have no arguments from me questioning Ms. Greene.  I do think her priorities are either: (1) promoting her standing in the Democratic Party or (2) looking after some small subset of students she views as “her students” including ACHS athletes.[/quote]

Is she still on her church speaking tour with Alderton and Hutchings? Hmmm...maybe she can get a cut of Hutchings book profits since that's what they are out promoting. [/quote]
