[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people do draw their entire identity from membership in a group and are subject to groupthink.  Funnily enough, group leaders and membership occasionally modify the positions they have on issues.  Guess that means they were never a "______________"[/quote]

There are few better examples of group think run amok than the hysteria among those convinced the School Board wants to redistrict them out of their significantly under-enrolled high school, which anyone with a functioning brain knows would not happen for at least another decade.

Should these people and their hand-picked candidates really be setting the agenda for the entire school system?

Too many of us have watched every meeting on school boundary policy.  We know what the ultimate plan was and it was not simply to address capacity issues, or they would not have stopped boundary studies while they put a One Fairfax lens on the policy.  They purposefully wasted thousands on trailers at McLean when Langley had space, because they had plans other than efficient use of taxpayer dollars and getting kids out of trailers.  If it were all about capacity problems with obvious, inexpensive solutions would not have been ignored.

The Langley renovation was not finished until the fall of 2018 and McLean’s enrollment spiked in the fall of 2018.  As it is, people like Schultz and Wilson are already claiming McLean “leapfrogged” other boundary changes that need to be undertaken.  I’m glad they are paying more attention now, but claiming they intentionally left kids in trailers is just hyperbole.
