[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not PP but having different opinions doesn’t mean someone is out of touch, it means they do not agree with you.  I’m not happy with the SB either but I think right wingers completely astroturfed social media-including this forum-and convinced parents Democrats alone are responsible for the fall of education.  Ignoring the changing demographics that contribute to local systems being overwhelmed. Ignoring that Republican led states often completely undermine public education and do not have good outcomes.  Ignoring that CRT is not a thing.  And that outsiders were brought in to stir crap up.  That charter schools and vouchers have failed miserably in most cases bc they are not held to any standards.  
You can call me names, be patronizing, etc, I still do not agree with you PPs.  And yes, I am paying attention.  I will vote for SB who are focused on academics in 2023. But this? Sticking it to the Dems when there is so much more at stake? Nah. [/quote]

Fairfax County voted in large numbers for Democrats.  I did not.  So, I'm not sure if the School Board gets the message or not.  Doubtful, as they seem to be zealots.  Just look at their non-official social media.  Pekarsky, Mehren, Keys-Gamarra, Frisch, Omeish, Cohen, etc.  
They have vocally supported CRT by other names:  "anti-racism" for example

The system has paid big bucks in support of "anti-racism."  They are now going to discuss putting an "activist" academy at Lewis High School. They have changed names of schools--to include a school that was named for a neighborhood.  The funds spent on this are not insignificant.  Millions of dollars changing names that could have been spent on hiring tutors for kids that need help.  Something that might really have made a difference.

One of our former SB members has publicly said that they need to "own" CRT.

Most people don't really care what party the SB is.  They just want good schools--not incubation factories for "social justice"--which is anything but.[/quote]
