[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been in a position to work with NAACP leadership, or should I say try to work with them, on a variety of educational issues. My experience has been there is no reasonable discussion, as they have their mind set on perceptions and not realities. And whatever the national trend is that is how everything is perceived, without any real exploration of what is in front of them. There are many adjustments to policies I favor, and wanted to explore real data and develop plans. They wanted nothing to do with it. They have all the answers on hiring, school discipline, adjustments to funding, etc. Ad hominem attacks are what they offered when a real conversation and collaboration were offered. They force themselves into the room, but marginalize themselves because if one does not agree with every premise, they are dismissed. And I was a dues paying member of the NAACP for many years, so my goals were not disimilar to theirs. [/quote]

I'm just saying, it sounds like you had your mind set on certain end results or positions too. So that goes both ways.[/quote]

+1000.  She definitely has a strong bias towards appointing Reid and declaring "mission accomplished."

And I get how Reid might seem qualified, depending on what boxes you think you need to check.  I happen to think she'd be a disaster because she's clearly heavily invested in "equity" and "anti-racist" initiatives that rely heavily on babble and reject the idea of academic merit, and has no experience with a large school system that has the day-to-day operating challenges that FCPS faces (and Brabrand mostly ignored for the last five years).

If she were to step aside, and FCPS were to go back to the drawing board, that would be far preferable to hiring someone who's not right for the job simply because they have a timeline.

+1.   
If Michelle Reid becomes the new FCPS Superintendent, to stop the current school board atrocities and to bring some needed balance, Governor Youngqin ought to help us the same way he is with LCPS. We can’t afford another year of the same!
