[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s clear that he had no qualifications for the school board position.  So who the f voted for him in 2019?  How could his opponent been any worse?[/quote]

Frisch's opponent endorsed by the Republicans was extremely right-wing (probably further right of even Elizabeth Schultz) and of course had no chance running in a year when local voters were keen to vote for Democratic candidates to signal their opposition to Trump.

The problem was that a much better candidate had sought the Democratic endorsement in 2019, but she focused on boring education issues rather than spouting off all the progressive talking points, and wasn't as much of a party boot-licker as Frisch, so she couldn't get the FCDC endorsement.

A R could not have gotten elected dog catcher in 2019 in Fairfax county. You had to have a pulse and a D next to your name - that was about it. 
- moderate D who eager voted straight D for any open office in 2019 out of sheer Trump hatred (yes I realize they're entirely unrelated). [/quote]

Come next year I don't necessarily want the Rs setting the agenda on the FCPS School Board but I sure as hell don't want another all-D Board.  This has led to all sorts of problems, including group think and a real unwillingness to challenge each other's worst impulses for fear of being seen as disloyal.  They let each other get away with all sorts of nonsense, and we're all the worse for it.
