[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think it's kind of sneaky and dishonest that Miranda has no reference to her role as a founder/leader of APE on her website. We know what you did and who you did it with. Just own it. Be honest.

What are you talking about? THere is literally a FAQ on her website.

About APE:

What is Arlington Parents for Education (APE)?
Arlington Parents for Education is a local bipartisan group of Arlington parents that formed during the pandemic out of a Facebook group to advocate for APS to provide the option of in-person school. I remain proud of my advocacy, which involved efforts on a county-wide basis to persuade, engage respectfully, and use evidence, and leadership in encouraging others to do the same. APE still exists and you can learn more on their website.

I have been also proud of how our Arlington community has moved past that divisive debate to work together to continue to better our schools. As we came out of the pandemic, I helped shift APE’s focus to good governance issues and academics. Currently, APE’s advocacy activities range from meeting with local elected and APS officials, to publishing a regular newsletter on APS and speaking at School Board meetings, to active participation in the Arlington Civic Federation. A number of members are active politically in Arlington Democrats.

I resigned from APE’s board last year in order to pursue election as your next School Board member. I’m asking for your vote! [/quote]

The truth doesn’t mattter to these trolls. They just complain on AEM and then spread trash here. [/quote]

That is new, was not there the other day. Interesting.[/quote]

Was there a couple days ago when I first saw you make the same comment on AEM. Went and looked and it was there. I really hope people don’t take what they see on these forums as gospel and do some of their own digging. Also went and looked at the employer everyone keeps harping about. You’d think he worked for a crises pregnancy center. It’s a libertarian think tank hardly the boogeyman y’all made it out to be. Is there some crazy litmus test that every person you ever advocated alongside with must be ideologically pure and same as yourself? No wonder this country is going to shit. Look, you disagreed about covid and thought some parents were too aggressive. Consider that parents were watching their kids suffering at home during virtual learning. I wasn’t comfortable returning until a vaccine for teachers but I also had the privilege of working from home. I also see in hindsight that most schools outside of blue bubbles were open all along and were FINE. They were right in retrospect. I didn’t vote for M the first time but I likely will this time. At least I know she’s willing to take an unpopular stance. I signed up for the APE newsletter awhile ago and it is excellent and has no crazy culture war crap that some posters seem to have fever dreams about. I’m happy to learn more about  Erin but her issues seem to be similar to APE’s, but I haven’t actually seen her doing anything about them. As for the kid, took a look at his twitter and website and saw enough to no longer consider him a worthy candidate. [/quote]

This is weird, I am not sure who you think you are talking to but you sound very bitter.
