Like another PP wrote, it won’t stop her from getting on to the board, but at least I won’t have helped her get there.

I’m not gonna vote for someone who acts like she deserves credit for living in the Valley when, as some of her supporters claimed during her first run, she and her husband could afford to live anywhere in Arlington. White savior much? [/quote]

Yeah she lived in the Valley but sent one kid to private school, and didn't send the others to the neighborhood school. Not good enough for her and Mr. Miranda MAGA apparently. [/quote]

TEMPORARILY sent one to private. They went Arlington Montessori for public. [/quote]

Exactly, they avoided going to Drew. With the black and brown kids. [/quote]

Stop this nonsense right now. I can barely stomach even spending the energy to confront the sheer ignorance in this post, but, Miranda currently lives in Green Valley. Presently. She was on Drew's PTA. Run your eyeballs instead of your mouth and do some research, it will serve you better. [/quote]

How many years have her three kids attended Drew, collectively? 
[/quote]

How many have YOUR kids attended there?[/quote]

Do you think you're clever? None of us are running for the School Board. Miranda is. I have never heard her say why she won't send her own kids to the neighborhood school with the black and brown kids in their neighborhood. [/quote]

I have. And it has nothing to do with skin color; everything to do with getting the educational needs of her own kids. Just like all you other parents who won't live anywhere near these schools. You just avoid it in a more "acceptable" manner. Virtual school didn't cut it - for a lot of us. She, like many others even in the "superior" schools up north, put her kid in private.

[/quote]

Do you even hear yourself? Drew isn't good enough for her own kids. But sure, nothing to do with the skin color of those who are there. Got it.

And she didn't put all of her kids in private, but she made sure to get them all out of Drew. [/quote]

Just like you did, except you weren't even willing to live in such a neighborhood to begin with and that's how you made sure your kids would never have to go to the worst-performing school in the system. And NO....people don't pull their kids out of Drew because of the skin color of the students. They pull them out because their kids' basic educational needs aren't being met. The fact that that correlates to the student demographics is a separate issue. [/quote]

Listen to yourself! Drew is good enough for the black and brown kids in Green Valley who have no other options but it doesn't meet the "basic educational needs" of Miranda's own precious snowflakes. And sure, this has nothing to do with demographics, nothing at all. Miranda's fake white savior complex sickens me. [/quote]

All you do is deflect.[/quote]

Look at YOU deflecting from the fact that you literally said that the school that the black and brown kids go to doesn't meet the "basic educational needs" of Miranda's own children so she's totally justified in sending her kids out of the neighborhood.[/quote]

Not a deflection. Perhaps that word doesn't mean what you think it means.
The problem is, that school doesn't meet the basic education needs of MOST of its students, regardless of their skin color. ANY parent would be justified in sending their kids to an option program. But, as noted earlier, nobody criticizes a person of color living in the neighborhood for doing so.[/quote]

I don't care whether some random Green Valley parent sends their kids to Drew. Miranda is not some random parent. She is running for the school board. So when she tries to win points for living in Green Valley but won't even send her own kids to Drew, people are going to take notice. You keep DEFLECTING from discussion of Miranda by asking other posters where we send our kids or pointing out that some hypothetical person of color in Green Valley might not send their kids to Drew. Doesn't matter. We're not about to be on the school board. She is. [/quote]

Be real. I wouldn’t send my kids to Drew and neither would you.[/quote]

Maybe not but it doesn't matter because I'm not running for the Arlington School Board while claiming I'm not avoiding black people. Miranda is. [/quote]
