Zuraya will win but we all know she'll be as useless as CDT and Priddy. Such a shame that ACDC runs this show otherwise Paul could have run as a Dem.[/quote] I don’t love ACDC either but they didn’t stop Paul from seeking their endorsement. That was all him. [/quote] The problem is your adamant need for the ACDC endorsement to support a candidate. Emblematic of the problem in the politics of our country as a whole. [/quote] PP here. My adamant need? lol, you know nothing about me. I just don't like misrepresentation. [/quote] DP. He never said he was endorsed by the Dems. He said he is a Dem. Going through the machine doesn't make you a Dem. Just ask Miranda. [/quote] hahaha, that's true. I hate that fake Dem Miranda is on the Board and was endorsed. I just think it's misleading that Paul is calling himself a Democrat, even though he didn't win, and didn't even run in the primary thing, whatever you call it. I don't remember anyone ever doing this ever. [/quote] What should a person who is a registered Democrat, supports the Democratic platform, and votes for Democrats call himself?[/quote] So you have just outed yourself as not even being from Virginia. If you were, you would know that you don't register by party in Virginia. I was skeptical of Miranda's party affiliation. Why can't I be skeptical of Paul's as well? He didn't even try for the primary. I would love a better way for Dems to prove they are real Dems. [/quote] Why are you so obsessed with party affiliation for local, non-partisan positions? And who or what do you think gets to determine/“prove” someone’s political affiliation? Kind of nuts….[/quote] Why are you so dismissive of it? With MAGAs crazies out there, it's more important than ever to me. [/quote] NP :roll: uh, yeah. Like there are TONS of MAGA voters in Arlington LOL. What a stupid statement, PP. :roll: [/quote] Oh they are here, especially in NA. Big overlap between MAGA and APE which is very very active in APS. Are you trying to keep this quiet PP? [/quote] Please describe their impact on APS and how specifically you have verified that their overlap with “MAGA” has effectively changed APS and caused harm to students. What policies have they put in place ?[/quote] [b]Miranda can’t do much because there is only one of APE officially on the board. But add a second or third and there goes our schools![/b] They tone down their Project 2025 ambitions for now, but it will all come out as more of them get into positions of true power. It blows my mind that Arlington is letting them get away with it. It’s like all of you forgot what happened in 2020-21. I guarantee you APE has not, and they want to ruin public education from the inside. It has already happened in liberal places like San Francisco and NYC. Wake up people before it’s too late. I’m sure I’ll get some hate and gaslighting from the APE’s on this board. It’s almost comical how predictable they are.[/quote] You speak exactly like a MAGA.[/quote] Huh? the APEs are more confused than usual. The APEs are the MAGAs. [/quote] I didn't accuse the PP of BEING a MAGA, just using the same hyperbolic type language of one. This is the problem in our society - people don't see that they do the same thing and deny it because it isn't the exact same words or coming from the same perspective. Add a republican and our schools WILL BE GONE! Elect the democrats and OUR COUNTRY WILL BE GONE, ELECTIONS WILL BE GONE![/quote] This is the double talk that APEs are known for. Nice try 👏👏[/quote] No they’re right. Basically any discussion of APS eventually gets ruined when someone calls APE, most likely by someone who hasn’t paid attention to [b]anything they’ve done since 2021[/b]. [/quote] You mean like write RWNJ crap in their newsletter and quietly support Youngkin? Even when he was cutting APS budget, etc? [/quote] I mean people just need to pay attention. All the APEs commented on the new accountability standards to the VBOE using the same email template despite opposition from public school advocacy groups that actually care about kids other than their own. APS even opposed it. I recognized so many names. [/quote] DP. I went to the VBOE website and saw the comments that Arlington parents made. Wow. Here you go: https://townhall.virginia.gov/L/Comments.cfm?StageID=10441 I don't know how much proof anyone needs at this point to see that APE is actively talking out of both sides of their mouth pretending to care about APS but instead causes chaos that will be far reaching. The new accountability standards is a thin veiled ploy for RW extremists to take control of our "failing" schools and turn them charter/private. And who does that benefit? Not those who are being taught in those schools. [/quote] There are still common interests that can be addressed through their advocacy. You don't have to agree with everything. See Liz Cheney and others - don't agree with the Dems on just about anything, but partnering up with them for their common cause of democracy and preventing an autocracy. I don't see the point in all this discussion. There is no threat of a R takeover in the SB election.[/quote] They have already infiltrated several committees/workgroups. And are quietly pushing RW agenda. They have to lie to accomplish their goals here in blue Arlington, but they are determined and have already succeeded once: Miranda. The point is we don't want any more lying Rs on the SB. [/quote]
