[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Echoing some PPs, I am open to voting for any candidate, no matter the party endorsement.

Issue that I care the most about: the quality of academics at FCPS. (Doing something about the lack of quality.)

Caveats: 
*I do not care about punishing people who closed the schools during the pandemic. Move on. 
*I will NOT vote for someone who makes a priority of creating a hostile environment for LGBTQ kids. 
(And for those who make assumptions about me based on this statement: I have ordered the two books mentioned and will read them with an open mind. But even if I find them wholly inappropriate, I cannot imagine making two books in high school library shelves into a catalyst issue. I haven't read every post but, from what I have, this thread has covered: a couple controversial books, a proposed but not implemented plan to refer to kids by their "gender assigned at birth," and the notion that referring to gay people at all might be considered in elementary school as reference to sex and therefore inappropriate. I am by no means a political activist nor a nutty liberal, but any candidate who underlines these three points as their big identifying issues has lost me.)

Please tell me which candidates are genuinely invested in working to raise academic standards without emphasizing those particular gender/sexuality points.[/quote]

I also want an return to an emphasis on academics over solely focusing on gender issues.[/quote]

Agree.[/quote]

I also agree, but I would restate it as wanting a return to an emphasis on academics with NO focus on gender issues, whatsoever.

Must be nice to move through the world without having to deal with discrimination or have a kid who worries about getting bullied because they’re gay or trans. You’re awesome. [/quote]

Oh, here we go. Does the narcissism ever stop?  [/quote]

Yep, that’s the question, and the answer as evidenced by your response is “no”.[/quote]

The response evidences the fatigue with the LWNJs who care not a whit about academics but turn everything into a referendum on trans rights.  You are so very tiresome. [/quote]

DP.

This describes how I feel about the all-democrat school board we have now.  I just feel like it is time for a change.

From what I have heard from the new democrat candidates running for open seats, they do not plan to do anything different from their predecessors, and will continue to de-emphasize academics, while focusing only on gender issues, or other non-academic projects.[/quote]
Idk, there’s a good chance that equity will be a big focus by democrats elected to the school board. That seems like issue number one followed by lgbtq stuff. Unfortunately that also has been seems to reduce academic quality and results.[/quote]
