That’s a Republican wet dream. Underfund schools for decades, complain about the quality, and then defund for the final nail in the coffin.

Why do they hate public schools so much? I don’t get it. [/quote]

The Republicans see public schools as an opportunity to build opposition to Democratic policies at the national level relating to immigration and DEI.  Youngkin's administration is on path now to deny accreditation to a slew of FCPS schools in a year or two, declare them "failing schools," blame others for the problem, and offer vouchers (and lower funding for public schools) as the "solution."

It's opportunistic and unfortunate, but one reason that it resonates with some people is that the Democrats in charge of systems like FCPS have also made it clear that they resent wealthier public schools and communities.  They do plenty on their own to reduce support for public education. [/quote]

Exactly this.  Democrats in the county have set their sights on umc and mc.[/quote]

Bullcrap. Democrats [u]are[/u] umc and mc.

Republicans look for any chance they can to trash public schools.

DP.  The Ds may be but they still operate locally based on a politics of resentment towards UMC families and schools and a commitment to an ill-defined and poorly articulated “equity” agenda.

You’re delusional if you don’t realize the Ds gave the Rs the opening to push their own agenda.  It helped get Youngkin elected and now he’s going to kick the likes of Karl Frisch in the ass before he leaves.  [/quote]
