Neither liberal or conservative white people are sending their kids to these schools. The way I see it, this mostly blue leaning county won't understand what is going on until they have to feel it in their schools. So if two-thirds of the county is going to vote for policies that support the importation of more poverty, then they should have to share it. Please convince your liberal friends and neighbors to stop voting blue.

Can you please explain what a Republican would do differently?  How will voting Republican translate into better schools?  I'm curious because in general, Republicans tend not to favor spending money on education.  And aren't most red state public schools pretty bad compared to FCPS?  Do you really think ESL students will go away if Republicans take over Fairfax County?[/quote]

If voters will stop voting Blue at all levels then perhaps the rate of immigration can be slowed which would help communities across the country, not to mention Fairfax. Honestly, people around here just throw up their hands and say, "Can't win, don't ry".
 
As for the schools themselves - Republicans could refocus on the basics, ensure their are enough text books, kill off programs like IB, and stop the obsession with social justice issues. ESOL costs have gone way up in the last 15 years - some of this money could be spent in other areas if this tide of non-English speakers was at least slowed down.

What the hay bells are you on about?  Our president is Republican, our senate is Republican and until just recently our house was republican.  Legal border crossings (amnesty seekers) are at an all time high... hasn't been this high since come to think of it George Bush was in office... yep you guessed it another Republican.  What makes you think people who live safely tucked away in gated communities, far far away from the rif raf, care one iota about you and your having to live elbow to elbow with those you deem undesirable.

Do you expect Gerry Connolly or Don Beyer are going to help the situation? Or Jennifer Wexton? Or Sharon Bulova (or her replacement)? Or Sheriff Kincaid? Please tell me who is going to help? Ralph Northam? Senators Kaine or Warner?

Not happy that the Republicans didn't do more. They were not helpful to the President. Then again many Republicans don't want him to succeed in this area. He really is more like an independent with no friends in Washington (not that he helps himself in that area lots of the time). I think the only reason he won the 2016 election is because he was the only one who came out with a hard stand on immigration. And I am not against immigration, I just think it needs to be controlled/managed. Right now it is a cluster where the laws work against our own best interest.

Meanwhile, FCPS will continue to sink. People are skipping it for Arlington, Loudoun, or private schools. FCPS enrollment actually dropped this year.[/quote]
