[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miranda Turner just started a thread on AEM to address all of the rumor mongering and invite people to contact her if they have questions or issues they would like to discuss.  If she’s willing to jump into that lions den, she definitely has the flame-retardant underpants necessary to deal with Arlington parents.  [/quote]

Oh man.  In that post, when explaining that she’s a life-long Democrat, she says her views reflect those of the “Democrat party.”  According to Wikipedia, this is an epithet to describe the Democratic Party that is used disparagingly by Republicans.  It’s literally the way Republicans mock the Democratic Party.  If she was trying to persuade her readers that she’s a democrat, that probably wasn’t the way to do it.[/quote]

Republicans who do that don't tend to have BLM signs in their front yard, FWIW.  They don't tend to be open supporters of the NAACP.  They don't tend to be donors to the Democratic Party (yes, there are public records to substantiate that).  Enough with the dirty politics.  [/quote]

Im not engaging in “dirty politics.”  I’m laughing at the irony of using a disparaging term for the Democratic Party to convince voters that you are a democrat.  It was funny, or at least I thought it was.[/quote]

It looks like she edited the quotations in AEM, unless I'm missing it. She had time to do that, but not to answer whether she supports trans, gender nonconforming and nonbinary youth.[/quote]

This is also a stupid gotcha. It's not up to the board members to come up with ideas for how to implement and enforce policies. They are there to review, approve and hold accountable. It sure seems like Mary Kadera would be happier with a job in the APS administration making policies and plans instead of being on the board approving them. [/quote]

It'a not a gotcha. SB candidates in the past have been asked these questions. Their responses do inform citizens in how they will vote. I personally cannot cast a ballot for a candidate that thinks of some children as less than.

Really, all she has to do is answer the question.It's not that hard. Or is it?[/quote]
