[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Signing event also tomorrow (Monday) for Cohen from 10-6 at the Old Keene Mill Shopping Center at 8424 Old Keene Mill Road. [/quote] I don’t get this. Cohen’s district is not near there. [/quote] It’s almost as if this whole thing isn’t exactly on the level![/quote] It's almost as if the pro school board folks don't actually live in Fairfax County or have kids in fcps.[/quote] +1![/quote] Some of us are caught in between. Not necessary super happy with this SB but not a fan of some of the Open FCPS rhetoric. [/quote] I can see that. But if you feel that way, sign the petition (in particular Omeish since any ffx vter can sign that one). Once the petition meets the recall threshold, get together with your centrist and left of center friends and put up a true moderate. Put up a Meghan or a Chap. Trust me, the #openfcps will be thrilled to have moderates replace the extreme left wing members. If the centrists and traditional liberals don't help stand up to the extreme left wing crazies taking over your party, we are all doomed. Stand up for your kids and our public school system by signing the recall, then put up a fiscally aware, middle of the road moderate who understands schools. Stand up for a school board that wants to focus on education and not on politics. Just because you sign the petition, does not mean that you are committing to voting for the nexf Elizabeth Schultz. If you want a moderate school board and hate the incompetence of this radical school board, sign the petition and go find a moderate to run.[/quote] +1. I look at it like this. At some point, moderate Rs had to break with Trump or be complicit. Identifying with the goals of a political party does not mean you owe them undying fealty in all things. At some point, you either stand up and say no. Or, you’re Mitch McConnell. I was a parent endorsed slate of candidates for the next election, all of whom are actually focused on the “Main Thing” and are in favor of academic excellence and good financial stewardship. And committed to actually tackling real problems, like Western County boundaries and Eastern County IB. And all of whom have committed to not taking a dime from educational special interests (testing companies, unions, etc). Parent funded only. In this county, it can be done. [/quote]
