[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone please summarize? If not school then what[/quote]

It is school, just not the CRT stuff or vaccine or mask mandates. They’re angry that schools stayed closed for as long as they did and that the Democrats seemed dismissive of parents’ concerns about the resulting disruption and learning loss. I certainly understand their concerns but they do come off a bit self centered… like all that matters is them and their family, not the healthcare workers or teachers or the medically vulnerable. I think Democrats’ biggest mistake wasn’t necessarily closing schools, but for not showing more concern about the fallout now. Terry couldn’t even manage to fake it. He just didn’t connect with suburban women as much as he needed to. [/quote]

I think in FCPS at least, the (Democratic) school board had lots of problems - telling families that schools [i]would[/i] open up, only to drop the idea once elections passed. Then going off and doing it all over again. Throwing their tech support staff under the bus over problems of their own creation. Being one of the best-funded school systems in the country, but not being able to implement a credible online education when we first went online.  There were plenty of examples of school systems which did a much better job of moving online even with less funding.  I think the confluence of a school board which was loudly Democrat but also loudly inept when it counted was something that people noticed.[/quote]
