[quote=Anonymous][quote]Nope. Brabrand and the SB are responsible. and Brabrand was essentially fired. He’s out next year. And the SB comes up fr election in 2 years, and I don’t know anyone who will vote on autopilot next time.

What Trump is responsible for is the degradation of public norms and the governance by shock and outrage. It’s now become essential on the GOP side to pul stunts and go on Fox News.[/quote]

No.  You don't understand.  No one ever pays attention to SB without being affected.  For example, during the 2008 South Lakes redistricting, the communities affected were stunned.  The only ones who knew it was coming were the South Lakes PTSA who planned the whole thing with Stu Gibson.  The communities taken from Westfield and Oakton were stunned.
Yes, there was a warning buried in the minutes of the SB meetings, but it was obscure until it began in earnest.  If you think the Great Falls outrage was big, then this was monumental.

And, FWIW, I watched the meetings--that is when I began paying attention.  Many Asian Americans testified and were upset.  They begged for South Lakes to switch to AP and were shut down.  In fact, SB members were quite unkind to them.  That is when I realized the hypocrisy.

And, I know people who live in that area--they would still much prefer AP to IB.  That may come up again now that the rules are changed for TJ.  That area is a feeder to Carson.  Many of the kids in that community went to TJ.   I'm guessing fewer do now.
