[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maureen Brody, Cassandra Aucoin, and Saundra Davis are all stronger than Meren or any of the at large women on the school board. I don't know why you think the current school board is anything to admire that any new person has to overcome. The current board has very little substance beyond having a political background. These new people are running to replace absolute horrific destructive at large school board members like Omeish, Gamarra, and Heizer all who are not running because they did such a poor job. The new women are easily better than the current board and offer a new direction. That's all they need to be.[/quote] Maureen Brody was TEAR GASSED on January 6th during the riots. On what planet do you think that’s the type we need on the school board??[/quote] The people who are on the board now aren't even running again, they are that unpopular. The bar is low. I don't think these are the greatest people, but unless we get more balance on the board, no one remotely logical will want to run. Who wants to sit on a board with reasonable thought and have a board think they are too far right for something like textbooks in the classroom? There has to be some balance in order for there to be divergence of thought. The people on the board now are extreme. The people running on the democratic side are extreme. It's not about each of them. it's about restoring some balance.[/quote] You can’t get a reasonable balance with nutters. Look at what the nutters in Congress are doing right now. They aren’t going to fix anything, only make things worse. [/quote] I disagree. They can stall radical change and eventually bring in people more reputable. FCPS is headed in the wrong direction academically for all students. It's affecting the local economy and affecting our students well being. Even the lgbtq ones aren't doing better because of their radicalization. A balanced board will eventually bring balanced people.[/quote] A balanced school board needs a balanced population. Election is people's choice. Voters will have to swallow all the consequences. I will be surprised if any conservative candidates win in Fairfax. Let's wait and see. [/quote] The board of supervisors mase sure that won't happen when they switched the agreed upon redistricting map a few hours before the deadline, chopping the Sprinfield district into several pieces. The most stable population area contained all but 2 of the redestricted areas, making things less convenient for the constituents just to eliminate the last moderate in Fairfax County.[/quote] This was the most open redistricting process ever. I drew my own map and submitted it. Springfield had to lose precincts because it’s population decreased.[/quote] Anyone could submit a map but the boundary they redrew for the Springfield magisterial district was intended to help Cohen (before she decided to run for state office) and hurt Herrity. Democrats gerrymander, too. [/quote] That really isn’t true though. Springfield was the only district that lost residents so they had to make cuts.[/quote]
