[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if APE is going to opine on CRT and masks?

Anyone seen this from them? [/quote]

Turner commented on masks on AEM. It was a pretty funny word salad. 
[/quote]

Interesting. From APE or Turner?

and just a comment on AEM, that's it? Really? This is the group that issues press releases and newsletters left and right but they can't put out a public statement on masks? I guess they don't want to.[/quote]

Turner doesn’t want to admit they support Youngkin’s order. It won’t help her secure the Dem caucus endorsement when she inevitably runs again this year. [/quote]

I would never vote for Miranda. If she’s the nominee I will write someone in. [/quote]

Especially now. If she doesn't support masks, ZERO chance I could ever vote for her. [/quote]

Yes, why would we ever trust her if she can't make a stand based on science/data on this very clear cut issue. She is pandering to the nut jobs.

[/quote]

She and APE are not taking a stand. Their press release yesterday was completely devoid of substance. Another word salad from her.[/quote]

It's not word salad to say "our group doesn't take a stand on this issue." She made pretty clear that they support open schools and want whatever keeps schools open. Getting baited into taking a stand on everything that hits the news isn't good for an organization in the long run, and you're just angry that they aren't playing your game.  [/quote]

Right. So she's pandering to the RWNJs instead of "following the science".

Wearing masks will play a big role in keeping kids in the classrooms. Isn't that one of their core interests? Why [i]wouldn't[/i] they comment on that? It's very telling that they won't.

It’s called “staying in your lane”[/quote]

This is their lane. They lobbied for test to stay, they lobbied on quarantines. They even had a position on freakin math pathways for god's sake.

This is a copout. They don't support masks. That's obvious. They can't because they have too many nutjobs in their base who are antimask. [/quote]

So to be clear you think masks are the single most important factor in education and you don’t care about academics since those don’t matter, only masks do.[/quote]

Not the PP.  Seems to me YOU are the one solely focused on masking policy, or at least solely focused on APE's decision to not take a position on that one issue.  It is possible to note that a group takes a position on everything but doesn't on one particular issue without believing that issue is the single most important factor in education.  PP is just griping about APE because PP clearly despises APE for reasons beyond mask policy position.[/quote]
