[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched part of the meeting.  Some of the comments are really unbelievable.  One guy said that if the ACDC doesn't tell people who to vote for, the people of Arlington "might accidentally elect a conservation school board member."

Another went on and on about how progressive Arlington is with mentions of school name changes, an equitable calendar, focus on SEL, and something about transgender students, while throwing in a token partial sentence about "rigorous academics," which many people would argue should be the primary focus on public school.

Basically, ACDC has no trust in anyone but themselves and the few people able to caucus to decide who "should" be elected to the schoolboard. It is all about power and control.  These same folks complain about voter suppression in other contexts, but they are fine with their current system.[/quote]

Oh, so we keep the exclusionary caucus in place because Arlington might “accidentally” elect a conservative candidate.  I would laugh if it weren’t so terrifying at who is controlling our kids’ education and all the crazy things they think.

Btw-  even if a conservative “accidentally” got elected, how could one person dramatically change the actions of the Board??? And that’s a pretty big “if”!!!![/quote]
