[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are aspects of the Republican party that makes me worried about voting in a more right-leaning school board. Examples include banning books, encouraging students to report their teachers if the lesson makes them "uncomfortable," posting the Ten Commandments in schools, pushing a Christian-based curriculum, white-washing history, and so the list goes on.

We've already gotten a taste of some of that with the "rat out your teachers" hotline that Youngkin set up when he first came into office.

Our school board isn't perfect, and I disagree with them on issues, but when I look at other states, I'm glad we don't have to deal with right-wing Christian nationality flooding our schools with nonsense.

This is not the Republican party of old. This is a the party that will say, under oath, that Roe vs. Wade is established law. That vaccines won't be touched. If that's happening at the national level, I don't expect much different at the local government or school board level. [/quote]

Look, you and I are largely aligned ideologically, but I will never vote for a D in an FCPS SB election again. They hid their boundary review intentions during their campaigns, ignored their constituents to cram it through, and are hurrying the process to try to avoid blowback in 2027 (it won’t work).

As much as I don’t want all the things that you mention might come with an R on the school board, I’d rather those than having the school board look at my kid as their resource to paper over a poor performing school. All the R stuff I can discuss and contextualize with my kid. I can’t discuss away them having to leave their friends and have a significantly altered education because the school board felt the need to pick winners and losers based on zip code.[/quote]
