[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the Washington Post said:

"The Democratic and Republican parties each endorsed a slate, which is not unusual. [b]What is out of the norm is the poisonous tone that, by and large, has been set by the Republican-backed candidates.

They seem to have taken a page from President Trump’s playbook of trafficking in fear, misinformation and demonization.[/b] “Take back our schools” is their theme in a campaign that distorts the reality of Fairfax schools and the work of the current board. The 190,000-student system faces challenges — including retaining teachers, narrowing the achievement gap and modernizing overcrowded facilities — but the high-performing system is among the country’s best. [b]Contrary to GOP claims, no one is proposing lowered standards or massive, cross-county busing. Attacking the board for renaming J.E.B. Stuart High School to Justice High, updating the sexual health curriculum to include lessons about transgender issues and seeking to promote equity is wedge politics at its worst.[/b]"

The school board has no business doing those last three items.  That's why they are being brought up.  The school board should be apolitical[/quote]
