I literally DGAF about the school board.

I do GAF when GOP astroturfers try to hurt our schools and our kids.

You *legit* don’t like the books? Submit a request for review. Tell your kids not to read them. Don’t spread misinformation (it’s not pedophilia FFS) or throw a tantrum at the school board to get a spot on the RWNJ channels.

It’s intellectually dishonest to play dumb on the GOP’s role here.

So many cliches.  Can you go away for a spell while people try to clean up this mess?  [/quote]

Truth hurts.

I'll be here calling out the astroturfers each and every time.

Repeating an earlier comment:  This can't be an issue about parenting and what is appropriate for the school library. Try to engage, and you'll be attacked.

For the left, EVERY issue is about politics. Politics IS their religion, sadly.  This is you.[/quote]

If it were an issue about parenting, then parents would have brought it up with the librarian or principal. No, it had to be a big public spectacle. A political stunt.

And enough with the intellectual dishonesty. We all know WHY this is being discussed NOW and WHO is pushing it.

I do NOT want politics in school. And I certainly don't want politicians and their lackeys (hello, PDE) hurting our schools for their own personal benefit.

It's all about politics to you.  In reality, though, it's very simple.  A parent uncovered this mess and made it public.  Why?  [b]Because sunlight is the best disinfectant.[/b]  And now concerned parents like me are aware.  You'd rather that such material fly below the radar.  If you're proud of this material and believe it's appropriate, then why do you care if it's existence is made public?[/quote]

You know why people are objecting to the manner in which she chose to do this.  Even people who disagree with the content.

I’ll b so happy we the election is over and the BS gets toned down..  There was time when I was considering voting for Youngkin based on schools. But I can’t if it means education turns into a Trumpy shock and awe mess.  [/quote]

Exactly. There are plenty of ways to ways to address sincere concerns about FCPS books/materials that don’t involve political stunts.

Or don’t involve astroturfers like Asra pushing hysterics.

I assume that you are equally opposed to political stunts by those whose viewpoints you support?  Or it is a one-way street.?

Agree or disagree, school board meetings are a public forum.  There is broad First Amendment protection.  People can and should bring up any issue that it is important to them.[/quote]
DP.  Can you give some examples from FCPS board meetings of political stunts by people of other views?[/quote]

The PP's complaint was about political stunts in a public forum.  It doesn't matter if it's at a school board meeting, or a zoning meeting, or in a public park.  There are plenty of examples of people on both sides acting like fools in public fora.[/quote]
