[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so not one woman was considered most qualified?  Not one?

Seems suspect.[/quote]

The local Dems endorsed 11 women and one man for FCPS School Board.  Haven’t heard any women complain about that unbalanced outcome.[/quote]

Most of the candidates for school board are women.  Very different from the WaPo not endorsing any women and asking them whether motherhood will interfere with their ability to hold elected office while rejecting the half the candidates who are women.[/quote]

You were complaining about the gender of those endorsed by the Post as well as the questions.

There were at least five men seeking FCDC endorsements for 12 school board slots but only one was endorsed.  An 11-1 slate doesn’t seem very balanced.  [/quote]

The FCDC results are available. Hundreds of people voted. That’s a little different.[/quote]

That is true, although it also cuts both ways.  Not sure having positions for a county with over a million filled by a couple of hundred party activists (many ineligible to vote in the general election) should be of less concern than the preferences of one editorial staff member at the Post.[/quote]
