[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I genuinely want to know if the ACPS administration and school board is influenced by a shadow group of parents, presumably women. [/quote]

I think it's more of a symbiotic relationship. The parents (not all women but mostly) praise ACPS and actively try to silence parents who disagree. They get special treatment for their kids and get to feel special because local elected officials know them (so weird and pathetic but true).

Some of the most vocal supporters of ACPS either quietly put one or more kids in private or pay $$$ for tutors while pretending that everything is great for their kids. The best example of this is the former President of PTAC signed on to an op-ed praising ACPS' reaction to COVID. Right around the same time he was seen on private school open house zooms.

You'll also hear them say things like "my kid never sees the violence" or "my kid is in all honors classes in a different part of the school so it's great". They are proudly talking about how the schools are segregated and are proud that they benefit from it. Many are probably really sad about systemic racism...blind to the fact that they are very active participants.

They are a huge part of the problem. [/quote]
