[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people point out that he has no kids it's not an anti-gay thing. It's pointing out that he has no long term stake in how children/students are getting educated. Sure, his partner is a teacher...but most parents are primarily interested in how public schools are serving the KIDS, and secondarily interested in how teachers are benefitting from FCPS. He has no background in education policy or practice; ,and he isn't even as educated as most parents (no bachelors or trade degree). So we are left wondering what he actually brings to the table. Gay-representation is one thing...and that's a plus...but then covid hit, and we found out that his priority is himself 9ver the 189,000 students (himsrlf and his partner...with the dramatic tears rather than c9ncerning himself with what 189000 KIDS needed). That's when he lost me forever. If he had kids in FCPS, he would have had to think about the damage to those kids. Since he doesn't have kids in public school...or kids at all...he was able to dismiss that from his concerns and focus entirely on his spouse to the exclusion of 189000 kids. He has shown that when push comes to shove he's looking out for himself first.[/quote] oh please. If you have a kid, you're looking out for 189,000 other kids? You're never looking out for yourself or only your kid (especially if you're on DCUM -- no self promotion here!). Focusing on desires of teachers is part of being on the school board. Focusing on future generations (even if you're not a parent) is part of being on the school board. Just admit that you were not "lost" when covid hit, but that you were never with the gays. [/quote]
