[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, his entire career since HS has been as a political operative of some sort, so I would guess that he has more knowledge and connections into fundraising than many of the other candidates.   This is also why I don't really trust him.   He is not in it for the kids (especially since he does not have any of his own) but for himself.    [/quote]

You are totally out of line.  I didn't have kids until I was 42 but I was fully invested in my community and fully committed to public education (even taught for 7 years before burning out) so I cared deeply about the school system long before I had kids.  You don't have to spawn to care about good schools.  In fact, since he isn't distracted by child rearing, he has more time to devote to the work.

[b]Every time I see people commenting on Frisch not having kids, it reads to me like an anti-gay dog whistle.[/b]

FWIW, my understanding is that his husband is a teacher.  So that gives him even more skin in the game than a parent, and more quality knowledge from the reality inside a school and the system at large.  I'd take that as a personal family qualification more than being the random parent of a 5th grader.[/quote]

+1 from a gay HS teacher who knows first-hand how these people work[/quote]

It's disappointing that any teacher choosing to engage on Frisch's candidacy would use terms like "these people."  You certainly wouldn't like that if such a derogatory phrase were applied across-the-board to LBGTQ activists.  [/quote]
