[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a tremendous amount of gaslighting by the local Democrats.

You might not like the tremendous learning loss due to the all-D School Board keeping schools closed so long...but the alternative is "too Trumpy."

You might not like the rushed nature of the TJ admissions changes, and the strong undercurrent of anti-Asian bias on the part of the all-D School Board...but the alternative is "too Trumpy."

You might not like the disproportionate amount of time spent by the all-D School Board focusing on the needs of just a few communities...but the alternative must be an adjunct to the "Moms of Liberty."

You might be appalled by the neglect of facilities and the decades-long overcrowding that's gone unaddressed by the all-D School Board at some schools...but the alternative must be one step away from January 6th protesters.

You might be disappointed with the continued drop in SAT scores at almost all FCPS high schools during the tenure of the all-D school Board...but the alternative "hates" the LBGTQ community.

And so on.

It's so transparent:  you [b]must [/b] not only accept, but support, the status quo (with its constant focus on "equity," whatever that is deemed to mean at the moment, and increasing lack of transparency), or you're a bad person who either wants Trump back in the White House or a return to the Dark Ages.

I call BS.  People just want a well-managed public school system that focuses on academics, and recognizes and rewards merit, again.  [/quote]

It’s great to have a “well-managed public school system that focuses on academics, and recognizes and rewards merit,” but it’s a problem if the people at the top are motivated by hatred of others.

Or are you someone who would be perfectly happy living in a country where “the trains run on time,” no matter what kind of people are making that happen?

I'm not aware of anyone who stands to be in a position of being a "person at the top" who is motivated by hatred of others, with the possible exception of Abrar Omeish, whose tenure on the School Board has been characterized by repeated statements that were virulently anti-Israel (and possibly anti-Semitic as well) and Ricardy Anderson, whose resentment of families sending their kids to more affluent middle schools than those in her district often seems to border on flat-out hatred.

It would indeed be a problem if people at the top of FCPS were motivated by hatred.  It is also a problem when they are motivated by resentment or, to allude to your comment about "keeping the trains running on time," fail to attend to their basic responsibilities because they are so consumed with constantly reassuring certain groups (though certainly not everyone) that they are loved.
