[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems only voucher enthusiastics are vocal on this debate.

I, as a FCPS parent, do not support vouchers. They are not going to solve problems in public education.  If you don't like the politics (DEI, empathy, religious neutral) of FCPS, then spend your own money to find the school you like.  I support your right to choose but not your right to take the money out. [/quote]

But those supporting vouchers are putting money in as well, often a good bit more money than others with kids in FCPS.

When a supposed public good no longer really functions as a public good, but instead as a sandbox for those with a particular agenda, it’s no surprise that people want to abandon the charade.

I’d feel differently if FCPS was well run, but the incompetence gets worse every year while the politicization of FCPS only increases.  FCPS has become the NPR of public school systems. [/quote]

First, I do not consider "NPR" as a derogatory term.   Second, I don't know what you are talking about.  How can you say with a straight face that FCPS "no longer really functions as a public good".

We live in different realities.  [/quote]

RWNJs pushing BS talking points to push their agenda.

I started this voucher thread, but just made sizeable donations to NPR and PBS this week. So to the extent you think it’s just RWNJs pushing their agenda, I happily disabuse you of that notion.

I am generally in favor of public schools, but the school board’s unnecessary comprehensive boundary review is causing me to swiftly reevaluate that support.[/quote]

School districts shift boundaries all of the time. But this one makes you want to give up on public and push RWNJ talking points. Sounds feasible.

Exactly, it’s is normal in other school districts to boundary switch based on population needs and it’s usually done without this much pushback and fuss. Of course some people push back but this has now been a problem for multiple years.[/quote]
