[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYT finds connections between the Open Schools parents and the parents' rights anti-LGBTQ set. This is why a lot of people are worried about the leader of the local Open Schools group being on the APS Board.

You are really stretching. There is literally not even a hint of this in her personal statements or campaign materials, etc.

--someone who has actually engaged with her directly and personally and could not be less worried about this as a possibility[/quote]

Of course she is too smart to put this kind of stuff in her campaign materials or to say it out loud. But she didn't run away from it either, and she embraced those in the group that she led. I was in APE for a little while. People have choices about who to associate with and their choices are telling. I left when I realized who else was in APE with me and that those views were welcomed. It made me very uncomfortable. Miranda, on the other hand, led the group. [/quote]

So you're saying you want a group-think board that only listens to one type of person and sticks to the party line. Got it. [/quote]

I don't want someone who listens to the hateful anti LGBTQ crowd. All viewpoints are not equal. [/quote]

You definitely are the majority in Arlington. But then you can’t wonder why things are so poorly done in APS. I mean no one ever had any differing viewpoint and everyone says they are do everything perfectly. So I don’t understand why people like you even bother to get upset at anything in the schools? It doesn’t make sense - you got what you asked for and voted for 🤷‍♀️

Maybe you will rethink your position on group think after missing middle passes and a nice little condo building goes up a few houses down from you. I know there are older residents salivating at the prospect of this passing. Up until it passes they will say it’s a terrible thing, ruining the neighborhood, and so on. Week after it passes they will be looking for an agent to market their property to developers ….[/quote]

So you are ... sticking up for the hateful anti LGBTQ crowd because you think we need their differing viewpoint? Got it. [/quote]

Let’s not normalize LGBTQ bigotry in Arlington.

Miranda's supporters are showing their true colors. [/quote]
