[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey Deep Throat you might want to ease up on sharing random twitter posts on DCUM. Won't look good if people share the twitter posts that connect you to smart restart members and the robotexts you sent them. [/quote]

And now here come the unfounded attacks on Smart Restart. I was part of Smart Restart. SR is not really active anymore. It was a group of teachers and parents that advocated for safety measures during the pandemic, like hepa filters and lunch outside. We thought these things were common sense measures to get schools open, keep schools open, and keep teachers and kids healthy. We didn't realize they would be controversial. Most parents saw the logic and supported them. We thought the parents in APE might join with us, to get schools open. But our advocacy only infuriated APE and they attacked SR members mercilessly. I guess we were really naive because we didn't see that coming. At least I was naive back then. It was my first rodeo, so they say in APS advocacy. The attacks on teachers and parents were really vicious and ugly -- doxxing, online bullying, trying to hurt people's professions. They even contacted teacher's principals based on innocuous comments teachers online. I mean, who does that to teachers?!?

I have absolutely no idea who this Deep Throat person is. I'm just as curious as anyone else but I sure know it has nothing to do with Smart Restart. I assume the poster who is smearing SR is the same person or group who did all of this to parents and teachers in SR two years ago. It's truly ugly and I wish they would stop, but they can't or won't.[/quote]

This isn't exactly correct. SR actually would not let people be members of both APE and SR. So I don't think it's fair to say they wanted to work together.

But this was a mad, mad time, and it would be nice if people could stop the crazy and move on.[/quote]
