[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so done with the ACDC.  I’m starting to understand why some of my friends get so angry with the democrats despite a strong dislike for all things Republican.  They say all politics are local.  If the democrats want to influence who makes decisions about my local schools because they have some national agenda they want implemented, while I’m sitting here just hoping to have a representative who will help streamline the way kids like mine (dyslexic) get reading instruction, they will lose my support across the board.  This is too personal.  They need to make a clean exit from school board elections.[/quote]

It’s just about priorities. Literally all the local Democratic Party cares about is “green” living and subsidized housing. Despite the fact that these two causes directly lead to higher enrollment (density/urbanization brings more people, including children, whodathunk?), they see schools are a nuisance that draws funding away from those nobler causes. That’s why they hold a caucus. To control the schools. Time was, parents got fed up with this and moved to Fairfax. Which helps explain why Fairfax spends 50 percent of the county budget on education and Arlington spends less than 40 percent. But no one wants to spend 40 dollars a day on tolls and spend 12 hours a week in traffic, so they are staying out and having kids here. And that is really becoming a problem for the blue hairs that have long run this place. That’s why they want to crown a childless young adult for school board.[/quote]
