[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flagging that APE is NOT anti trans. The Arlington parent  organization that is anti trans is Arlington Parent Coalition - it has NO connection to Miranda Turner or APE.

Miranda is a strong supporter of trans children’s rights, including using the bathroom of their chosen gender. To say otherwise is a blatant lie. [/quote]

The leader of the Arlington Parent Coalition is in APE, the organization that Miranda founded and led. So given that APE is Miranda's base, this raises questions about Miranda's position on trans rights.

If Miranda is a strong supporter of trans kids using the bathroom of their affirmed gender, as you claim, why doesn't she say so publicly? [/quote]

This is a lie. [/quote]

What is a lie? I was in APE and saw the leader of the Arlington Parent Coalition in the group. [/quote]

Lol so someone was in the Facebook group and you make assumption that they are tied w APE? Anyone can join the group and stay so long as they are respectful. [/quote]

So … they were allowed to be in the group because they were there and they were being respectful? Where’s the lie?[/quote]

You’re acting as though some rando in a Facebook group is somehow related to MT or APE leadership. It’s clear you’re a troll not engaging in good faith. Like many Facebook groups there is not a litmus test on who can join. And, no, I’m not part of APE leadership and I don’t even know who you are talking about but being in the Facebook group means nothing. [/quote]

Yeah but Arlington Parents for Education is not just a Facebook group. It's much much more than that and you know it. It's incorporated as a 501c4. It has a website. It has positions that it develops after polling its group. It tourts its membership as the number in its Facebook group. It puts out press releases and has a whole press operation.

So yes, I do find it rather concerning that one of these members is the leader of the anti trans group in Arlington, especially when APE's school board candidate won't make a clear statement in favor of trans kids rights.[/quote]

[b]So what you are saying is that this is the single most important issue in APS? [/b][/quote]

DP. It’s a dealbreaker for many Arlingtonians.
