[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to remain calm and talk to your friend about why Cristina isn't a good fit for SB yet, assuming your DINK friends are liberals. She's not doing this because she is engaged in and informed about progressive politics. She's a tool of the plutocracy that is ACDC.

Have them read up on Teach for America and the charter school movement, and ask if they really think that's what's best for Arlington's kids.

Yes, Cristina is saying they she doesn't support charter schools in Arlington, but if they're so great, why not? And if they're not great, why is she hiding her involvement with them? They're half or more of her career. What does she know about education? [/quote]

I'm no Cristina supporter but the charter school argument is a bad one for her opponents.  TFA as an organization is pro-charter, but tons of the teachers themselves aren't.  They were 21-year olds who signed up for a feel-good, give-back teaching program before they graduated college.  They wanted to help inner city kids, etc.  It's a big leap to say all those people are pro-charter.  Cristina has said she doesn't support charters in Arlington.  What else do you need on this issue?  Weak arguments weaken stronger ones.  Put this one aside.  [/quote]
