[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it fascinating how the powers that be and their political cronies react so negatively whenever parents they theoretically should be trying to serve express concerns with their questionable decisions.

The local Democrats are absolutely ruthless in their demonization of anyone who challenges them.  If you don't like them wasting money on "anti-racist" speakers at $20K a pop, you're a racist.  If you think the contract with the third-party boundary consultant is a waste of time and money, you're an elitist.  If you thought TJ was admirable before they started messing with the admissions, you're a bigot.  And if you don't like them stocking their library shelves with graphic descriptions of underage sex, you're a prude.

I think they are going to get an eye opening in the 2023 School Board elections, even if they can eke out victories this fall.  [/quote]

The issue is the scale and motivation behind those "complaints".

The GOP is actively pushing activists into these local groups to stir discourse and push their agenda. They even had someone on the TJ PTA stirring up trouble.

They amplify these issues out of context - e.g., screaming at the SB meeting instead of bringing it up for review, screaming about masks, etc.

It's all just irrational - not based on valid concerns - and playing at people's fears.
