[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all are delusional. APE has never waded into culture war issues. They have a Facebook group and newsletter subscribers that reach over a 1000+ people according to their website. A member (supposedly as I still have no idea who you’re talking about) in the Facebook forum also belong to PDE (is that right?) which has anti trans views. Anyone can join the Facebook group. But because the website references their reach therefore MT = anti trans. Posters here okay to leap to transphobic assumptions while simultaneously taking pains to explain why MT’s supportive tweet of a picture of the APS trans student asking a tough question at the townhall somehow means the opposite of what any reasonable person would interpret. The posters here need to step back and let the forums play out. Given MT’s tweet and other comments I’ve seen her post and link to, I have zero doubt she’s a trans-ally. Is that her top issue on campaign? No and I hope not given that APS policy is supportive of trans kids and it would be pure virtue signaling. I’m sure she will be asked a pointed question on this and she will answer and until then you’re all just massively speculating and spreading lies on the internet. [/quote]

Yikes, my man. Rewriting history here. I was here in 2020-21 too, and APE members definitely waded into the culture wars. Your big tent has trash people. Deal with them.[/quote]

Really? Which issue? Because I’ve also been in the Facebook group and have been very impressed that they rise above all that nonsense. And they put out a regular newsletter, have all their issues on their website, and disclose who their speakers are at meetings. I’ve NEVER seen them touch a culture war issue. They’re hyper local issues about budget, curriculum, small class sizes, and teacher pay. You probably saw a stray comment on some Facebook post and have run with it being their platform. For the lurkers out there: this thread has gone off the rails, suggest you check out for yourself these assertions and leaps of imagination to see how off base they are. I look forward to you all looking like fools when MT affirms her support for trans students in a forum. I’m sure you’ll all be twisting in knots on how to spin it to mean the opposite of whatever she says. [/quote]

I agree. Miranda should weigh on this. Right now. Disavow herself of Youngkin's Transgender Model Policies and say on the record that trans boys are boys and trans girls are girls, and they absolutely should use the same bathrooms as their gender and play sports with people of their same gender. It's not that hard.

Honestly, Miranda's supporters here are making it worse for her by insulting and calling out "mental health" every time someone poses a thought different from theirs.

It's just like what they did in the last campaign. Last time they labeled everyone who didn't agree 100 with them as a closed schooler.

They got so hostile and irrational.
