[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think the in crowd will allow local sane Democrat newcomers to become the nominees!?

Louise Epstein came close to beating Janie Strauss in Dranesville in 2011, and people weren't nearly as dissatisfied with FCPS leadership and the School Board as they are now.

Stay the course. [/quote]

Im a Dem and want to stay the course, but the Dem party's course these days is too progressive.  Sure, let's all hope for a centrist who is focused on teaching kids the core curriculum instead of CRT, but in reality and in this climate, I fear the Dem party will only put forward candidates equally as progressive, which in this context I mean more focused on imposing their morals vice teaching kids to read/write.  Plus the entire board is Dem, and look at where we are now.  Im not optimistic.[/quote]

Tholen goes along with the "progressive" agenda so long as she can cut deals with other Democratic members to keep her schools (Great Falls, Cooper, Langley) free of any meaningful economic diversity.  It's like Kathy Smith is her spirit animal. [/quote]

I wonder who this is who is so upset about the demographics of one school like it’s half of FCPS. There’s more to the school system than Langley you know.[/quote]

Not my post, but allow me to answer please.  Tholen's mismanagement and duplicity on the boundary is but one of many examples of her incompetence.  Tholen's blatant effort to appease her neighbors in Great Falls shows how far she will go to curry favor with other SB members and her merry band of friends while leaving the kids behind.  We all talk about how tough last year was on our kids, right?  How about take that pandemic pressure, then further burden the kids with a boundary change.  And remember, the boundary change only shifted maybe 30 kids this year, so it made no difference anyway.  So if Tholen is willing put a group of kids she "represents" through that stress for zero gain to MHS in terms of capacity relief, imagine how she will deal with issues not directly related to Dranesville.

All the while, gamara and sizemore sat back and nodded their righteous heads as Tholen outlined her boundary plan, and rolled their eyes in condemnation at parents.  They all represent the 'we know better than anyone else what is good for the kids" mentality.

So yes, Langley is but one school of many, but if Tholen screws up things so badly in her own back yard, it is clear there is no hope.
