[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What embattled Tholen and Cohen fail to recognize is that the recall petitions, even if impeded by local Democratic prosecutors (or, more accurately, non-prosecutors), are a giant vote of “no confidence” in their continued service on the School Board. Both should take a cue from Beth Barts in Loudoun and resign. [/quote]what % of the actual voting public in their district signed the petition? How many of them would never vote for Tholen or Cohen anyway?[/quote]

The petition bar is far lower than the number of people who regularly vote against them. It should be easy to for conservatives to get 10% of voters to sign a petition. The fact that they have trouble meeting that low bar shows you how little trouble the board is actually in. [/quote]

Most conservatives like myself have given up all hope that Fairfax County will move to the right.  Most of the conservatives I know rarely vote when there are only local races (vice a presidential election).  This includes the 2019 school board race.  No conservative was going to win in that field.

Then the pandemic happened, the board fumbled and failed our kids at every turn, while promoting progressive CRT, p0rn in the libraries, renaming schools instead of opening schools, dumbing down TJ, re-upping braband's contract, and delivering an ineffective boundary change at McLean through a manipulative process.  This got many conservatives like myself off the couch and donating to efforts to recall these clowns, holding signs, signing petitions.  These progressives motivated people like me.  So conservatives will be ready in 2023.

What Elaine and the others need to really worry about is that most of the things (admittedly not all) in my list above cross party lines.  There is a noticeable number of Democratic families are not happy with how Elaine and the board handled things over the last 18 months.  Even many Democrats dont want to co-parent with FCPS.  Does this mean these Democratic families will vote republican?  Maybe, maybe not.  But it is very likely that these Democratic families will not vote for Elaine and the Clown Club.  Add that to the motivated Republicans, and Elaine loses, Karl loses, gamara loses, and possibly rachna.  Honestly, Id be happy with just that.[/quote]
