If a group of people could sue because of lack of education, who do you think would have standing? Hint: it wouldn't be the typical dcum crowd who can afford lawyers and whose kids go to the schools with high test scores.

That's why there is no general right to a (quality) education: because then all those families who go to schools you don't consider good enough would have the right to sue even during normal times.

What is this mythical teachers union I keep hearing about?

Parents sued over a racist book before. Why wouldn't parents as a class have standing in a case against the Board and union for negligence? Of course you could and any parent with a kid in the FCPS would have standing. I would join that class.

Just give me vouchers, please. I have always been a public school supporter, but the past year has broken something.

You don’t get to defund public schools because you’re mad the pandemic didn’t go your way. It just doesn’t work like that.

Op, feel free to sink your own money into this little farce.

Well if you aren't suggesting litigating, what sort of legal action are you contemplating? Your post seems entirely contradictory.

Haha good one.

Good luck with that
