Open FCPS is dominated by Great Falls residents and other upper middle class or rich residents, predominantly white . Look at the data and notice that most middle class and lower income residents and black and hispanic residents didn’t send their kids back even when schools opened.

Yes, residents of Great Falls are best described as peasants. 🙄


Surely Jack Kiraly and Jimmy Bierman of the Fairfax Democrats can find someone a little more noble to champion than Elaine Tholen. She may have a D attached to her name, but it's not like she does anything to advance their agenda. Support for recalling her crosses party lines and zip codes.


+1
I’d add Omeish to that comment too. She’s an embarrassment.

Do you seriously think that only Great Falls residents are involved in recall petitions? You do realize this is a big county, right? Wow.

I agree. It’s a ludicrous rebranding made even more clear by the fact they had to issue a press release stating they’re nonpartisan.


+100
This SB is very much endorsed by Democrats.


Oops - PP here. Please disregard my post! ^^^ I thought you were referring to the SB. Open FCPS is very much nonpartisan.

Yeah, they were a bunch of nonpartisan Trumpers.


You’re clearly unaware of who is part of the OpenFCPS FB page.

Haha, nothing will happen.


DP. Possibly true, but the recall petitions ensure that none of these candidates will be able to successfully run for SB again. Too many voters are now aware of their incompetence. So that’s very much a win. Sorry to disappoint.


You’re wasting your time so you can pretend to be powerful and ZERO of the school board members will be removed. Sorry to disappoint.


You seem slow. I just stated that the recall effort might not actually work, but it will certainly put a BIG black mark next to the “officials” in question and ensure they’ll never win an election again. Which is really the entire point.

Grow up.


Y’all first. Buncha whiny toddlers soiling their diapers because they didn’t get their way. Buck up and vote against them next time- or heck run yourselves! But that would require more than passive action and y’all know YOU couldn’t take the heat once you fail to live up to your neighbors’ lofty expectations.


Stopped reading at “y’all.”


OK, you’re snotty and ignorant. Thanks for letting us know. Shrug.



Y’all seem triggered.

Well, between complaining about Democrats every chance and aligning themselves with Pete Snyder…


#openfcps two favorite politicians are democrats, fyi.

They are bipartisan.


Pete Snyder isn’t a Democrat.


Pete Snyder gave money to the recall group, which has overlap with the #openFCPS group but isn't the same. That's been stated before, but apparently people prefer to overlook it?

It is sort of weird, the degree to which any challenge to the status quo is met with laughter and eye rolls.


The status quo in FCPS is one in which requests for consistency, accountability or attention to what matters to parents are ignored, and the School Board's infallibility is presumed because they occasionally talk about "equity."
