Well, if they didn't write it explicitly into their documents then it's unpossible for it to be true!


So your evidence that is true is the fact that there's no evidence? neato

Those aren't their documents, by and large. Those are documents from other sources. ballotpedia just tries to provide an unbiased look at the stances of various groups.

This is just bonkers. I'm a charter parent and an avid proponent of strengthening the Establishment Clause. The two have nothing to do with each other. If that's your argument against groups like DFER then you're on very shaky ground.


That is their national agenda. Own it.

Obviously, we don't have that problem in DC....yet.

By any politician who is willing to court, much less accept their support is getting in bed with the agenda.


I'm lost where DFER says it wants public monies to go to religious schools. Can you show me?

The people opposed to DFER seem way way way more bonkers than DFER.

This is why I'm supporting Finley - better than Frumin on housing and transportation and toe-to-toe with him on education. He's also closer to my age than Cheh's age and I think it's time for a changing of the guard.


I’m a parent at John Eaton, which is located in the ANC that Beau Finley currently chairs. I can say with rather high confidence that Beau Finley couldn’t find Eaton if he had a map. He never expressed interest in education issues until he began his long shot campaign for the Council.


BS. He and Dubois were the only commissioners pushing for a larger renovation to Eaton years ago so that it wouldn't be at capacity so soon. Historic preservationists won out, though, saying any further renovation would be unsightly.


Finley is the ANC chair but much of the time he lives in MD. We’d like a real DC resident serving on the city counsel, please.

There are over 60 charter organizations in DC, but can you point out one that's operated by a church? You're making sh*t up!


Not in DC, PP said "nationally."

Please don't accuse people of making stuff up if you don't understand what they're saying.


gaslighting 101
