Please look at August 27 with his welcome back to school. The only thing he really talks about is advocacy for social issues. Then look at August 26 and tell me if you would post a picture of your child that looks like this.

It's an adorable photo - if you thought anything else, then you are a disgusting pervert.

The liberal board members shove things through that teachers cannot support. It’s broken.

Ryan is a fool. People will vote for him though. I have no idea why.

Schultz is marching in lock step with Trump and other Republicans who gave tax breaks to billionaires but want to freeze the pay of public sector employees. If that’s the “voice of reason” to you, you should vote for her again. Otherwise, she’s no friend of teachers and there’s not much for Springfield District residents in having her as their representative.

No. Not a dirty mind at all. Just common sense that you do not post a picture like that. I hope he sees this post and takes the picture down.

Right, because Facebook isn't full of innocent pictures that parents post of their kids.

Ryan doesn't have to delete a tweet just because you're a perv.

LJ, gathering information? This is a bogus thread, right?

Investigations are ongoing related to Lake Braddock’s situation. Elizabeth Schultz met with the superintendent to make sure he was on top of problems happening at the biggest school we have. Without intervention by Elizabeth Schultz, there would be no leadership at all at Lake Braddock and many of us would have left. The temporary interim principal was killing the school. He’s gone and the damage is being undone slowly. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Was he an ice skater? Likes frozen? What's with the picture behind his professional photo?

Dead link.

So are the Democrats going to find a way to boot Elizabeth Schultz next year or not?

Apologies for the dead link - try this.

re: grade inflation

A father asked his daughter how she was doing in school. She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA, and that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA.

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA"

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

social justice...?
