Please tell me which candidates are genuinely invested in working to raise academic standards without emphasizing those particular gender/sexuality points.

The at-large candidates who fit this description are

-Cassandra Aucoin
-Maureen Brody, and
-Saundra Davis

What are their plans/positions?

Cassandra’s main focus is on restoring parent engagement/input and restore a focus on academic excellence for all children.

Maureen was a PTA president at Justice HS and wants to try to eliminate wasted in the FCPS system by conducting an independent audit. She also wants to focus on low-performing schools and find solutions that actually work. She additionally will focus on academics, including an emphasis on phonics, plus coding/STEM.

Saundra Davis believes FCPS schools should be freed of politics, and focus on teaching academic subjects instead. She also wants to change the Board to allow parent voices to be heard and considered on matters affecting their children’s education.

Brody was at January 6. We already have an award winning auditor. FCPS is already very focused on low-performing schools and phonics. So big no to her. How about Hussein?

There is no waste in FCPS? I find that extremely difficult to believe.

Karl Frisch does not even have children, let along children in FCPS. He is a lifelong political activist whose far-left, special-interest policies have been a disaster for learning in FCPS.

He is the last person who should be re-elected, because he obviously does not care about academics and will put learning last on his list of priorities.

If McDaniel and Lady are associated with Frisch, they just lost my vote too.

Pandemic in person school closure for one full year - no additional info needed.

Other books banned by activists that are worth reading to understand the genuine concern of parents at FCPS about gender ideology activism at our schools, particularly because of its effect on kids who identify as experiencing body dysmorphia:

1. Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness by Miriam Grossman, MD.
2. Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans: Tales from the Home Front in the Fight to Save Our Kids by Josie A. and Dina S.
3. Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters by Abigail Shrier.

You’ll never get a straight answer on this. Just go look at their websites and see how empty they are.

Saundra Davis is lying to people saying she’s an independent and dodging hard questions such as LGBTQ protections. If you lie and dodge during the campaign, you’ll lie and dodge when in office.

Maureen Brody was a participant in the January 6th riot and was even tear gassed. She is also rabidly anti-LGBTQ.

Add these republicans to the other republicans running like Harry Jackson who was arrested 3 times for beating his wife, and Cynthia Walsh who claims vaccines cause autism and you get a true basket of deplorables.

Vote wisely or you’ll end up with the worst parts of humanity doing nothing except tearing down our schools.

We have at least one boy at our FCPS high school who now use both the boys and girls bathrooms in the same day, because his gender changes by the minute depending on who know what, probably to follow specific girls into the bathroom.

Girls parents have complained and other boys have spoken up, but the principals hands are tied.

It is not "punishing" transgender kids when schools communicate with parents. If the parents are informed and signed off on their kids trans status, then we will finally have reasonable gatekeeping to protect the actual trans kids and to prevent other kids, possibly predator kids, from exploiting the current open door bathroom and locker room policy.

Trans kids as a group are particularly at risk for exploitation, abuse, trafficking or worse by strangers on the internet, far more than from their parents. Getting their parents informed should be the priority of FCPS, as should following the very reasonable governor's policy.

Instead, FCPS actively hides the information from parents, and pushes them towards unvetted, unsupervised, adult internet strangers via sanctioned forums like the trevor project, or towards that ffx lunatic who has been publicly telling minor children to run away from their families to live with him and his friends if their parents don't "affirm" their new gender or if they don't want to share their trans status with their parents. With open predators like him, why would FCPS not want to get the parents informed as quickly as possible?

Because Republican-endorsed = Anti-Democrat. Anti-Democrats include Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, Moderates, and those that vote Democrat on non-school related issues.

Well, the school board is supposed to be nonpartisan. There are no Rs or Ds next to their name on the ballot.

Why do the Republican endorsed candidates not tell us they’re Republican? Are they ashamed?
