I’m a lawyer. Having not read the number of signatures required in the article I read about the recall this morning, I was curious as to if they had additional signatures over the required number. I dont think I “disparaged the constituents who organized the recall.”
And Omeish is in a different league than Cohen and Tholen. Far more people are willing to say that she is out of line and negligent. I personally dont subscribe to Cohen or Tholen’s politics, but I don’t think their actions fall into recall territory. I absolutely think that Omeish’s actions do.

I am not disparaging anyone either. If the Omeish petition is the same, I see no chance for that one either. This is an easy toss for any judge. I agree there are significant reasons for an Omeish recall that could have merit, but if this is what the Court receives as the rationale for those who signed...a big miss.

I'm not so sure about that. Omeish is controversial based on her remarks, but it's not like her personal views on the Israel/Palestinian issue really affect the day-to-dayoperations of FCPS. On the other hand, the decision to keep schools closed for an extended period contrary to advice from medical experts had a major impact on FCPS and FCPS families. Maybe most judges will say that decision was squarely within the discretion of the SB members, but if they get a circuit court judge (and there are about 15 of them) who is sympathetic to the petitioners it could go the other way.

Snobby Tholen needs to go.

She's got a good deal less ego than most of the rest of the board, actually.

Certainly less ego than Sujatha Hampton, one of the names being considered behind the scenes to replace her.

Dranesville would flip R before it would elect Sujatha.

I’m an R and I would actually vote for her. Why? She actually cares about education. She done a lot to advocate for evidence-based reading instruction.

I do hate that she seemed to ignore/minimize the detrimental effects of school closure on black/brown kids. She sided with the teachers and that was huge mistake.

That's really the only positive (to most Dranesville voters) she could point to - and there are plenty of negatives. At the end of the day, it would be like Melanie Meren on steroids in terms of annoying faux wokeness.

If she can get FCPS to use evidence-based programs for reading and math and implement them with fidelity, I don’t care what her politics are.
