No. Frisch actually talks and knows about academics and local issues instead of right-wing culture war issues.

Not specific so your comment isn’t persuasive at all, Vanessa.


Who? I just watched it and she was hung up on Covid, claimed there is porn in libraries, and more. At first I thought it was clever to do a play on the useless resolutions that the board wastes time on but then she went down some of those extremist talking points that don’t resonate with me. Why can’t we have any reasonable people run? I’m tired of left and right wing ideology.

I agree. Just reasonable people who will focus on academics.

Isn’t he the guy running against Frisch?

There’s no bigger moron on the School Board, and no bigger stooge among the current candidates, than Karl Frisch.

He spent four years ignoring constituents, wasting money, and trying unsuccessfully to get elected to state office before now deciding to run for re-election and start blitzing people with e-mail updates.

If someone decided to bait Sabio into an argument about 2A, so what? No one could possibly be worse for Providence than Frisch.


I've had several conversations with Karl Frisch and he is caring and knowledgeable about literacy standards and other academics. Based on his handout and his website, this other guy just doesn't know what he's talking about. I'd prefer we not elect another Elizabeth Schultz


You've got to be kidding. No he is not knowledgeable, he didn't go to college, he has no kids, and the only jobs he's had are in policy advocacy. He knows how to advocate for his cause. That's about it.

I don’t think he is. I think he’s not qualified and has a special interest but he’s not trying to allow unfettered guns that kill Americans every day.

Frisch is an extremist as well. Neither of these people deserve to have even one vote.

Is Karl Frisch benefitting of this initiative in any way?
https://bluevirginia.us/2019/01/karl-frisch-a-green-new-deal-for-fairfax-county-public-schools

And, why is it that someone who identifies as a Democrat is in our School Board pushing this “green agenda” in our schools when we can’t even pay our teachers competitive wages?

Lastly, does he in any way have anything to do with the overcrowding at McLean HS?

It’s gaslighting of the highest order to attack Sabio based on political views that aren’t especially relevant to the responsibilities of a School Board member, but gloss over the fact that Frisch is responsible for wasting $60M of taxpayer money on an unnecessary new ES in Dunn Loring that next to no one actually wants - all to ensure that FCPS wouldn’t build a school at a different site that Frisch and his cronies wanted to preserve as a dog park.

It would have been fine to oppose building at Blake Lane. But Frisch wanted to impress his friends by putting the final nail in the coffin by taking money that had already been earmarked for a school in Fairfax/Oakton and reallocating it to Dunn Loring instead.

It’s a giant boondoggle. It means that if a new school is needed in Fairfax/Oakton at any point they’ll have to wait many decades. It means that boundaries for multiple ES in the Marshall pyramid that aren’t even overcrowded will have to be adjusted to backfill Dunn Loring. It means that $60M that could have funded an addition to other schools attended by students in Frisch’s district won’t ever be available for that purpose. He could have held a giant bonfire and just burned $60M and it would have been less disruptive.

The guy is a total jerk, and anyone who gives him another term just because they think his opponent isn’t supportive enough of gun control advocates like MDA is missing the plot. Vote him back into office and you will absolutely deserve the mess he’s already creating for you.

Nope. Just unfettered use of porn in schools and allowing kids to transgender without parent knowledge.

And, prefers dogs have a place to play rather than kids a place to learn.

Prefers to keep schools closed because he is afraid his partner/husband? might get sick.

Not insane at all.

Neither are any of the other School Board candidates. He is, however, trying to allow unfettered drugs into the bodies of children who identify as suffering from gender dysphoria, as a part of gender-affirming care for some.

So yes it’s fair to be concerned he’s a politician eyeing using his position on the board to seek higher office, especially given his lack of expertise and demonstrated preference for focusing on national political topics in order to raise funds for his senate race rather than the serious local challenges our schools are facing.


+1. I am not a fan of Cohen and Pekarsky also using school board as a springboard to hgher office. It’s not supposed to be a political position or a partisan one. I wish we could go back to an appointed board.

But Sabio is an insane extremist. Poor Providence District with your truly awful choices.

Sabio says protecting parents' rights is a priority. He has also been endorsed by Moms for America. Their info here; https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/moms-for-america/
Like I said both options suck.
