This thread should just be closed. JLG has won and if you hate her too bad.
If you hate teachers too bad.

If you hate that teachers have a union to protect us from some of you crazy parents and yes sometimes LYING students, too bad.

GDS’ investment in McDuffie didn’t pay off.

I think we have a pretty clear idea of what she's going to do. That's why people are worried. She has a lot of really bad ideas...


The only hope is that she changes literally all of her ideas (on housing, crime, education...). She does have some good people on her team.


Wut? Her staff is even crazier than she is.


I hope you’re packing, maybe Florida would suit you.


Her political director wants to defund the police, said the guy who shot the head of UnitedHealthcare should be pardoned and is an acolyte of Green Party nutjob Jill Stein.

Honeslty, this feels like the launch of a spinoff of Veep.


I hear Florida has nice weather.

She’ll come in a raging leftist and leave a “centrist” mugger by reality. I’d still prefer GDS McDuffie.

I’m a DCPS parent but I think it’d be a good time for the charter sector to figure out what it wants to ask her for. Assurances? Something new?


Does she have kids in school? If not, it's quite likely she has a general sense that the charter schools are elitist and bad. She may have the idealized sense that everyone should "just go to the local school" and magically make it great. This may not be explicit, just vibes. Therefore, step one might be to make the strong case for how charters serve kids here and do not only serve the elite kids (obvious, but it's more a matter of changing the image of the charter schools).


The ironic thing is that the charter system is substantially blacker and poorer than DCPS. The only place in this city where DCPS is very popular is Ward 3.


Who TF cares? Definitely not anyone white in wards 2,3 who had higher Duff votes. I’m so glad she’s likely going to win. We will still have charters and I’ll come back to this thread and laugh at all the gutter trolls who’ve been pipping up disparaging people for voting for the correct choice -out of these mediocre and bad candidates.
