ooooh I would like to know this too. Has she been asked about her voting record????
Did she vote for Dems in the last School Board races???
Well APE endorsed Kadera….
That not the question. Has Miranda said whether she voted for Youngkin? Many in APE did.
APE publicly congratulated him at a time when she led it.
So... Miranda who did you vote for? The MAGA Republican RWNJ governor?

We generally do not allow anonymous criticism of non-public figures by name unless the poster also identifies themselves. The document in question mentions several non-public figures and is being circulated by someone using the pseudonym "Deep Throat". If Mr. or Ms. Throat would like to identify themselves, posters will be free to link to the document. But, short of that, I will remove any such links.
I'd encourage Mr. or Ms. Throat to identify themselves too but I think it's relevant, and I wouldn't characterize the board members of an org that is one candidate's brainchild (Miranda is literally a founder) as "non-public figures," especially when one of them is her campaign manager and they're all public tweets and quotes from APE's website. It raises some very valid character issues. I for one found it shocking. I mean I knew there were some strange bedfellows with Miranda, but it seems like her whole universe is Rs with really out-of-the-mainstream ideas.
I'd suggest a review of the matter since I feel it's more than fair game but I guess all I'll say is people can look for themselves if interested on Twitter @/protectarled but not linking anything without your say so, message received.

She door knocked for Bethany and other Dems last election.

Also APE/Miranda camp: Why aren't you people posting under your real name?
The Miranda camp is posting all over Facebook under their names. You’ve probably seen them.
Those aren't the ones I'm worried about being silenced. Someone is threatening to attack/bully/doxx those who oppose Miranda. Aaaand at the same time wondering out loud why those who criticize her are doing it anonymously. Gee, I might have some idea why.

And now here come the unfounded attacks on Smart Restart. I was part of Smart Restart. SR is not really active anymore. It was a group of teachers and parents that advocated for safety measures during the pandemic, like hepa filters and lunch outside. We thought these things were common sense measures to get schools open, keep schools open, and keep teachers and kids healthy. We didn't realize they would be controversial. Most parents saw the logic and supported them. We thought the parents in APE might join with us, to get schools open. But our advocacy only infuriated APE and they attacked SR members mercilessly. I guess we were really naive because we didn't see that coming. At least I was naive back then. It was my first rodeo, so they say in APS advocacy. The attacks on teachers and parents were really vicious and ugly -- doxxing, online bullying, trying to hurt people's professions. They even contacted teacher's principals based on innocuous comments teachers online. I mean, who does that to teachers?!?
I have absolutely no idea who this Deep Throat person is. I'm just as curious as anyone else but I sure know it has nothing to do with Smart Restart. I assume the poster who is smearing SR is the same person or group who did all of this to parents and teachers in SR two years ago. It's truly ugly and I wish they would stop, but they can't or won't.
This isn't exactly correct. SR actually would not let people be members of both APE and SR. So I don't think it's fair to say they wanted to work together.
But this was a mad, mad time, and it would be nice if people could stop the crazy and move on.

You know who publicly trashed SR on Twitter? MT's spouse.
Are you just responding to yourself over and over? Are the crazies that post here even on the APE page or get their newsletter? It’s seriously the most normal arlington Facebook group out there. They actually put the work in to make APS better. Ive never seen any hint of the accusations made on this thread. I encourage everyone to check it out for themselves. And I don’t really care what posters here claim they or their supporters did 3 years ago. Not every crazy person during the pandemic was APE. In fact they probably weren’t and they can’t control every parent that was upset about their kids suffering at home. I say this as an APS employee - most of us have moved on and agree with APE more than the school board. I hope Miranda wins. She deserves it and will be a champion for teachers and students. Frankly don’t care less if she’s married to someone who has criticized democrats. Get real, folks. She’s representing planned parenthood in an abortion rights case and is a democratic precinct captain. Ya’ll have lost your minds.
There are multiple people posting. I'm responding to someone else.
The hostile/crazy people posting right now (and during the pandemic) are/were APE.
She represents PP while her husband votes away women's rights. Nice.
Your making a baseless claim. Nice. Just looked up his campaign donations. Big Obama contribution. But sure he’s a trumper.
