No I think it is widely accepted that R. White will do whatever WTU wants. You aren't an outlier in that belief.
DCPS Parent here.
I am voting for White because he listens to parents. He had a whole hearing where parents and teachers testified about bad maintenance in their schools and he worked on fixing that.
I am not reflexively pro-union, but what the WTU and teachers want at my school often lines up with what parents want. I’ll support the union in this. They are helping my kids.
White does not care about parents. He will be a stooge for WTU. Bowser was bad on schools, but White would be far worse.
Sorry if you can’t think beyond the anti WTU rhetoric. Covid shutdowns were complex. You can keep screaming about the bogeyman but White has my vote
Not really. Doctors said over and over and over that children belonged in schools. In most of the United States kids were in school, in person, for most if not all of last year.
Here in D.C., we decided that the uninformed fears of the teacher union were more important than the best advice of the medical community. We did the stupid thing. We were the ones who were wrong.
And yet covid is still a large issue in the United States. People are still dying. Maybe in your little white bubble they are not dying or getting ill but that is not the reality of all.

If you care about schools, white is an excellent candidate. And stop blaming anyone but Trump, who did this to our children, intentionally.
this is delusional.
It truly is delusional, I agree. How exactly did Trump close schools? No, Trumps desire was for schools to open. I hate the orange one but it’s absurd to say this was all Trumps doing.
Trump is the reason schools were closed last year.
He said he wanted less testing!!! He got 500k Americans killed unnecessarily! He and Kushner said cities should “suffer!” They talked about gaining political advantage by screwing cities.
If you don’t think it was Trump’s fault you have been deceived by our corporate media (CNN: airing liars for profit) and rightwing media.
You sound completely nuts. Do you even live here? The *only* reason schools were closed for so long here was because of the teachers union. The mayor wanted schools open, most parents wanted schools open and teachers refused to do their jobs.
