I agree. It’s a ludicrous rebranding made even more clear by the fact they had to issue a press release stating they’re nonpartisan.

+100
This SB is very much endorsed by Democrats.

A clarification in response to false accusations does not make the accusations true. But you know that.

Although it would be more accurate to call the group bi-partisan than non-partisan since it does exist to advocate.

Why do you believe you can definitely assert that?

The most partisan are those who categorically try to shut down #OpenFCPS and stereotype its supporters.

Hopefully him and Melanie M are next. But I understand the logic in going after the ones that require the fewest signatures first.

What’s wrong with Melanie? I like her.

I think people are largely mad about her supporting closing and keeping schools closed while setting up a nice pod for her own, knowing all the equity concerns.

She's a little bit like Pat Hynes 2.0 but hard to see her getting recalled between all the liberals in Reston and the Madison folks always getting everything they ask for.

Frisch seems more vulnerable to me - Providence isn't as liberal as Hunter Mill, he screwed both Shrevewood and the McLean families in his district, and he's more blatantly political than anyone else on the School Board besides Omeish.

And his educational credentials are nil (he doesn't have a college degree), unless you think having a partner who is an FCPS employee counts.

What unions?

The ones for which the current School Board tries to set aside speaking slots.

Virginia teachers don’t have unions

The teacher's associations identify themselves as unions and the hair splitting is getting old.

Grow up.

Y’all first. Buncha whiny toddlers soiling their diapers because they didn’t get their way. Buck up and vote against them next time- or heck run yourselves! But that would require more than passive action and y’all know YOU couldn’t take the heat once you fail to live up to your neighbors’ lofty expectations.

Organizing and conducting a recall action, as expressly authorized by state law, takes time and effort. It’s anything but a passive exercise. You are the one who sits in your basement whining about people trying to make a positive change - in response to an incompetent School Board that has driven thousands of families out of FCPS entirely.

Your candidate(s) lost their elections. You don’t like the current office holders? Great, vote against them next time.

“I don’t like them so I want them recalled” is some medical-grade entitlement BS, legal or not.

Recalls are specifically authorized under state law. Take it up with the state legislature if you think they erred. Otherwise STFU.

Shit, why bother having elections at all then?

Your logic is impeccably bad.

The legislature saw fit to establish additional vehicles to hold elected officials accountable beyond periodic elections. I guess that bothers people who have no problem with out-of-touch school board members who act like they answer to no one but other insiders.

You’re basically setting the precedent that all elections are invalid and that terms of office have no meaning. But if that’s what it takes to get to sleep at night, then go off King, I guess.

There are recalls of elected officials attempted every year. Ballotpedia keeps track. So far it hasn’t destroyed the republic.

I’m not sure if you recall the storming of the capitol on 1/6/21, but the republic isn’t doing great. Keep muddying the waters and stoking those flames though.

Why are you so committed to defending these dingbats? I’m a Democrat but it’s ok to admit that the SB members are, by and large, in over their heads and should be replaced. Also if we elected the SB on a rolling/rotating basis, instead of electing the whole board at once every 4 years, we could mitigate some of these problems caused by inexperienced and ineffectual members.

Then replace them at the next election! That’s why we have elections and offices with set terms.

Apparently though the Open parents want to have sole discretion over who serves on the board and for how long.

That is why we have the recall processed established in Virginia law.

Huh? Where do you get that information? The #openFCPS parents want to encourage the county to elect non-partisan officials who will work for the education of kids. Outside of Fairfax GOP and FCDC, who doesn't want that? I'll wait while you think.

What nonsense you keep spouting.

I'd put the odds that you made similar arguments about waiting for the next election when Trump was impeached at roughly 0.0001%.
