My wife personally knows 2 of the candidates that lost. They are not lib's, and would fit in fine on this forum. They also are not "pro union" and any of that other smacktard stuff. They just want to get the board out because they're assholes. IMHO, which means nothing, politics should not be a part of the school board discussion. IE, coming out and openly supporting a presidential candidate. Long story short, DC school board has a bunch of assholes on it, if you don't believe me, go to a meeting and see how the board treats the teachers.
