How a dad became ‘Enemy #1’ to teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia

In reading the article, it’s not the teachers who seem to have a problem with him, it’s the school board and the school administrators. Those are are VASTLY different groups.

I taught in Virginia for 10 years(working for VDSS, another group that gets smeared in this article), and have friends working in Loudoun county right now. They all pretty unanimously think the school board is pretty shitty.

Finally, the New York Post is a notoriously biased conservative tabloid, and Loudoun is one of the most conservative counties in the state. NYP is taking this man’s fight against the school board and it’s Republican policies and using it as a hit piece against teachers and teacher unions (which in Virginia are basically powerless).

I am not native english, but if I understand correctly : that woman (board member Debra Rose) made false accusations of aggression and child abuse against this dad because he was insisting for getting public data that she didn't want to give, and at the end there is no consequence on her ??

I understand that he had legal "victory" when the judge ordered the state to hand over the data and pay $35000, but I didn't see anything about that woman being punished for false accusations (I though that the author of false accusations would face consequences of the same magnitude as what would have been endured by the other party if the false accusations succeeded, in this case: he could have faced jail or have his children removed)

> He’s not a monster. To teachers, he’s something more threatening: a mathematician.

The best kind of political involvement is informed involvement. Mathematics is but a tool.

Without civic involvement from the public, state institutions decay into rent-seeking tyrannies.

The stakeholders (i.e. taxpayers and beneficiaries) are entitled to value for money spent into the ever-increasing hole that is government.

I applaud what Mr. Davison does. It should be shouted from the rooftops. I am from Romania - it doesn't even affect me personally, but it inspires me.
