We support:

• Excellence, not “equity”.  The current FCPS Board supports “equal outcomes” instead of “equal opportunity”.
• Open schools for in-person education, 5 days a week
• Merit-based admission standards for Governor’s Schools (TJ High School) and academic programs
• High academic standards, such as advanced math & science, so students can compete in a global economy
• Focus on academics not political indoctrination
