No u!

Seriously, do you even vote in your local school board elections? I do. If so, what criteria do you use? I vote according to the educational platform they propose.

None of that has anything to do with merit of qualifications that are hypothetically being raised as criteria for evaluating a school board member's performance or competency.

It's not demanding answers, it's pointing out the typical lemmy/reddit hypocracy of sitting on a illusory high horse, getting outraged, and refusing to actually deal with the problem on your local level where you do have the ability to make a difference.

or if you want to be really extreme, you could move to this district in TN and run for school board yourself.

I dont think you can follow up with "seriously" after that.

You have already diminished the seriousness and effectiveness of this conversation to practically none, so this then becomes a conversation for fun... Which I dont find you to be.

You do nothing but try to find things to get offended about.

Says the person that hunted down one of my other comments after I didnt agree with their rude take.
