If you want Hanover County to continue to have a great public education system, one that is as free from politics and political ideology as is humanly possible these days, vote NO on this misguided referendum.
Let s be real: The current appointed system is awash in politics. The Hanover County Republican Committee is leading the charge against the elected school board — an odd anti-vote posture for a political organization, but on brand with the voter suppression mode of the modern GOP. But its arguments to keep the current system don t hold up under scrutiny.
