Stephanie Lundquist-Arora and Harry Jackson, whose reaction to the student drew strong disapproval from parents online, both exited the race this week
that she was withdrawing because her laughter at the student had drawn too much harassment, which threatened her ability to perform “my most important job — being a mother.”
“Being the target of constant political and personal attacks comes at too high of a price,” she wrote in the post. “It significantly distracted me from my family — my raison d’etre.”The footage capturing the candidates’ laughter appears in an episode of “Shadow Board,” a live-streamed YouTube show of four adults — including Jackson and Lundquist-Arora — who react to the Fairfax school board’s live meetings. The video shows Jackson and Lundquist-Arora laughing as the student, a D.C.
“Did that just happen?” Jackson asks, adding later, “I was still processing what we just experienced.” Lundquist-Arora and Jackson previously told The Washington Post in statements that they were sorry for laughing at the student. Lundquist-Arora said “I was mistaken and my laughter was inappropriate,” noting that she emailed the singer’s mother to apologize.
