I heard someone use that phrase. What exactly is that?

"Gatehouse" is the pop term for the main FCPS offices which are located on Gatehouse Road in Merrifield -- kind of across Gallows Road from Sweetwater Tavern.

It sounds so evil. They should rename the road after a local, deceased dignitary or something inspiring.

It is the FCPS retirement village for burnt out teachers and administrators with criminal records. In a unique twist, the FCPS provides promotions and nothing to do for these deadbeats so they spend their days reading the Fairfax Underground and searching for threads such as this one.

Actually this poster is correct. If you go to numerous floors of Gatehouse, that is where FCPS hides failed principals. These idiots either have been alleged to have done some kind of misconduct, or simply couldn't manage a burger shack. Instead of getting fired like the real world, they get promoted, a desk to hide in, and if that's not enough even more money than they made as an administrator.

These bastards need to go. Another thing FCPS should do, is those whom are already past retirement age and working, see you later. There are cases where experience is helpful, but you have hundreds of employees topped out on big salaries, and its time to cut the umbilical cord. This would not only save residents money, but also bring money to younger teachers and professionals who really are busting their ass.

This principal group is a disgrace. Fire them. Or heck give them a little severance package and see you later. Same with retired employees working past retirement. They rarely accomplish anything, and are part of a spoils system that punishes younger teachers and employees.

You read posts like this one from one of our absolute dumbest resident assholes and you wonder how NoVa can actually be one of the most highly educated areas in the country.

"simply couldn't manage a burger shack" - True of so many who work at gatehouse, and of course the majority of the elected board members.

Rumor has it, those who can't manage to tie their shoes get appointed to creating the curriculum for students.

For example, the sex ed Curriculum Advisory Committee who can't get their head around what "biological sex" means, so they say it is fuzzy, ambiguous, nobody really knows what it is.

A quotes by George Orwell in his "Politics and the English Language" comes to mind.

"the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language"

Some decay of language is intentional, and forced upon us for political ends. Which seems like the only thing those who can't flip burgers or tie their shoes can do.

Remember to write your comments about the absurdity of the notion that "biological sex" is meaningless to

Write many times if needed, and don't forget to write the school board too.

"you are a knee-jerk antediluvian moron who has no understanding of science at all."

Good phrase, I'll include that to the board.

Funny how after 8 years of Obama, we went from being absolutely sure of what our sex is, to not knowing what sex is and which bathroom we ought to be using.

Trump will fix that.

Trump won't fix a thing. He needs his Fixer for that, and the Fixer is off looking at 30 years at this point. Trump himself of course is very limited. He can only watch Fox & Friends and chat with his pals to invent political boogeymen to be afraid of. As a President, "Be Best" does not apply -- he's much worse than merely horrible.

If all he does is undo all the damage from Obama, then he's fixed America. Unfortunately, Obama did everything in his power to create a chaos that is hard to undo.

Same sex marriage has got to come next. Another SCOTUS appointment and that'll get done the same as it was reversed in Bermuda.

The "Gatehouse" is a facility in Merrifield that houses the FCPS administrative offices. It is part of the Continuity Of Government plan that provides semi-secret facilities for the United States federal governmnet in the event of emergencies (such as nuclear bombing). The above-ground portion of "Gatehouse" is 265,000 square feet of office space, including a cafeteria, and was built as "special construction" in 2010. The COG activities are housed in the classified underground portion of the facility. At level U-4 is access to the railway tunnel system connecting to the Tysons facility (and thence beyond) and Bolling (JBAB). The lowest level is U-5 which contains the emergency medical facility. This is staffed at all times by select physicians and nurses who rotate in from the iNovA Health building across the street.

Internet conspiracy rumors claim that there is a much deeper level,"U-Z", far below the U-5 hospital. It supposedly houses a "stargate" travel portal linked to a cloaked alien space station orbiting Neptune, from which farther "gate" trips are possible. The Neptune station is the hub from which political contacts with the aliens are maintained.

The Gatehouse building site was chosen based on geomagnetic anomolies centered in the Merrifield area that are necessary for the stargate to operate properly. Between 4,000 and 400 years ago, native American (indians) used the site for rituals to communicate with "sky gods". A former CIA post was located about 7/8 mile northwest; it was known as "Tippy's".

Some Fairfax County Public Schools former Principals have been "promoted" and assigned to The Gatehouse. Most of them perform administrative work in the building, but a few have been recruited to work as ambassadors/test-subjects in the secret Neptune project. Most such personnel do not return from their alien mission after three or four years of travel.

The original "Gatehouse" was a toll gate and shack on the Leesburg Turnpike.
