Time to take off the tinfoil. Yikes. Got any facts to back up all that?

MCEA has been out to get McKnight since reopening. That's what the initial vote of no confidence was about. But reopening was too popular, so they needed to wait to pin a scandal on her to get their revenge. And NAACP saw right through it.

Really? I’m a teacher and don’t agree with any of that. Most of my colleagues felt she was up to the job. Please don’t speak for all of us.

You don't remember MCEA's vote of no confidence in January 2022?

Hmmm. But it wasn’t about reopening. Clearly, they were right and tired of being abused and not being heard. You do remember the Washington Post article in Fall of 2023, right?

The January 2022 resolution was all about Covid, not anything related to Beidleman.

Critical thinking isn’t your strong suit is it. Abuse was ongoing for years and was being ignored under her. It was the first time teachers seemed to have a way to speak out collectively. The principal union also said no to her.


I saw someone call teachers dumb in another post. No. It’s definitely not the teachers in that category. This area seems to be filled with a lot of highly entitled people with who think they have either money or influence that allows them to throw out their wildly inappropriate opinions as “facts”

So when the 2022 resolution wrote "covid," you're saying that was code for something else? Weird

I think there are two different things being talked about. Her becoming the official super vs the Covid response. I think I remember mcps was really awful about reopening and was very unprepared as far as ventilation and supplies. Ordered things late - didn’t have items. Def not the fault of the teachers.

They got new leadership. The old ones were good, the new ones are a problem.

I'm interested that Byron Johns, the NAACP MC Chapter Education Chair, has not been visible recently as the NAACP MC Chapter has protested McKnight's dismissal. Anybody know the story with that?

Agreed. I liked her. No one I worked with had issues with her direct leadership. We understood her ouster was political.

The point is that teachers have been out to get McKnight for over two years.

So, the votes of no confidence in 2024 and 2024 were what? Tough love?

No, I've dealt with him and he was extremely helpful. It is really odd who also showed up to testify against the MVA when they were original supports of it and there is a high percentage of minorities.

It looks like he moved on. It was really weird they had some random woman at the MVA BOE meeting instead of him. I wonder if he didn't agree with the direction they were taking and move on but it says here he is still involved.

Byron is still very much active with the NAACP Parents’ Council. He has not moved on.

He hasn't spoken at a BOE meeting in a year.

Then their behavior at the recent boe meeting is even more shocking.
