“It’s safe to say that the scandal cost taxpayers at least $2.3 million and perhaps more. That’s why so many MoCo residents are appalled at the hiring of McKnight to a newly created position by the University of Maryland, which like MCPS is a taxpayer-funded institution. McKnight’s tenure generated millions of dollars in losses for taxpayers – including a payout of $1.3 million to her – so why should they be paying her even more?
The whole episode was not the finest moment for good government in Montgomery County and Maryland.”
DEI hires cost MoCo millions.
If Beidleman wasn't a black man they would have not given him multiple undeserved promotions and kept a blind eye to his well known and documented behavioral problems. When you prioritize color of someone's skin instead of their actual qualifications this is what happens. MoCo was desperate to highlight a black man as an administrator at a major high school and McKnight swept his illegal actions under the rug.
