This whole scandal was just a vendetta. Beidleman had to go, but this fuss over a few anonymous complaints seems unprecedented. |
First of all, she was not the only person that complained about his toxic leadership. Second, a principal should absolutely be fired for having sex with their subordinates whether or not the affair included stalking and retaliation like it did in this case. |
Yes, there were an additional 30 anonymous complaints. |
They're anonymous to you; they're not anonymous to the journalists and the inspectors. |
This confirms for me that the troll is a McKnight supporter not a Beidleman supporter. |
Yes, there too focused on actual facts instead of the hype and gossip. |
Felder did not have to keep them. This is a bad sign. |
It seems pretty clear that Handy's on the commission simply because she's the president of MCAAP. If MCAAP wants someone else to represent them as their president, that's up to them, not MCPS. |
McKnight set up the fake committee and defined the members as "experts." Nothing about the president of anything makes them an expert on sexual harassment claims. |
I'm not defending McKnight. Just pointing out that the union presidents were obviously added to the committee because of their roles, not because they had specific expertise. |
Of the two, the Handy placement on the committee is defensible for the reason you stated. MCPS, if it was wise, could've insisted on one of Handy's deputies serving on the committee rather than her for the optics. But that would require MCPS to be intelligent about that sort of thing, which they absolutely aren't. |
I’m just surprised the QO principal isn’t on the committee! |
Your obsession with the QO principal is weird. You can't take them down with you if they didn't make the same mistakes. |
Was it someone’s career when Beidleman and McKnight were let go? MCPS covers for who they feel like covering for. |
You can’t stalk someone that sends you nude pics, calls you babe and hangs out with you after work. Subordinates should be fired as well that engage in sexual acts with their bosses. These are not children. I bet that this teacher was afraid of getting found out by the higher ups and decided to flip the script. That’s when Beidleman got scared and in her mind she called it harassment. The social studies teacher is the main culprit. Everything else are anonymous complaints and were either dealt with or just plain dumb. |
