BOE - who are people voting for?

However, Diaz resigned from MCPS and complained to the board that wearing a mask violated her freedom of religion.

You don't need to convince me that Diaz is crazy. But it's pretty absurd to suggest that she has the same equities with MCPS teachers as Zimmerman.

So you're voting for someone you call "crazy"?

Diaz supports moms4 liberty and libsiftiktok both are extremely conservative horrible organizations that right there should be the reason one should not vote for her.

She also is endorsed by those groups. Including united against racism in Education code for racists.

What exactly besides chaos and hate will she bring to the BOE?

I would expect outreach to ramp back up in the coming weeks. There are only 6 candidates left in the race at this point:

At Large:
Lynne Harris (incumbent)
Rita Montoya

District 2:
Brenda Diaz
Natalie Zimmerman

District 4:
Shebra Evans (incumbent)
Laura Stewart

One of the frequent posters here complains about Silvestre having a conflict of interest because of Montgomery College.

Zimmerman has a *huge* conflict of interest, even acknowledging that she plans to represent teachers on the Board. It's too bad that Diaz is such a wacko, but I'll still be voting for her.

I’m sorry you are voting for a racist anti semite that brings nothing but hate as a qualification? What does that say about you?

She’s a book banning liar. She is endorsed by America Legal First Steven Millers group of horrible lawyers by the way Miller who pretends to be a lawyer failed the bar, oops I digress what policies does Diaz have besides Christian Nationalistm? Fully anti vax not just covid. ….

What exactly does she stand for because when asked her answers are gobblygook.

She’s moms4Liberty not good for any BOE

A teacher is not in a position of power like someone from central office or working as someone who oversees the partnership with Mc and mcps. However my concern would be how many days would they miss for boe duties . A teacher who knows student and teacher needs would be great.

But being only one person, she has no hope of meaningfully advancing any policies on that within MCPS.

This is far more of a direct conflict of interest than the situation with MC. Even if she resigns.

How, she has no influence in mcps. Mc job is a huge conflict.

As already explained, MD law requires her to resign her teaching job before becoming a BOE member.

Ok sure however who votes for hate who votes for stupidity who votes for someone who cannot control their anger?

Moms4 Liberty candidates do not belong on one BOE anywhere same with LibsofTikToc she literally supports a group that is tied to bomb threats at schools? You are ok with that risk more power to you.

If this was some sort of executive position where she had direct personal control, then the idea of giving her power would terrify me.

But given the current makeup of the Board, the idea of adding yet another member beholden to MCEA is an even bigger risk.

It really isn't. What is Diaz going to do that could get past the rest of the Board members?

The current board members are incompetent and ran MCPS into the ground in terms of safety, academics, and finances. So, No, I don't suppport her but did she choose these endorsements or were they just given? I do not want any current sitting board members on the board and they all need to go. They keep promising better and improvement and year after year things get worse and worse.

She gets one vote. The BOE president dictates how the members vote so she will toe the line like the rest of them.

They should force the BOE president to resign as that is a conflict of interest.
