In that scenario, not voting is in effect a vote for the MAGA candidate.


I think things are so broken at this point that it is worth the risk.


If I have to I'd vote for a republican depending on their character and values over an incumbent. I will not vote for any incumbets right now.


+1
I won't vote for someone who is hateful (sorry, Bethany) but I don't think the incumbents are any better, except for Montoya.


Hell no to one Republican endorsed Moms4liberty garbage.
Banning books in MCPS is not a good look. Racist, KKK = all Republicans at this point in time. Keep that crap off the BOE.

Last time we had Mandel and Diaz and Ricki Mui none of which were qualified to do anything. Especially being around children horrifyingly bad candidates. Oh and let us not forget Esther Wells she's a dozy...


I thought Moms4liberty was asking to opt their own kids out of specific lessons on specific books, not ban the books for all kids. Did I miss something or are you distorting their position?


That is all they wanted.


Stop lying no it is not moms a liberty is a terrorist organization its leaders are part of a sex scandal

And it wants the Heritage Foundation curriculum to be mainstream that is utterly horrific

They are book banners racists and stupid

They should be no where near a BOE

Diaz is a terrible person

Can you provide links to evidence that supports your charges?

Diaz for sure.

Diaz is running for the at large seat currently held by Silvestre.

No thanks. She left or was fired from Mcps for good reason. Has crazy ideas and homeschools her last child, through not sure what that entails given she always posting online.

Again, do you have evidence?

You don’t know if she left on her own initiative or was fired, but apparently you’re confident that if she was fired it was for good reason (which you don’t know). You reference her crazy ideas, but you don’t specify what they are.

While homeschooling is a charge that is at least definable and verifiable, it isn’t necessarily crazy, as many homeschoolers can be very well educated, and you neither know why nor how she is homeschooling. While I personally like my BOE members to be invested in the public schools, I can see how some may feel homeschooling is an acceptable or even desirable characteristic if a candidate responds to deficiencies in public school by providing a superior education to their children at home and wanting to similarly improve the education offered to other children who are limited to the public schools.

Frankly, if your unsupported allegations and those of the PP who made inflammatory but equally unsupported charges of terrorism and sex scandals by other people are the worst anyone can produce, I’m inclined to view her more favorably. I presume that with such vitriolic opposition that if there was
actually a problem you’d have evidence compiled and ready for distribution.

Hi Brenda, tell us the real story. There were a lot of reports of you bit showing up, refusing to mask and many other things. Rules and expectations didn’t apply to you. How are you homeschooling? Please share. Google. It’s all there. I suspect she quit before she was fired.

Thank you for FINALLY providing actual evidence.

As someone who believes in masking and vaccines, especially when faced with such a serious pathogen that we know so little about, I think it demonstrates extreme selfishness to deliberately put others at risk. While she apparently now claims she couldn’t follow mask regulations because of unspecified medical reasons, the quote from the article indicates it was more likely just petty posturing:
“I’ve only worn just a very thin scarf around my face. It was my little, like, ‘No, you’re not making me wear a mask,’ ”.
I haven’t seen the video, so it is always possible this was taken out of context, but it is hard to imagine any context that would justify this attitude.

Incidentally, I’m the same poster who had earlier requested evidence for the many allegations, and no, I’m not Brenda. I’m merely a voter who likes to base her decisions on actual facts rather than unsubstantiated anonymous accusations.

A simple search on here or Google would give you the information you need. Why don't you do some research? Our schools are very lax with rules and discipline. She claims she wants to bring that in but how can someone who doesn't follow rules themselves do that. She also lied saying she cannot mask due to health issues and refused to provide documentation. As someone with serious health issues, every doctor who is competent I've been to advises masking and will mask around me, and the main clinic I go to all staff mask and they require patients to mask as well as family members even still today. Very few health issues prevent you from masking and those health issues that prevent you from masking would mean it would be a bad idea to go into a HS unmasked and put yourself at risk. In all your multiple posts, you could just Google or even use AI and learn about her yourself. Also look at her Twitter/X account.

PP you responded to

???????

I completely agree with you that the masking is a problem, as I said in the post you are arguing with:
“I think it demonstrates extreme selfishness to deliberately put others at risk. While she apparently now claims she couldn’t follow mask regulations because of unspecified medical reasons, the quote from the article indicates it was more likely just petty posturing”

While her opposition to masking could support a PP’s charges of “crazy ideas”, I have yet to see any evidence that Brenda is a terrorist, that unnamed leaders of her organization were involved in an unspecified sex scandal and even if they were, how that disqualifies her if she wasn’t involved. (Bill Clinton was leader of the Democrats at one time, but I’m still voting Democrat tickets against MAGA - should I stop because of his involvement in a sex scandal?)

As to why I’m not “doing my own research”, I will research all the candidates before I vote, but that will usually involve researching their stated opinions on the issues via their website, candidate questionnaires, and candidate forums. I rely on firsthand sources and reliable journalistic sources, not anonymous, unsubstantiated gossip, which I would deliberately exclude.

If others think that accusations should be considered, it is incumbent on them to provide the evidence. Otherwise, they should expect their accusations to be dismissed as malicious rumors, that if they have any effect will be to generate sympathy for the accused. Anyone can make any accusation against anybody, but that doesn’t mean they should automatically be given credence. In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty, and publishing false claims is libel. As a matter of principle, I think anyone who defames another is obligated to provide evidence.

You can choose to blame voters for not researching every scrap of gossip that is circulated, but it isn’t likely to sway them to your side. It may generate support from those who were sympathetic to your position to begin with, but other than boosting your ego, what does that accomplish? Or, you can post responsibly and provide support for any claims you make. Instead of getting upset and blaming me, a voter, for not doing my research to convince myself how right you are (which could potentially cost a vote), why don’t you do the googling yourself to convince me and other voters that your claims are credible. Assuming the claims are true, providing evidence can only help your side, but refusing to support them and choosing to blame voters will only alienate voters. So the question you need to ask yourself is which you care more about, your ego or the election?

Many of us did our research with the last election. I really wanted to vote for her but her values and morals prevented me. She is a known person with Mom's of Liberty who endorce her. If you have the time to post long rants on here, you have the time to do your research through the various news groups, especially the prior election or even here, follow her on X/Twitter and see for yourself. Try to engage in talking to her. You aren't doing your research and being hostile to others. I don't care who you vote for. But, depending on who you vote for you could be doing even more harm to MCPS. Reality is they will just ignore her on the BOE.
