Here is another viewpoint on the race for BOE.
https://www.cleanslatemoco.com/stewart-harris-zimmerman-white-opportunity-hoarders/3282 You may not agree, but they have a point. |
They'll ignore anything for the union. |
The fact that Laura Stewart is running to unseat one of only two Black women on the board is indeed noteworthy and said. I'm no blind defender of Shebra, because there are lots of valid criticisms to make about her performance on the board, but if Laura was as progressive as she thinks she is, she would have backed a Black woman to run against Shebra. But instead, she feels entitled to the role. |
This is the main thing that matters here. Shebra is not deserving of a third term. |
She’s more deserving of Stewart. I really tried to want to vote for Stewart but I just can’t after seeing her at the candidate forums. She seems nice but very much overwhelmed and in over her head. |
And Laura isn't deserving of a first term. |
Disagree. Stewart's been advocating at the state and county level for years. She's very well-prepared for a seat at the board table. |
Key word here is advocate. There is no room for advocates on the Board of Education! |
But hasn't accomplished anything. And has often advocated for things that are bad for students. |
That's the dumbest thing I've read here in a long time. |
You want more people that talk but don't do anything? |
No. Which is why Shebra Evans needs to go. |
You don't seem to know much about Laura Stewart. She's never done anything beyond talk. |
Well, she will once she's elected. |
Shebra was an advocate before she got on the BOE. I like Shebra, she is smart, and over the past 8 years, she has learned a lot. However, she was a BIG supporter of McKnight. They are sorority sisters. I suspect that Shebra played a significant role in ensuring that McKnight got that $1.3 million. |
