You may not agree, but they have a point.

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.

Shears might be better if the leadership on the boe was better but she has failed and needs to go.

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.

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!

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.

And, Evan’s has done nothing but make a mess of things.

Well, she will once she's elected.

That's even worse.

She had to deal with Smith, who happily let MCPS go to he|| because he was more concerned about his sick grandson than reopening schools.

No one who starts their opinion piece with, "One of the leading concepts promoted by the woke left...." is coming from a place of good faith. This is a cynical attempt to "turn the tables" on folks for running for local office.

"Opportunity hoarding" does not mean "hand all opportunities to BIPOC people regardless of qualifications or ideology."

It's very clear that the author does not understand the words "opportunity hoarding" nor have they given any thought to making a coherent argument. What a waste of time.

Yeah, as the saying goes - you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the "Clean Slate Moco" person/people. Or anyone else from the on-line MoCo right wing still shouting into an empty room on Twitter.

You cannot ignore the optics and reality that if all three women win their seats, that the board will be much whiter and devoid Black or brown representation. That is a fact.

And I’m interested in your argument for why that doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be a cause for concern for people who care about diverse representation on the BOE.

No, there are still five other board members, all of whom are POC.

There was no safe way to have inperson schools during the pandemic. And, he should be concerned about his sick grandson.

I don't care about race. I care about competance and improving MCPS for all our kids. The current board has failed ALL our kids. You want to reelect people who made a huge mess of things, don't take responsibility and continue the spending purge where they spend money on their pet projects vs. what is really needed.
