Graduation Speakers

She was asked to speak and probably told her story.

No he would not

He is one sided and that is not good
He loves to spew his one sided BS and claim he promotes both sides.
His support of Esther Wells tells you Jason is not “moderate” nor is his “news” .
It is extremely obvious Jason isn’t news he’s promoting propaganda. He cherry picks his so called news as well .

Which speakers are speaking at multiple schools? I don’t see it in the bethesda mag list

Jawando, Glass, and Tsironis are each doing two.

We do not need any politician to be a speaker. End of story.

The irony MCPS is sending to its graduates that no matter how successful they become, they will never be good enough to be asked back as a graduation speaker unless they become a local politician.

Everyone cherry picks news but he is pretty moderate. More than the liberal moco show guy who they have speaking IMO

Instead of having any politician speak (whenether it’s a Democrat or Republican), the schools should choose actual alumni of the high school, that way they can connect their experiences with their high school to recent graduates.

Several schools do have alumni speaking- I noticed Wootton, B-CC, and Churchill among others. I do agree that having an actual alumni as the speaker is better.

No, he isn't "moderate." Highlighting Esther Wells on his YouTube channel shows he's engaged in spreading misinformation and propaganda. The overwhelming focus on Montgomery Perspective in about 94% of his posts certainly lacks neutrality. Moreover, his vocal support for Brenda Diaz during the recent Board of Education meetings was unmistakable and raised concerns about his agenda.

Brooke Lierman went to Whitman (she’s their speaker this year).

LOL ok Jason. And no you would not be a good speaker and you are flattering yourself calling yourself a local news person.

True, or a current staff member of the school at least.

So smart wealthy people can't suffer from depression? Who is the tone deaf one?
