Maybe they could stop bussing them all over the county for segregation like now. |
Bingo! In her fancy new diesel buses that identify as electric. |
this take is the most ridiculous and sounds like this person should be no where a board given their lack of accountability and due diligence. |
Can't help but feed the trolls. |
I thought that endorsements didn't matter. Also please point or cite to Diaz's racists and anti-semetic comments rather than making generalizations. |
Easy her Twitter is full of it . Libs of TikTok she supports right on her social media RFK Jr as well oh yes she’s fully anti vax glad you support the polio candidate. Her words are horrible her support of Stephen Miller for Gods sake . Mr racist The way she spoke to students at Gaithersburg hs and she chose to speak of them outside of school Her support of curriculum the Heritage Foundation designed and printed. She speaks at moms4 liberty events in support of them. That alone is disgraceful Those videos are online I won’t print her words because they are vile. Let’s say you want to discount her ultra RW endorsements which by the way prove my point. If she’s not racist why is Stephen Milker, Unified against racism in education lol {is racist as shit ie code for racist ) the heritage foundation and libs of TikTok endorsing her? she is still highly unqualified can clearly not work with others given her tenure at Gaithersburg and how she interacts with students and MCPS families online. And have you heard her speak at BOE forums vs her Republican forums yeah she’s a god dammed racist There are no mental gymnastics to show she is not . She thinks she hid it. She has not. And her supporters online all want the same White Christian Nationalist curriculum that’s racist . They think their code words of parental rights and fear mongering hide their racism they do not. |
It's funny that you'd think that, when Harris has a voting record on several boundary studies over the past few years, none of which had "students bussing all over in the name of diversity," nor did Harris (or any other member) ever even put forward an alternative plan which would have done so. Montoya has suggested that MCPS consider expanding the upcoming boundary studies to all 25 high schools in the county, rather than the current 19. |
For this PP ^^^ it will always be the fall of 2019. Which is kind of ironic, because Lynne Harris wasn't even elected until November 2020. |
These are their actual answers on the subject from a recent questionnaire. Lynne point blank prioritizes diversity over proximity and over stability. Rita says while all factors are important, she would maximize the ability for students to attend school in their community. Order the following priorities you believe should apply when considering school boundary changes (separate by commas for consistency): utilization, proximity, diversity, stability Lynne Harris: utilization, diversity, proximity, stability Boundary changes — over and under utilized schools cost money we really can’t afford to spend. Ensuring we are responsibly managing our infrastructure is essential. Diversity – the research is clear — students in any demographic you want to define do better in truly diverse schools– academically, socially, personally . That’s the way we make students ready for the world. Any discussion of boundaries must be accompanied by an intentional, thoughtful, comprehensive review of program availability, and a commitment to creating a strategic plan for programs so that EVERY student in the county has genuine access to every program Rita Montoya: All of these factors should be considered when considering school boundary changes. To the extent possible, I think we should maximize students’ ability to go to school in their community. I await the results of the currently scheduled boundary study. |
Are you saying there isn’t a big boundary study on the horizon that many many many constituents will care about that this board will be responsible for working on? |
Lynne has voted on multiple boundary studies, which reduced disparities in demographics among the schools, but also maximized the number of walkers and improved utilization levels. These are good and appropriate outcomes, and the fear-mongering about "bussing all over in the name of diversity" is ridiculous. They are making small changes, as they can, between adjacent schools. |
It’s not fear mongering. It’s simply stating that given how two people might approach this very challenging puzzle, I will take them at their word how they will consider priorities. One candidate matches my priorities better than the other candidate. Ymmv. |
She awaits the results? If elected she'll be on the board starting in December, and will be partially responsible for the results. |
You have no idea if the changes will be big or small or whether they will be adjacent schools. Nobody has this info yet. You are downplaying something that will potentially impact a lot of people. |
She doesn’t conduct the study. An outside firm conducts the study and analysis, then the board uses that info. |
