Count me in. I still am a moderate Democrat but promoting people who can't do a job in a satisfactory way is against what I believe in. I believe raising all ships with the tide. These far left policies believe in dragging everyone down with the lowest anchor and hoping no one notices.

Protecting predators is a terrible behavior that signs across the political spectrum my friend

Yes.

But it’s also interesting and I want to know why he chose his victims.

I was wondering about that too. Maybe he wasn’t all bad but it seems a weird time to praise him.

Did I read here or was it in the article that all his victims were white women?

I had a hunch about the teacher who defended him. I googled her to see if my hunch was correct or not. Oh geez, my hunch was correct. This is such a bad look and will do so much damage to racial progress.

Give it a rest-now is not the time for your racist musings. The guy is the worst, that teacher is a dummy, mcps an absolutely failed institution. See? No need to speculate about race and postulate racial conspiracies there isn’t evidence of.

MCPS makes everything about race. For students, staff and stats.

Take it up with MCPS if you do not want to discuss ‘racist musings’.

Right. While he was at one of his previous schools there was a culture of bullying white kids with quips like "check your privilege!" Made by administrators to white students who were committing crimes like standing up during lunch.

They've created a culture of coving up for each other based on a race based fraternity and bullying white students and teachers. Not a word comes out of the schools that isn't attached to something about race and the budget spending follows.


They can now be accountable for what they've created.

I’m sorry to have to explain this to you but here goes: it sounds like you don’t think it’s okay for you or your kids to have racial malice attributed to you when there is no evidence that applies in a specific situation and (now stick with me here) it turns out it’s also not okay to do that to Black people either.

MCPS is stalling for time with the external/independent investigation. And McKnight should be out here demanding heads roll and at the forefront of digging into who did or didn't do their jobs.

But that's not her MO. It's to stall, calling for a lengthy investigation, wait for the heat to die down, and then when the external report inevitably shows that several leaders failed to uphold their responsibilities, to hand wave and say MCPS will try to do better going forward. It's pathetic and the MoCo Council Members need to hold MCPS's feet to the fire and demand some serious repercussions from this embarrassment.

Yeah, I don’t know how she can keep her job after this, but without any delay the focus should be on tending to the impacted staff. I keep thinking about the woman who had a panic attack and then took medical leave for depression and anxiety, and still was harassed while on medical leave. There are quite a few traumatized staff members who need and deserve practical and emotional support, including an acknowledgement from the county that they suffered and were wronged and that the county leaders messed up big time. They also are owed financial support for all costs incurred including therapy and lost wages plus extra for emotional damages. This man and the county are responsible for wrecking lives. If you’ve ever known someone who dealt with anything like this, then you know how horribly debilitating it is to be victimized in this way. When the county denied their claims, they victimized them yet again. Shocking and unacceptable in every single way.

No. You're imposing what you wish was the argument here. The argument was the school district has made everything about race and so this is about race.

Not based on the information as presented. The allegations have not been formally or officially investigated. News reports are not criminal or civil investigations. If it shows that there was consensual participation by any parties that would weaken any criminal allegations of sexual assault, cyberstalking or harassment.

McKnight will keep her job and nothing will change. Nothing.

Maybe the principal will lose his job, but other than that there will be no change. There will be some studies, articles in a whole lot of lip service, but ultimately it will be the same status quo.

McKnight is keeping her job.

Without change at BOE, you’re probably right. But this makes all of them look awful. Not sure what would tip the balance. Maybe county council will take action.

Is there a GoFundMe for the teachers' legal fees?

There needs to be a change at the Board of Education, and I don't mean a change in who is on it. I mean a change in the structural relationship between MCPS and the Board of Education. The Board of Education is supposed to lead MCPS, but right now, MCPS has 99.9% of the power. Does the Board of Education have ANYONE who works for them? In addition, school board member is a part-time position that pays $25,000 a year, unless you're the president, and then you get a whole $29,000 a year. Shouldn't the voters expect more of school board members and also pay them more?
