Maybe shutting down for a global pandemic wasn’t worth it for you but there are a lot of us who do not feel it was wrong.

Your face is showing under your white hood

No, you kook. We are all tired of the nonsense. And the deflection. My child doesn't know how to capitalize a sentence. How to write an essay or even a proper paragraph. If you want poc to excel (as they should) focus on the meaningful things to raise everyone up. Not drag everyone down.
And we all are tired of the deflection to "duh, you're a racist!" When people try to point out the real issues.

- not your pp.

Besides being racist, you must be a bad parent.

Pretty much everyone in this county is a Democrat and, beyond that, a liberal. I really couldn't understand the backlash that brought about the Trump administration and the hatred of liberals. But I really am starting to get it because of posters like this. I clearly said poc should be thriving but the boe is focused on the wrong agenda. .. and you call me a racist? It's so far beyond absurd that I really fear for what happens next in this country.
I've always voted Democrat no matter what but I take a step back and a look around and I just have to scratch my head. Besides things getting mostly worse, the vitriol and attacks and accusations against other democrats is really just sad.
The poster who mentioned youngkin is spot on. No one thought it would happen in Virginia. No one thinks it can happen here.

Who cares what your political leanings are? The content of your commentary was racist.

I think their point is that racism impacts certain children's education.

I don't agree with the audit, though. I think, much like their other initiatives, the only outcome will be to dumb down education more so that certain groups don't feel as bad underperforming and/or MCPS can pat themselves on the back for less suspensions and more "graduates" of URM, even as the violence in our schools escalates and more and more kids are graduating with a 5th grade level education.

Completely agree.

We're not out of the woods yet of a, oh, I don't know, let's call it a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, the WORST academic rep MCPS has had in, oh, 20 YEARS, and the focus is NOT in improving schools but to go on a WITCH HUNT so she can retaliate against anyone who opposes her by labeling them a racist? What a f'kng narcissist.

And all of this was done while she's been a temp. If it's this bad now, what is the board shooting for scorched earth?

You are crazy as H***!

Based on job requirements, almost certainly. But a bunch have a lot more training than necessary.

+1 Discrimination is real in MCPS. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual preference, and disability all thrive in MCPS. Dr. McKnight’s narrow focus with the audit ignores all the other ways MCPS discriminates and retaliates against teachers, students, and parents who complain.

But you have to start somewhere. This doesn't mean there won't be an audit on those other issues as well in the future.

That presents it as a false choice. They could have done an audit that also takes into account gender and sexual identity. But they didn’t. They chose race and only race. That was their start. That was their priority.

The number of open OCR complaints across all protected classes is in itself concerning. The number of claims of retaliation shows the culture to bully and and harass people who speak up. The cancer starts with Dr. McKnight. She gives Central Office free reign to discriminate and retaliate. God help us if she is made Superintendent.

That person is not racist. And PP presents a true point. Racial equity isn't supposed to be about tearing everyone down. It's supposed to be lifting people up. The response to the fact that more AA kids lack health insurance than white kids, for example, is not to take health insurance away from the same proportion of white kids.

Agreed. Don't fall for this propaganda. They're trying to have people mentally associate virtual learning with shutting down schools. This person repeats this theme over and over gain on threads. Pure poppycock.

Yes, do you start somewhere - start with the Complaints from the Public! Idiot.

I know! It's clear racism is alive and well in MoCo just reading this board. Didn't need to pay consultants to find that out.

As a person who has tried the BS Complaint From the Public Process, it’s a process that goes no where. I once thought, by documenting Civil Rights violations within MCPS then perhaps someone would see the problem and fix it. Nope - not the principal and every appeal step up to the superintendent and the Board itself. There’s a culture of circling the wagon, deny an issue is a problem, then launch a very organized plan to retaliate for the complaint.

Only idiots file a Complaint From the Public with MCPS. For Discrimination and Retaliation you file with the US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights. They have an intake form online or you email them your complaint with the required parts. Simple, easy, doesn’t take an attorney, and it’s an outside agency that will provide an unbiased investigation. You just have to file within 180 days of the discrimination and/or retaliation (another reason to not waste valuable time with the lengthy Complaint From the Public process).

Many parents and teachers have figured out the need to file complaints outside of MCPS as indicated by data on OCRs website. Many of the current investigations were filed under Dr. McKnight’s interim superintendent position. Currently, there are 10 open investigations for retaliation and complaints in every protected class category.

Discrimination is discrimination. MCPS has a discrimination and retaliation problem that the audit won’t solve. The MCPS corporate culture that refuses to fix problems is where MCPS should start.

Please

It’s clear that som PPs can’t seem to grasp that racial discrimination is no different than discrimination on the basis of gender, age, and disability. In Montgomery County, it’s also no different than discrimination against sexual orientation.

To highlight one, as if tackling racial discrimination will end discrimination in MCPS, is idiotic. A survey wastes resources and the data will be skewed to the preconceived outcome Dr. McKnight highlighted in her letter. It’s a political move, not a plan to fix anything in MCPS. Seeing these flaws doesn’t make me a racist.
