So you're saying you think she deserves it? Fine. Go ahead and justify your gossiping all you want. She can still sue you. She can sue the principal as well if he was part of the gossip mill.


It’s not gossip when it’s true. Maybe this will show mcps subordinates that they too will be held accountable for acting unprofessional in the work place.


You're working overtime to justify your behavior. Guess what. Gossip is gossip. You're the kind of coworker I try to avoid. Not because I have anything to hide, but because you're just not a nice person.


Hold yourself accountable as an adult and knowing how to act appropriately in the workplace.


Seems like a troll who is obsessed with spreading unsubstantiated rumors because it serves their crusade against McKnight.


No worries. McKnight is already in a ton of substantiated trouble.


Only because of imaginary evidence and gossip


So all the kids imagined being called hoes?
Or is Beidleman an imaginary person?

I swear people love to spin stuff to fit their narrative. If you don’t like the man just leave it at that. If you’re mad he suspended your kid just leave it at that.

It's funny how so many people don't like this man and are angry he's still employed by MCPS (source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/08/11/joel-beidleman-montgomery-county-principal/ ):

- "MCPS treated Beidleman as a rising star. Despite six staff members’ reports to MCPS about his conduct in 2023, officials promoted him in June to run Paint Branch High School in Burtonsville, a position that oversees a larger staff than Farquhar’s and would have raised his salary by $32,000, to $191,000."
- “He is the most vindictive person I’ve ever met,” a Farquhar English teacher said. “Even teachers who left Farquhar are scared of him to this day,” said former Farquhar media assistant Cathy Stanton, who departed MCPS in 2021 because of what she called the school’s “toxic leadership.”
- "In July 2017, former Farquhar PTA president Chelsea Curtis said she hand-delivered a letter to the central office that carbon-copied the principal to request a change of schools for her younger children after Beidleman told her eighth-grade daughter: “Don’t be like [your friend]. She’s a whore.” MCPS granted the transfer."
- "During two Jan. 31, 2018, assemblies for seventh- and eighth-grade students and staff, Beidleman lamented that Farquhar girls were dressing and acting “like hos and thots” (both derogatory terms for promiscuous women), according to multiple witnesses."
- "When parents complained about the assembly, then-Director of School Support and Improvement Eric Minus, Beidleman’s boss, spoke with teachers. One told him about additional instances of workplace misconduct, the teacher said in an interview. But when another tried to do the same, Minus asked to confine the discussion to what Beidleman had said at the assemblies, she said. Several educators were aware that the two men were friends."
- "He berated, humiliated or yelled at staff frequently, according to more than two dozen educators. "
- "A Lakelands teacher said she left that school because of Beidleman, who on numerous occasions “screamed in my face.”
- "Teachers at Lakelands, Clemente and Farquhar said Beidleman often commented on women’s bodies and outfits. During two annual Farquhar staff presentations about professional attire, he showed a picture of a woman’s midsection in tight leggings and said, “Camel toe is not allowed,” several attendees said."
- "When a male science teacher told Beidleman his wife was pregnant, the principal replied that his wife would “change for the worse,” the teacher recounted in an email to Walker obtained by The Post."
- "A teacher told The Post that Beidleman said to her in front of a colleague, who confirmed the conversation in an interview: “You look like you peg your husband and that you do butt stuff.” When that teacher disagreed with Beidleman in discussions, she and a witness said the principal told her: “Maybe your husband needs lessons in bed so you can be calmed down.” The comments were memorialized in a list of aggressions toward staff compiled by Farquhar’s building union representative this year."
- "In April 2021, Beidleman invited an MCPS teacher who had worked with him previously to apply to be his assistant principal at Farquhar, she said....Beidleman told The Post the teacher’s candidacy was rejected “prior to any personal conversations.” But screenshots from the teacher’s phone show that he texted personal messages, including lewd ones, to her more than 400 times between the day he asked if she wanted the job and the date she was informed that she would not be considered for the role."

Yes, we know all this happened before McKnight was in charge. So glad she's cleaning up this mess.

I assume you are being sarcastic given that she promoted him in the same year he had six formal complaints against him.

How is Dr. McKnight cleaning up the mess? Her administration promoted Beidleman to Principal at Paint Branch. During McKnight’s tenure as Interim Superintendent and Superintendent, the allegations were reported but not addressed.

Dr. McKnight is part of the problem and should be held accountable.

Yes, we know all this happened before McKnight was in charge. So glad she's cleaning up this mess.


How is Dr. McKnight cleaning up the mess? Her administration promoted Beidleman to Principal at Paint Branch. During McKnight’s tenure as Interim Superintendent and Superintendent, the allegations were reported but not addressed.

Dr. McKnight is part of the problem and should be held accountable.


She wasn't Super when all the events listed above happened. You really can't have it both ways.


So this is like how Obama didn't start the war in Afghanistan therefore he is not responsible for what happened there under his watch?

So you're saying you think she deserves it? Fine. Go ahead and justify your gossiping all you want. She can still sue you. She can sue the principal as well if he was part of the gossip mill.


It’s not gossip when it’s true. Maybe this will show mcps subordinates that they too will be held accountable for acting unprofessional in the work place.


You're working overtime to justify your behavior. Guess what. Gossip is gossip. You're the kind of coworker I try to avoid. Not because I have anything to hide, but because you're just not a nice person.


Hold yourself accountable as an adult and knowing how to act appropriately in the workplace.


Seems like a troll who is obsessed with spreading unsubstantiated rumors because it serves their crusade against McKnight.


No worries. McKnight is already in a ton of substantiated trouble.


Only because of imaginary evidence and gossip


So all the kids imagined being called hoes?
Or is Beidleman an imaginary person?

I swear people love to spin stuff to fit their narrative. If you don’t like the man just leave it at that. If you’re mad he suspended your kid just leave it at that.

She’s a whore.” MCPS granted the transfer."

All the events would include his promotion to Paint Branch and the complaints made during the last three years including the six last year. YES she was the Superintendent for these events. Quit spinning fiction.

Believe it or not, people don't trust or like gossips even when the gossip isn't about them. You might be surprised to know how negatively people feel about you. You're presumably an adult professional and not 13.


You are presumably an entitled white woman that thinks the earth revolves around her and when a tear drops everyone should come running.


I can’t help but think this message has been posted by a central office insider because it’s so similar to the pure poison we’ve seen documented in the Post. Teachers, I’m so sorry this is the working environment the BOE has created for you and will eagerly support challengers in the next election.

It's only E&C right? Jawando, Mink, Albornoz. Albornoz does not ask tough questions. Mink can, not sure if she will. I think Jawando is too biased to do any real good.
