Yet.

Yes Hidayat called a spade a spade (finally someone willing to do that!). I appreciate his strong stance on accountability and safety. We need more of that!!

Here's a summary of positions based on a recent forum.

Not everyone participated as you can see. Evans and Harris are the incumbents for reference.

Could someone find and post the full graphic? I’m curious to see how Laura Stewart answered these questions but the graphic doesn’t include her responses.

You don't need some random guy's scorecard. You can listen to the candidates themselves.

And if Laura Stewart didn't scrub her twitter, you could also see how far left and bonkers she is.

Because the election of different school board members will somehow have an impact on all of the above??? What fairytale universe do you live in? How is a BOE member or SROnfor that matter going to stop Bomb threats or hate based graffiti?

Yes. I'm not in support of her because she's run a pretty terrible campaign thus far and she was accused of creating a hostile work environment and pushed out of DCPS so clearly she has her own skeletons in her closet, but I did think this was a dead-on assessment of the current state of MCPS.

I'm fine with anyone who answers NO to all of these questions.

Anyone capable of making change is going to step on a few toes. So far I kind of like what I've read about her.

LOL no. He is a gas-lighting, right-wing fear-mongering candidate.

Not that MCPS BOE or MCPS does not have issues.

His anger displayed at forums and his support for right-wing stance is not what we need in a diverse county like MOCO. Listen to his words carefully. Besides the SRO issue what does he bring to the table in terms of curriculum or running of schools? Nothing zero qualifications.

We need people who work with others. We need the board to be effective and when candidates are running with nothing but anger how will this translate to a functioning BOE/

Diaz and Mandel are promoting Classical curriculum = Christian Nationalism.

Diaz is on Twitter if anyone would like more information about her. Please go online and research her.

Mandel, how is she going to work with other board members when she is suing them? She currently has a lawsuit against members of the current BOE. Everyone should read it.

No matter what your feelings are about the current BOE please research candidates carefully.

We all have the right to our opinions, which is why research is key. The goal is to have a functioning BOE that can work together to bring MCPS to the best it can be for all students. We do not want to go backward.

Mandel scrubbed hers as well.

Hers can be found on Reddit, Twitter (yes others outed her), Utube, and Instagram which she shut off comments LOL can not imagine why, Multiple speaking engagements at Moms4Liberty events (all online). America First legal Stephen Miller Mr Camps himself funds her lawsuits that can also be found online.

Of course it will. The current progressive-heavy BOE has lead to a sharp decline in all educational metrics across MCPS including discipline. This is because progressives hate discipline.
