So if this isn't a witch hunt then why are you going after McKnight since she wasn't even super when all this happened?

She was the super last year when I was harassed and intimidated. I was too afraid to file a formal complaint because I saw how he wielded his power in the district.

Tell that to all the teachers that didn’t get the transfer position they wanted because he refused to answer phone calls from other principals. Or the teachers that were all involuntarily transferred because he retaliated by cutting their allocation. Or the teachers he stripped of leadership roles so he could give them to his buddies. I could keep going but I think you get the idea. Principals have much more power than you think.
he isn’t that powerful
save it
he is a five foot two man that uses the bathroom just like everyone else
put a fork in it

So guess what mcps teachers. MCPS isn’t any different than any other organization in this country. You want to make the decisions get into a leadership position. It is the way of the world. Go get a masters, go get a doctorate, be the change you want to see. It is the way of the world.

You are really not helping yourself with these rants.

But the poster is bringing another side to this mess. Everyone isn’t genuinely concerned about this case and some will use their Trump tactics to oversee the demise of two African American leaders. It’s an open forum where all opinions are allowed unless the name of the board is Bash Beidleman.

Most people think Beidleman is white

LMAO are you serious? What about this man looks like he can pass for white?

That photo doest accompany 99% of articles and conversation about him. His Jewish-sounding last name, OTOH, does.

What did Munsey even do? A DWI? That's literally a drop in the bucket compared to the plethora of accusations against Biedleman

Normal people moved on frome race ages ago but equity-obsessed progressives moved it front and center in order to justify racially discriminatory policies. So when a Supreme Court Justice is chosen because she is 1. Black 2. A Woman 3. A Democrat 4. Qualified, you can't act surprised when people question her qualifications. When a school district hires a super because she is 1. Black 2. A Woman 3. Qualified, you can't act surprised when people question her qualifications.

Oh I am surprised when white people that are way under qualified are put in high ranking positions because they are just that… white and their fathers fathers were at the poker table every weekend with their secretary under the table. No one is buying that race isn’t playing a factor in this witch hunt.

You're one of those progressives who believe poor kids are just as smart as white kids, aren't you?

Let the racist show their faces. Why would the amount of money a family has equate to intelligence? and are you saying poor kids are black and not white? My point exactly. This board is full of racist that want to see Monifa and Joel on the block. You all aren’t fooling anyone.

Umm.. no. What people want is for there to have been investigations into the allegations against Beidleman with him given the presumption of innocence until a resolution was reached for each allegation. That didn't happen. Beidleman still deserves the presumption of innocence while at the same time those that made the complaints still deserve thorough investigations with outcomes. McKnight claims she never knew of these allegations and we have no choice but to take her for it until evidence proves otherwise. This being said; failures in leadership protocols on many levels made this possible. McKnight is the leader of all of the MCPS leaders and therefore she is accountable to some degree whether she knew about the allegations or not. She either needs to resign, fire those below her that are proven to be the ones that created this mess by failing to do their jobs, or she needs to be forcefully removed from her position. One of these three things is what happens when organizational failures of this magnitude are brought to light. Saying we messed up and we're creating protocols to make sure this never happens again is not accountability in this case. I'm not sure how or why we would look at this situation any differently if the races of those involved were any different. I believe I'm speaking for 99% of people with interest into this circumstance while realizing there is the small group of bad apples that, relative to a stance that is fair and appropriate, are taking a more aggressive or less aggressive stance towards McKnight and Beidleman due to their race.

Mcknight did not say she never knew.

She was very careful to say she did not know of an investigation at the time of the promotion.

Yes- someone like Biedleman has the right to be innocent until proven guilty, but the sheer number of complaints is concerning, and especially since some of these (like the text messages) seem quite easy to probe.

The standard in employment law is not the standard of the criminal law. Under most employment contracts (IDK the principals’ specifically), he’s entitled to a preponderance of the evidence standard and not more than that.

Beidleman will try to sue for mental distress and wrongful termination so mcps is covering their tracks to ensure this doesn’t happen. If all of these allegations are true they are dealing with someone who will manipulate the judicial system.

MCPS first and foremost is trying to make sure Beidleman stands with MCPS in litigation and doesn’t start naming names so it’s easier for plaintiffs to recover large sums from MCPS.

You’re going to have to break that down for PP, who seems unusually dense.

I’m sure she can Google it.

It seems Khalid Walker has quietly been moved from his former position as an investigator to Assistant General Counsel....Great timing!

Is he a lawyer?

Sounds like it should be...

He has no one to name except those that sexually harassed him such as the current QO principal. Maybe he learned that’s the culture of mcps.

Isn’t assistant general counsel a higher paying class of job?

It’s the way they always do it. You have to keep your people in line when you’re in litigation. Same reason Khalid Walker just got promoted.
