[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, there was like a Facebook group or something for LGBTQ educators, and Mandel (who is neither LGBTQ nor an MCPS staff member) wanted access?

That's weird. She's weird. I think MCPS did the right thing by protecting their staff. [/quote]

She is weird -  but you cannot have a public page for your staff and then block some members of the public based on their political beliefs. That said blocking them from coming to the school board meeting was the bigger issue. [/quote]

Got it. In general, I think Mandel is a virulent homophobe and bully who should not be allowed anywhere near children who are not her own, but I see the point about having a public page. For some reason the Bethesda Magazine article isn't loading for me, but what was the topic of the school board meeting? It kind of seems like MCPS was trying to protect staff from someone who sought to do them harm (which I appreciate), and it's interesting that the judge threw out the part of the case about the school board meeting.

It was the LBGTQ book opt-out protest.

Also I just realized that the school board meeting claim got dismissed so I take back saying that was the bigger issue. I can’t find the judge’s decision but it sounds like he thought the school board did in fact allow the right “time place and manner” restrictions. It sounds like the school board let in a limited number of people from both sides - which is probably justified given the big crowd that had gathered. [/quote]
