[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree or disagree on policy, Montoya’s conduct cannot and must not be tolerated.

Coming from someone who voted for her.

Anyone know if her colleagues at the BOE or Dr. Taylor himself have weighed in? Would love for them to explain whether or not they agree with this behavior.[/quote]

I don't see anything wrong with her conduct. She was accurately calling out bad behavior- in this case, the clearly and wildly inappropriate behavior by the people represented in the audience during the Board meeting.

No doubt the other board members saw and heard that same behavior, both during this particular board meeting and at the earlier meetings. And I bet they all have emails demonstrating it, too.[/quote]

Just so we’re talking about the same conduct—calling anyone who disagrees with you racist is ok?

I was at the board meeting and did not see anyone engaging in any behavior or conduct that was racist. [/quote]

She didn't and doesn't call "anyone who disagrees with" her racist. She called the highly vocal, and poorly behaving, group of people represented at the meeting racist. Accurately.[/quote]

PP: I’m genuinely trying to ask you a real question because this gets at the core of why so many people—regardless of their opinions on the outcome of the vote—are upset about Montoya’s conduct.

You are saying she didn’t call people racist for disagreeing with her. She called out specific group.

The thing is I was at the meeting, she literally said “that’s the racism” to people who cheered on Julie as she voted no. How is that calling out specific people for specific actions? She just called out anyone who cheered for Julie.

This includes calling out me as racist even though I was there to stand against the regional program. I cheered for Julie because I think the regional program is a real step back for equity, and all of a sudden I’m a racist?[/quote]

Just as it is with MAGA rallies, you should be prepared to be called racist if you associate yourself with racist. Even if you truly believe your own motives are different than the others.[/quote]

So this is basically proving my whole point. I, a person of color, show up to the BoE vote because I, like BoE, want more equity in programs. I agree with their intention. I disagree with how we get there.

So are you saying I should not have shown up at all? It’s my fault for showing up, because by doing so, I’m automatically a racist? [/quote]

Are you suggesting people of color can't be racist?

If you associate with racists, even through sharing a side with them, then it becomes incumbent upon you to call of their bad behavior if you don't want the same things applied to you.[/quote]

Of course people of color can be racist. 
Montoya is a great example.
She is racist against Asians.
Her animus toward Asians is so evident, she is practically seething with hate.[/quote]
