[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, woman of color here! I'm a member of Stephen's group. Never been kicked out and no matter how much you guys try to throw crap at Stephen it's not going to stick. He is a good and honorable man. I don't know why you all are hell-bent on moving OTHER PEOPLE'S kids around. It's really none of your business. Please go and volunteer your time and do good for Montgomery County instead of fomenting division and destroying goodwill. This has already backfired spectacularly. We were completely oblivious to county politics and just kept our heads down and kept paying our rising taxes. You have no poked the bear and he's not going back to sleep.

That's the "it's never happened to me, so it hasn't happened" argument.

Steve Austin is running for a seat on the Montgomery County Board of Education, which oversees Montgomery County Public Schools. Not your school or my school. Not your child or my child. [u]Our[/u] schools, and [u]our [/u]children.

I do agree with your call for people to go and volunteer their time. Most of the other candidates have done just that. Steve Austin has not.

(Parenthetically, it's interesting how often someone on DCUM will respond to a comment specifically related to the specific experiences of black/African-American people with "As a person of color, I..." Probably, if they were black/African-American themselves, they'd say so, instead of saying " as a [non-specific] person of color, I..."?)[/quote]
+1 agree with the ()  .. I'm a person of color. I'm Asian American.  And no, Austin does not have my vote.  I'm somewhat frugal, and building more to alleviate over crowded schools is more expensive than looking at adjacent clusters to alleviate over crowding. No one who is budget conscious would seriously think that building more is the answer to alleviate  the overcrowded schools, or raisng taxes.[/quote]
