MoCo's whole-of-county BOE election paradigm diminishes the liklihood of any minority-viewpoint representation.  FFS, this same problem necessitated rules to redraw districts across the country to better ensure representation of minority interests/viewpoints in public office.  We shouldn't be creating or perpetuating a system that effectively tamps down these views -- a proper representative system would still tend to result in a majority on the board voting with the interests of a majority of the population, just not one that is so lacking in diverse viewpoints and reaonable debate.

What did you smoke?

BOE Today: 
1. An Afro-American superintendent (Dr. McKnight)
2. 3 Afro-American members (Wolff, Evans and Docca)
3. 3 white members
4. 1 Latino member (Silvestre)
5. Plus 1 student

Excepting Asians, I do see all minorities being nicely represented in the current BOE.

According to the U.S. Census, Asians are more of a minority than Whites, Blacks, Hispanic or Latino's, so it's kinda a glaring omission

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/montgomerycountymaryland
White alone, percent	60.0%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent	42.9%
Black or African American alone, percent(a)	20.1%
Hispanic or Latino, percent(b)	20.1%
[b]Asian alone, percent(a)	15.6%
Two or More Races, percent	3.5%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent(a)	0.7%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent(a)	0.1%[/b]
