[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I voted for Lazo, reading her response about textbooks, reducing tech, etc. I might vote for Diaz in November. As someone said upthread, "education matters more than how someone feels about pride flags."[/quote]

Flags are symbolic for real issues. Suicide among non-straight youth is high, because we live in an intolerant world, as evidenced by Diaz and her beliefs.[/quote]

I'm not worried that one school board member is going to turn 2026 Montgomery County MD into 1990's Kentucky on LGBTQ issues. I worry more about safety, discipline, and academic standards in this particular time and place.[/quote]

Are you not worried about what happens when Diaz advocates for all these reasonable things (assuming she bothers to show up for work) and then makes crazy comments about leftists and how something or other is "the new Jim Crow"? She would be a gift to anyone opposing reform because she will make reform seem crazy.[/quote]

Will Omar Lazo be a voice for better safety, discipline, and academic standards? So far, I did not get impression he gives much priority to these issues. Chase was even worse and is deservingly out.[/quote]

Omar is a bit shapeless. He hasn't really staked out strong points of view of anything. He says a lot of general platitudes but he hasn't distinguished himself on any of the areas of concern that you raised.

And yet, he has handedly won because he got the Apple ballot.[/quote]

+1 I just looked at his website and it's like... I want schools and teachers to have more of every resource AND ALSO I'm for strong fiscal stewardship!

Doesn't really tell us how he'd consider trade-offs, nor does it make him seem like someone who might push back against Taylor.[/quote]
