[quote=Anonymous]I would be greatly surprised if Hogan loses his bid for re-election.  I'm already getting emails from friends for Maladeno fundraisers, *yawn*.  I don't care about his agenda points, his message is weak.  He is following the path blazed by Hillary Clinton of having a message that misses the mark for the majority of voters.

I certainly don't agree with everything that Hogan has done, but the actions of the MoCo BOE affect my children's education directly.   For years we've been sitting by helplessly wondering who could step in to corral this out of control BOE.

It's not a difficult decision.  Keep spring break, and take out the extra minority religious holidays.  Solid weeks are much better for a child's education, which is actually the purpose of school.  I think it is financially difficult for poor central American immigrants to plan and pay for three additional days of whole day childcare for holidays they don't celebrate anyway.

Montgomery County BOE will more than likely cut the spring break that the majority of parents would like to keep and try to blame Hogan.  It's the BOE's choice in how to implement the governor's reasonable order so the backlash will fall on them.[/quote]
