[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like the behaviors you described, but I am more concerned about the BOE being incompetent and refusing to ask tough questions of the Superintendent. Ultimately I think this stems from their low stipends and lack of independent staff. I'll happily vote for alternative candidates that aren't hateful, especially if they support more physical books and learning with pencil and paper. But honestly I don't think much will change until the BOE has more resources to provide actual oversight of the Superintendent.[/quote]

More money would not help.  She works for Mcps.  [/quote]

I have never seen or heard that Montoya works for MCPS. Where are you getting this from?[/quote]
She gets paid a small salary and excellent benefits from MCPS.

She has unreflected racial beliefs and that is a problem for an elected leader. I heard her hot mic comments last night. [b]She appears bigoted against Asian American communities[/b] in my opinion. She does not know history.[/quote]

+1 Nothing else is there to see.[/quote]

Can you say more? I get people don’t like being called racist, but what did she say that shows she is bigoted against Asian people?

She gave information on the demographics of the current magnets and said a vote to preserve them was racist, not because she thinks there should be fewer Asians at them but because she thinks there should be more seats overall so that more kids have access. Totally fair to be skeptical that will work, but I am not understanding the overwhelming response that she was being racist. [/quote]

There were a lot of Asian American community members in the audience. Montoya had a hot mic moment at the end of the vote on the resolution during which she was talking to Branda Wolff, identifying audience members as being racist when they clapped for Julie Yang's no vote and asked to be spoken to in Chinese after Grace Rivera-Oven spoke to constituents in Spanish. [/quote]

I heard it after the vote. Are you claiming she ALSO called them racist several minutes earlier after Rivera-Ovens speech/the request to translate into Chinese?[/quote]
