[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black and Brown "coalition" is just 2 dudes, like Parents Coalition is just one lady.

Give yourself a phony name and file some palers and you can be a Coalition or an Institution or a Foundation to.

No, Black and Brown Coalition has more but they are the same as the NAACP people. [/quote]

Half of Black and Brown Coalition is NAACP Parents’ Council, which is what Byron leads. The other half is led by Diego and his organization Identity.[/quote]
Identity is made up of 100% of employees who are paid with county dollars to run programs for MCPS students. Total conflict of interest for Uriburu - one hand washes the other.

To be fair it's really Byron Johns who has been pushing the support. What bothers me is this is clearly him backing up his MCPS buddies but they and the media act like they speak for all the Black and Latino families in MCPS.[/quote]

The NAACP Parents Council doesn't have a formal process to "sign on" to things. They never polled their members or discussed it in detail with them to understand pros and cons. And when members said that process felt wrong, they got yelled at.

So anytime they are saying they have a stance on something, remember that it's how Byron Johns feels on any given day, not a rigorous process. MCCPTA has its issues, but they go through a documented (tedious) process for any public resolutions or advocacy stances.[/quote]
