[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i’m I was shocked at Montoya racism against Asians. I only know one other group who gets the same type of hate for being a successful minority. I did not realize that Asians get this hate until I heard Montoya speak yesterday. I hope someone submits a hate and bias incident to MCPS since she is an employee. [/quote]

Montoya is not sufficiently knowledgeable about the experience of Chinese people in the US. And she has never reflected on her own biases to examine what she needs to personally work on.

Ok Julie [/quote]

I agree. In a campaign interview with Bethesda Beat, Montoya shared that her own children attend schools in the BCC cluster, so concerns about access to strong high school offerings don’t impact her family in the same way.

I also found it troubling when she responded to either Julie Yang’s vote or the audience reaction by saying “that’s the racism” to another Board member. That kind of accusation shuts down conversation instead of moving it forward.

And if she’s going to suggest that families seeking out stronger academic opportunities are motivated by racism, then it’s fair to ask what factors drove her family to move to the BCC cluster when her kids started in another one.

If we’re going to have honest conversations about equity and access in MCPS, they need to be grounded in facts and handled professionally. Throwing around accusations like that isn’t constructive. She should apologize to the community, and voters can decide whether this is the kind of leadership they want.I certainly won't vote for her again. [/quote]
