[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how the coalition can give their support with only one NAACP meeting to discuss the regional model with members seriously questioning MCPS. Taylor knows how to get what he wants. Mostly black women as the face of this rushed initiative.

Now if anybody white or Asian is critical of the program study we can be labelled as racist.

Bingo. Byron and the Black and Brown Coalition put out this statement to give Taylor cover in the face of unsupportive and negative statements for Taylor's model from MCCPTA and MCEA. Taylor called in a favor. Disgusting.[/quote]

I’m sorry, so everyone is sounding the alarm but this random Byron guy says he’s in favor and now that he’s personally blessed the plan, that’s the only voice we listen to? Why would his opinion matter more than teachers, parents and students? [/quote]

He's not a random guy, he leads the NAACP Parents' Coalition and so far is the only major BIPOC stakeholder that is speaking out.[/quote]

Did they all discuss and vote on this?  Presumably, since they're putting their name on the statement?  Does anyone know the backstory?[/quote]

To be clear, the NAACP PC did not put out this statement. The Black and Brown Coalition did. Byron happens to lead both, but this statement is from the Black and Brown Coalition which is led by Byron and Diego.[/quote]

Byron Johns is a vendor for Montgomery College IT on an annual contract that has been about $500,000 for a decade.[/quote]
