[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I think the argument is that it is racist to send rich white and asian kids to school with hispanic kids.[/quote]

Her kids are in NCC, and pipeline to BCC.. her kids will go to school with the rich kids... she has no clue whats going on down the road from her.[/quote]

She has older kids in special programs outside the cluster and has a weird vendetta against B-CC. She seems to really hate it. Yes, lots of rich kids at B-CC, but also lots of lower-income families as well. I bet the kids in the program her kids go to are rich, too, because that’s who’s sending their kids to those programs. And it’ll continue to be like that with the regional model. [/quote]

It's interesting to me that BOE members who protest against what they perceive to be elitism have/had their children in some of these programs: Laura Stewart's son is a graduate of RM IB and Karla Silvestre's children were in Spanish Immersion programs and the IB program at BCC. I assume that Montoya's children are in language immersion programs.

Let's see what Taylor and his minions in the BOE do with the language immersion programs. My guess is these programs will be cut in one way or another -- of course, after the BOE's children have finished them. [/quote]

I thought Stewart was Einstein. [/quote]

Her son went to RMIB.[/quote]

She has two kids.  [/quote]
