Thanks for weighing in Rita, but your hot mic comment stands for itself - that was a really honest moment for you.

Comments don’t stand for themselves, context always matters

The context is that she was saying Asian American parents are racist for not wanting to send their kids further away to Crown HS.

FWIW, I support H, but I don't support what Montoya said. I'll be voting against her next time. Racism has no place in MCPS, right?

DP. Poor choice on her part to mutter that, but most clearly, given the context of the lead-up remarks and the ongoing inability of the save-Wootton community to articulate a rationale that benefitted all of MoCo rather than their community by itself (suggesting that Crown being holding or hybrid was good for Gaithersburg was laughable), she was saying they were racist for not wanting to have their children's school also draw from Gaithersburg.

Oh, ffs, a thoughtful response. Pure manipulation. Most MCPS high schools have plenty of Asisns, so this woman's precious little snowflakes will never experience "otherthness". And, judging by her current last name, they are only part-Asian.
She just doesnt want them going to school with the poors from G-burg, that's it

By that logic, half black kids never get discriminated against right? Interesting take!

How about half Hispanic, or Hispanic people that are light skinned? Asians are seen as "other" more so than light skinned Hispanics.

It’s not a cut. It’s the council not giving mcps the 5% increase they asked for.

Why does mcps need an increase since enrollment is down as they claim?

Here’s a thought…maybe instead of firing all these teachers, mcps should solve its bloat?

It’s high time for mcps to be told NO

Their spending is out of control. Tayor promised transparency, accountability and much more. Many families are struggling right now and aren't getting raises. It's a great way to run people out of the county.

I wish the county council was empowered to go through MCPS' budget line by line. A lot of fat could be cut.

They are empowered to do just that. They could ask for additional data on any line item if they so choose. They could watch all the BOE budget meetings and ask for more info.
