But I don't know.

If the culture is this toxic, what does that say about her as its leader?

The BOE needs to hold her accountable.


And what if THEY are the source of the problem?


I think that depends on the BOE member. Shebra Evans and Brenda Wolff are definitely staunch McKnight defenders. I can't tell which way Silvestre and Smondroski lean. Lynne Harris is largely aligned with McKnight but willing to go even more left than McKnight when it comes to LGBT and environmental issues. And Grace Rivera-Oven and Julie Yang don't seem to be infatuated with McKnight at all. Grace is probably the most openly critical of McKnight out of all the BOE members.

Or maybe one of the paralegals for his defense? The trolling is pathetic either way and speaks poorly of him and his supporters.

Either way, I believe every word Khalid Walker says and I knew they were scapegoating him. Good for him for fighting back. Brian Hull has got to go.


Why just Brian Hull and not Monifa McKnight?


I don't disagree that Dr. McKnight is problematic. It's hard to be believe that there are this many bad eggs within MCPS and she's a saint with clean hands, but the article directly addresses Hull so that's why I called him out.

But you're right, at some point, Dr. McKnight has to shoulder the blame as the leader and head of this dysfunctional organization.

Why either of them? And who will they be replaced by???

Let the investigations finish and the folks determined to be responsible be dismissed.


How many more investigations are there now?

+1 As we’ve seen from the start, McKnight and her teams’s handling of this case has been above board and by the book from the start. A masterclass in effective policies being executed to the T by the administration. MCPS leadership deserves the benefit of the doubt in this until otherwise proven liable in a court.


What are the odds this is the same person replying to themselves


More likely the people responding to this are the usual cranks who love to complain and see conspiracies everywhere.

Robbins isn't on staff at the WaPo, so I think this is normal.


But she had been freelancing for the Post for the previous series of articles. I wonder if this has to do with the many recent staff departures at the Post; maybe an editor she had been working with is no longer on staff there.
