Go for it. It will give you something to do all day and you have the money to blow.

Oh Joel, you’re not a lawyer.

Nope the post will be sued…

It isn't a question of "legally." It's about the Post's own standards, and their preference to avoid the appearance of a potential conflict of interest, even though they had included from the outset of the article series a note indicating that Robbins had worked as an MCPS substitute, for different schools than those mentioned.

+1 There is no law here. This is a matter of journalistic ethics and entirely about "appearance of impropriety" rather than actual impropriety or conflict of interest.

Robbins was well-situated to tell this story in part because of her background in the District. Teachers trusted that she would keep their confidence, so they told her their stories. Now that the story has taken on a life of its own, I think it's fine and correct for her to step back because the victims have other folks who are now willing to take them seriously.

For what? Was something proven to be false?

No, the Washington Post stands by the accuracy of the reporting, which btw detailed multiple lies by Joel Biedleman in addition to his sexual harassment and bullying.

Now that I have left teaching I feel like I got my life back. I have lost weight and no longer feel like I am going to have a stress heart attack everyday. I work the hours I get paid for and no longer feel exploited with admin trying to play gotcha all day. It makes me want to shout my story from the rooftops so no teacher is ever exploited again.

And I hope the MCPS Central Office staff who altered the findings are imprisoned.

He clearly isn’t working. Let the system take its course you evil dreadful people.

The irony is I don't think any of them really even care about him. They see this mainly as a way to get at McKnight who they seem to despise.

Yep, they don't care at all about what he may have done. It's all about forcing regime change which is what they wanted long before Biedleman.

People can walk and chew gum. I think people believe Dr. McKnight has done a bad job. Then the Beidleman scandal was exposed and that was both additional confirmation of her leadership failures AND an issue where misbehavior by an administrator was so egregious that it deserves for him to be fired from his job.

Ideally, they both are let go.

About to get your prediction

Oh? Any information to share?

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.

bcs she is a substitute teacher for mcps and can no longer publish articles regarding this topic with the Washington Post due to conflict of interest. Probably another disgruntled mcps employee trying to get some shine like the social studies teacher that is over 60k in debt with the federal government just got a divorce and has three kids… Talk about a setup…

Her association with MCPS doesnt change the facts of the story. Use your brain for once, Joel.

+1. From the Post:

"When this article was published, The Washington Post was aware that the freelance reporter who co-wrote it was substitute-teaching in the Montgomery County school district. Although she did not work at any of the schools named in this article, Post editors later determined that her subbing for the district, including during the month when this article was published, created a potential conflict of interest according to The Post’s standards — one that we should have avoided. This potential conflict of interest is unrelated to the accuracy of her reporting; The Post stands behind this article."

maybe you’re mad because he didn’t have any interest in you. you sound so miserable with your life.

Lol, you're delusional. No worries- at least I didn't get fired for sexually harassing women. That is the definition of a miserable (and pathetic) person. I'll be just fine, thanks!
