The liberal BOE gets a pass every single time

I can't fathom that there are people here minimizing this cretin's words. Disgusting. Who the hell is saying people offended by the use of the word are sheltered? Your ignorance is shocking. Are you part of this person's pr team?

Personally, I would rather that people be allowed to use the word "retard" to mean stupid, and not allowed to use the word "retard" to mean people with disabilities.


It's a character issue - you don't say things like that. I'm sure she's a nice enough woman about some things, but that is just not acceptable.
It's ignorant.

And what is this drivel that you are espousing?


Yes, it is ignorant, and she should apologize. Nothing more than that.

This is not drivel and it seems that you are very sheltered. I want people to stop calling students with disabilities "retards". If people want to call each other 'retard' or name a pudding 'retard', that is less offensive. What is offensive is calling a person with disability a "retard". You have not seen that happen?


This is like debating how to use the word 'n i g g e r '. We don't use that word anymore because it's offensive. Same with ' retard' or 'retarded'.

Derek is paid to silence parents.


Then you should run for BoE from District 1. Or, if you don't live in District 1, you should persuade somebody else to run, and then work for them.

Here's a map of District 1: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/Elections/Resources/Files/pdfs/maps/BoardofEdUpdWeb.pdf

For how to become a candidate, start here: http://www.elections.maryland.gov/candidacy/index.html There's a $25 filing fee.



So to whomever it is who keeps pushing the "shut up or run" sentiments, that's not how all this works. People are allowed to critique the actions of their elected leadership even when they don't want to run for office. That being said, I'd be surprised if Dr. Docca doesn't have a competitive challenger in her next election and she's far too tarnished now to get the teacher's endorsement.


Mentally she seems to operate like a 6 year old. There's got to be a challenger somewhere. If not our entire county is a bigger embarrassment than I thought.

Her language is totally unacceptable.


This is Donald Trump's America now. You're tilting at windmills.


On the uber liberal and fiscally irresponsible MCPS Board!?!?


Well, you can complain about the BoE anonymously on the Internet, or you can actually do something about it. Currently nobody has said that they're running against Docca in 2018. Will you do it?

I am wondering that too. Perhaps it's because Judy Docca just filed for re-election?

I think that it would be more productive for the OP to find somebody else to run for the District 1 seat against Judy Docca, or to run for the seat themself. But that would be work, whereas typing something up anonymously on an Internet message board is easy.


Thanks, Derek. Keep trying. You are getting paid the big bucks to cover for this public official who is a disgrace.
