The union has known about this sex harasser for years. Dozens of teachers were harassed. Why did the union still endorse the same BOE incumbents through its Apple Ballot?


Why don’t you ask the union president instead of DCUM? Thanks.

Except when MCEA does something stupid. And then the teachers are quick to distance themselves from the actions of the union.

Take a deep breath and change your thinking to be motivated in how to support teachers. Don't be motivated on how to make it look like you support teachers while making their lives difficult. There's a difference.

How do you people keep your jobs after using teachers for your own gains without giving support

You, again? You'd still have a job if you were competent. Let it go; find a different career.

No. MCPS administration and school board kept the schools closed. Granted, it's easy for them (and you) to scapegoat the teacher's union as the reason, but ultimately the MCEA had zero authority to shut down schools. The teachers were as divided as the public on the shutdown.


True. Teachers are not a monolith but assume all teachers share the same POV on all things.

There were many teachers who felt we should have been back in the classroom earlier. I will say though, that I think they were outnumbered the teachers who were germaphobes and fearful of even the whiff of infection risk.

I can tell you exactly where that idiot is. HR department for MCPS

Ugh this is sickening. Is central office just a jobs program for incompetent and abusive people?
Turner said Crouse’s decision to resign from Damascus, with the understanding she would retain her principal’s salary, was approved by Superintendent Jack Smith.
