Taylor’s email to the reader is printed below.

This really means a lot. The data is what the data is – I can’t change it. Politicians who chest-thump is nothing new in Montgomery County. I work for politicians, but I am not one and I also don’t wobble when they fuss (this makes them uncomfortable). Been doing this a long time…what’s the worst that could happen? They fire me? …great! Maybe I’ll get a full night’s sleep for once. 🙂

In all seriousness, the state has no role in this, especially individual legislators. We’ll get through this. And yes – Magruder finally has a clear path! They will be in the next CIP…I just wish it didn’t take so dang long to get stuff done around here.

Again, thanks for reaching out. Onward…!

All my best,

Thomas

Oh this email only confirms again that he is a narcissist. I appreciate him not bending toward politicians, but meanwhile it also reveals his extreme arrogance and belief in himself that he is always the smartest elephant in the room.

So, where did you go to medical school, pp? And how many times have you sat with Dr. Taylor ?

Asking since you’re handing out clinical diagnoses. Would love to know your credentials to do that.

What? You don’t have them? Then sit down and shut up, because nothing you say is valid. And you’re the worst kind of person.

Oh, so now people need to prove their credentials to post on an anonymous message board? -NP

The email itself doesn’t bother me. But it does hint to him being overwhelmed with the job and not giving two Fs anymore.

Nah, I think he's just being jokey. You gotta say something casual to lighten the mood after you say your "I'm gonna do what I think is right even if they fire me" thing.

My God. The Taylor apologists are capable of the most ridiculous mental gymnastics I've ever seen.

Dr. McKnight would have been nailed at the stake if she said this. But Taylor? Oh, he's just joking. Incredible.

You do understand that Communications Director Chris Cram is personally posting on this thread to make his boss look better.

You realize you have a mental health disorder

One that is fact based. MCPS admin have already been caught posting anonymously.
It is a well known tactic of MCPS and other school systems.

By whom? In your dreams?

In various court documents when MCPS has been sued.

Oh, I like him now.
I didn’t really have an opinion of him before, but now...

How is it that all the I love Taylor posts haven't been able to name one thing they like about him except this one email?

The thing they like about him is that he is anti-looney, helicopter parents of MoCo. The people who love Taylor love the parents and students they're supposed to serve.

Fixed for you

Yes, because you, Essie and Taylor should be trusted with categorizing and classifying whose gripes and complaints are legitimate and valid.

I have no idea who Essie is and I only know of Taylor because he is my kids school district’s superintendent. But if they make you this deranged and crazy, I am happy to be listed among those legends.

See, this proves you are Taylor's brainless fan. You don't know his buddy group, nor what Essie did in the past and what she has been doing in the past year, you claim you just know he is MCPS superintendent, so everyone has to show allegiance to him.

According to gemini, "A "brainless fan" is a derogatory term for an individual with an intense, often irrational, and uncritical devotion to a celebrity, team, brand, or franchise. They are typically viewed as followers who refuse to acknowledge flaws, lack critical judgment, and blindly support their favorite entity regardless of evidence or logic." This precisely describes who you are.

Geez. If you are not from CO, you must be a brainless fan of Taylor. You can disagree with others' opinion about Taylor, but calling them idiots and falsify their message in your quote is really really sick.

The thing they like about him is that he is anti-parent. The people who love Taylor hate the parents and students they're supposed to serve.

I'd give Taylor a mixed review. He's made choices or proposals I support, choices I don't, and choices I have no feeling about because they don't concern me. I think you've nailed his supporters here, at least, with this comment. Look at the person posting in every thread with comments about "Mad Mommies," as if it's inherently insulting to be a parent who has opinions about the schools.

I'm not sold that Taylor himself has this attitude, but the email does give me pause. He talks about the opinions of politicians who "fuss," but the criticism of closing Wootton is coming from politicians because it's how their constituents feel. I don't care about Wootton in particular, but the Superintendent should be responsive to the concerns of parents when making a big change like that. It doesn't necessarily mean making a different choice, but I don't love how it seems like he's thinking about the response to the proposal.
