Before Electing an Abolitionist….What Does it Mean?
In securing the coveted Apple Ballot endorsement, Natalie Zimmerman who is running for BOE District 2, completed a questionnaire where she professed to be an abolitionist educator.

The fallacy of MCPS’s top 100 salaries
MoCo360 released a blockbuster list of the top 100 earners at MCPS. The most outrageous, elitist, and abominable aspect of this list is that I’m not on it. Outside of that, there really isn’t anything wrong. It really is OK that the school Superintendent Monifa McKnight made $342,400/year. Let’s do some critical analysis. Those top…

Breaking Up MCPS
There are some aspects of our life that are so ingrained in our consciousness that we don’t even question them. One of them is the boundary for “Montgomery County Public Schools.” The school district’s boundary coincides with the county’s boundary, so there is only one public school system for the entire county.

Removing a Council Member
Some jurisdictions provide a remedy for removing an elected official that no longer serves his/her constituency. For Americans, arguably the most important removal procedure is against the president of the United States.

MoCo’s Socialism Is for the Rich: Part 3—The Way Out
In Part 2 of this series we pointed out that the socialists in MoCo have brought us to a situation in which a $1.3 million severance pay is given to a disgraced school superintendent while the poor are threatened with cuts in bus service. In this installment we prescribe a few remarkably easy ways to…
