I was un-banned recently (and most likely temporarily) from the
Howard County Redistricting Opposition Group.
As a result, I was able to view some posts about the “HoCo Families for
Educational Improvement (FEI),” the group which inspired the title of this article.
There was a fundraising link for the FEI which noted that
they only accept donations from Maryland residents. Why not Howard County residents only? Why are they apparently willing to receive cash
infusions from folks residing in, for example, Garrett County? Won’t outside dollars lead to outside
influence? It is “HoCo Families,” is it
not?
Beyond that, I see more of a commitment by this group to
partisan name-calling and invective-laden personal denunciations of those combatting segregation
than I do anything resembling “educational improvement.” It takes but a quick glance at the comments
to see the vitriol of the Opposers in full effect.
Fig leaves wilt and crumble, every candidate seeking
election to the Howard County Board of Education needs to recognize this fundamental
point. The watchers will themselves be
watched. And their words and actions
subject to the highest levels of scrutiny.
It is called accountability, ladies and gentlemen, and the
deceivers shall be called out by name.
Happy New Year Dear Readers!
In solidarity.
