Report finds Montgomery County Public Schools failed to monitor thousands of criminal histories sinc YouTube video by DC News Now

I also spoke to Kevon Dupree from @dcnewsnow.bsky.social about it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=L5wj...

Whichever person or dept
( @mocoboe.bsky.social - ??) was in charge of this needs to be terminated immediately.

It seems MCPS didn’t sweep this one under the rug far enough.

'MCPS has dropped the ball:' Parent reacts to Inspector General background check audit A new watchdog report found that Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has more than 12,000 current employees who have outdated criminal background checks.

I had the opportunity to speak to Josh Chapin from @abc7 today about the OIG report which brought to light that MCPS is failing once again. This time, it’s that 12k employees haven’t been properly vetted, yet are working with our kids.

I’m more inclined to call them assholes, but we can go with eugenicists too.

Please share this. Not many people know about this & are only focusing on cuts to things like cancer research (which is also egregious), but this is important too & will have lasting ramifications for future generations.

They are destroying lives, both directly & indirectly, wrecking havoc doing what they want with no research or information to guide its decisions & leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

This is an egregious overstep. Not only is the research & data extremely important, but it’s Congressionally mandated so once again this administration is breaking the rules of our country & going against Congressional mandates.

Here’s an example of one of the annual reports: samhsa.gov/data/sites/def…

It’s 146 pgs.
One of the authors is a dear friend of mine. His entire team was eliminated. Click the report link, read the first paragraph w the acknowledgments- not a single person in the list is left.

6/

I CANNOT fathom the reasoning to cut this, except bc the current administration has no idea what it is, and is ignorant to what the data means, or how important it is. And so here we are with one of nation’s most important research team thrown in the trash.

5/

The dedicated scientists working on it had to work very hard to complete it & understand how to appropriately & ethically manage it bc it’s so comprehensive & complicated.

4/

It is actually a Congressionally mandated annual report & the only report of its kind done in the US. All major universities & researchers use it regularly.

The NSDUH is an incredibly comprehensive & difficult data set to work with.

3/

An entire team at the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) was terminated as part of the RIFs. This was the team working on The National Survey on Drug Use & Health.

It’s the only national survey focusing specifically on drug use & mental health.

🚨🚨 IT’S MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH!

I would assume Americans care about illegally made fentanyl & mental health treatment access (if you don’t, you’re gross- plain & simple).

Here’s a tidbit of info you may not know about:

Hey @govwesmoore.bsky.social @pepcoconnect.bsky.social --Are u trying to bankrupt ur ppl w these new taxes/fees? My budget plan bill just went up $200+/mo making it close to $500/mo. That’s not only crazy, it’s unaffordable. Guess I’ll tell my kids no more TV or games bc we can’t afford to let them.

🏈Saved the lives of 25M children suffering from severe malaria. (This one has value on its own, but apparently Musk disagrees.)

This Superbowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

🏈Protected 30M football fields worth of tropical forest in Africa, preventing 🇨🇳 & 🇷🇺 from exploiting timber & critical minerals that fuel our world

🏈Shipped 29K metric tons of American food products worth $40M on US ships instead of letting it waste away in a TX warehouse

🏈Bought enough emergency food-aid products made in Georgia and Rhode Island to treat 880,000 severely malnourished children

🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training and support to 50,000 people in Central America

‼️ Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl  ads calling #USAID wasteful.

Imagine how many people he could have helped with that $40M! Talk about wasteful, selfish & misguided spending!

Here are just a few ways we could’ve spent $40M:

Day 1 example that the president doesn’t have the best interest of the American ppl at the forefront. Chef Andrés & his team at World Central Kitchen exemplify the best of humanity & their service to US & the world is invaluable! But chump doesn’t like him so he lies about firing him. Were screwed.

* I should point out I am talking about DJT here and not Lee Greenwood (though he is a giant douche)

And if he was any kind of real Christian, he’d take 100% of the proceeds of this “limited edition, only 5000 copies Bible” and donate it to a Christian charity. But he won’t. That’s not the plan.
Disgusting & self-serving are 2 of his calling cards & this proves it once again

This guy’s depravity knows no bounds. True Christians should be outraged about this.
This flies in the face of 2 specific commandments:

“You shall have no other gods”

“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain”

Now do you understand?

I don’t think it’s too much to expect people to keep their word & to demand honesty, integrity, and accountability from people we elect & whose salaries our taxes pay for. This goes for every level of elected positions.

But maybe that’s just me… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Yup. Clutched them so hard I pulled them right off. Gotta get myself a new set so I can keep on clutching.

In your opinion that’s what X is. It’s where they have the most followers & engagement. And on Dec 11 they said that they’d heard ppl’s concerns & would keep posting there & they don’t. So they lied. Kinda seems like they belong on X bc @mocoboe.bsky.social & MCPS definitely fit in with “hot mess.”

Why was this not posted on Twitter/X where all your followers are and where you said you would continue to post? There’s almost zero engagement on posts made here, IG, & FB.
This is wrong & dishonest to the statement made on Dec 11, 2024.

@mocoboe.bsky.social are liars. On 12/10 they posted on Twitter/X they’d no longer be posting there & got a lot of backlash. So on 12/11 they said they’d “heard” us & would cont to post there, yet there’s been NO posts there since that, yet posts on FB, here & IG.
All their followers are on Twitter.

I can answer that since they won’t- they did not post on Twitter where all their followers are. They posted on FB & IG. FB got no engagement, IG got 2 likes (and 2 comments asking this same question), and here- nothing but your comment (and now mine).
This is BS & they’re liars.
