Why is my account anonymous?

@BrendaMDiaz4BOE Raised by a single mom myself (low-income, no child support), no shade there. I still have/had a beautiful life, thanks in large part to an excellent, well-funded public education.

Real question: are two-mom and two-dad families “successful,” in your estimation?

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@BrendaMDiaz4BOE @AMinerDetail @mceanea While you’re here - what do you mean when you mean ‘classical education,’ since you want taxpayers to fund it? More importantly, where -specifically- do you land re: the Hillsdale model, and why?

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@BrendaMDiaz4BOE @AMinerDetail @mceanea I do really appreciate you replying, even if the tone reads a little more “persecution complex” (nothing conservatives in MoCo love more, which is ironic) than Serious Elected Official; I’ll still take it and do appreciate it!

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@BrendaMDiaz4BOE @AMinerDetail @mceanea I don’t care about your heart, respectfully; I don’t need to admire or be friends with my elected officials. I don’t need to want to get a beer with someone to vote for them.

I need to know their concrete stances on issues I care about.

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@BrendaMDiaz4BOE @AMinerDetail @mceanea Show me where you’ve distanced yourself from M4L (a group the overwhelming majority of voters in this county roundly reject, and rightly so). You celebrate their legal victories and parrot their dog whistles around “parental rights.” You spoke on at least one of their panels.

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@BrendaMDiaz4BOE @AMinerDetail @mceanea ✨My✨ praise for conformity? When did I do that? Where? Who’s obliterating you? What is this rhetoric?

As they say in my family: get down off that cross, Brenda, we need the wood.

Setting this vaguely histrionic screed aside, I have a few questions and observations.

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

Y’all, I’m sorry, but I can’t get over the fact that these family-values men nearly always look like lesbians

[Pennsylvania Family Council @PFIpolicy]

Eleven years after Obergefell v. Hodges, more Americans are asking a question that was largely ignored during the original debate:

What has redefining marriage meant for children? ⬇️

This has never been about denying anyone dignity or respect. Every person possesses inherent worth.

But marriage has always served a purpose beyond affirming adult relationships. It exists to unite children, whenever possible, with the mother and father who brought them into the world.

When marriage is redefined around adult desires, parenthood is eventually redefined too. That's why we're seeing laws replace "mother" and "father," elevate intent over biology, and increasingly treat either parent as optional.

D - get a business degree at the most affordable in-state school, learn a trade, start an LLC. Practical, useful, hopefully lucrative, and you stand a chance at salvaging your knees/back over time (drawback of many trades)

[Doog @doogadoo11]

If you were speaking with a high school graduate, what would you advise them to do?

A - Go to college
B - Go to trade school
C - Join the military
D - Other

TEACHERS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY ON ANYTHING

Teachers should also start at $200,000/year, I don’t care. Cut central admin in half and cap their salaries at $200,000.

@SmPotatoes @Geo_S_Patton Give me a non-controversial way to balance enrollment, that won’t send W-cluster parents and realtors into a hysterical frenzy, and I’ll give you my real name. Or $100. You pick.

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@AMinerDetail There are two resulting ironies:

1. They move, and still spend all their time tweeting about Maryland (or MoCo)

2. They move to a blue city/town in red state (San Antonio, Raleigh, Durham, Nashville, NOLA, SLC). Move to Midland or Jacksonville and tell me how bad Maryland is.

Right-wing Catholic converts are just Protestants who find our liturgy more appealing than whatever Pastor Bob megachurch garbage they grew up with. Change my mind.

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

Listen to the (not fired) MCPS teachers who had to work with #BrendaDiazforBoE

[Elizabeth C @echippy]

@DoBetterforKids @EstherLWells @MoCo360Media I have personal experience with Ms Diaz as a teacher. She regularly showed up late for work and made disparaging comments about students. I don't know about her performance review obviously but these are huge red flags to me as an educator outside of her anti mask beliefs.

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

Maybe THIS election cycle, we’ll get an answer, but I’m not holding my breath ✨

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

My only wish for the next Montgomery County BoE election season is for @BrendaMDiaz4BOE to define what a successful family is (since she’s apparently fit to), clarify family structure she’s raising her kids in, and tell us why families without 1 mom + 1 dad are not successful

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@AMinerDetail @BrendaMDiaz4BOE And listen, I’m not even saying I’m an Apple Ballot purist or anything. I’m just saying - Brenda is an M4L darling (have you really dug into her?), M4L is pretty tied to the Proud Boys. https://t.co/KlQebOdtbI

[Brynnleigh @keepmocosane]

@AMinerDetail @BrendaMDiaz4BOE I don’t think I’ve said anything unfair, and if simply publicizing Brenda’s own words and views is tarnishing her, she’s the only one to blame there. I’m also not part of any political mafia, I’m just a mom expressing my perspective.

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse. She had access to birth control and abortion, meaning that having a baby was a choice.

She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.

Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.

MoCo: remember Brenda Diaz is a walking conspiracy theory. Fired from MCPS. Thinks RFK is an authority on vaccines. Defines “successful family,” won’t answer questions about her own. Speaks on anti-trans panels. Endorsed by Moms 4 Liberty and MoCo Republican Party.
