Micah Watson, a candidate for the PGCPS School Board in the 4th District, is the latest to respond to allegations of administrators suppressing student dissent at Northwestern High School— This statement has been published unedited.Thank you for letting me know about this incident. I was not aware of it, and have not heard from any other sources about it. It speaks to my greatest frustration with PGCPS, and one of my main reasons for running: lack of communication with the stakeholders of our public school system. That means families, parents, teachers and students. I would not support the administration reviewing students’ tweets without probable cause, and would not support taking any action against anyone based on a tweet except to prevent harm or potential harm to a person or property, bullying, or some other serious consequence. I will read the petition before deciding whether to sign it, and I want to know more about this.
Best regards,
Micah Watson, District 4 Candidate, cell 240-603-9366.
