Maryland Principal Promoted Despite 18 Reports of Sexual Assault, Harassment, Bullying
National Review ^ | August 11, 2023 | HALEY STRACK

Posted on 08/12/2023 8:51:17 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Montgomery County Public Schools granted a $191,000 salary to a principal with 18 counts of sexual assault, harassment, and bullying reported against him.

Joel Beidleman was employed with the Maryland district for years as principal of Farquhar Middle School, and was promoted in June to run Paint Branch High School in Burtonsville. MCPS announced on Friday that Beidleman would take an “extended leave,” after a bombshell report from the Washington Post highlighted the former administrator’s years of alleged harassment. Many sources interviewed for the Post’s article agreed to publicize Beidleman’s purported misconduct because of his new position.

Educators who used to work with Beidleman told the Post that he was “the most vindictive person I’ve ever met” and “a tyrant who tried to force himself on people, whether emotionally, sexually or professionally,” adding that “this person should not be exposed to students.”

Jeremy Raskin D-MD lives in Silver Spring— this is HIS county. Perverted, wrong and corrupt.

I went to Farquhar in the early 70’s. It was surrounded by farm fields and woods.

You're older than me. I didn't go to Farquhar but I did go to another school not too far away from Farquhar.

Back then, it wasn't too bad. But the writing was on the wall. So things like this isn't surprising at all to me.

18 counts of sexual assault, harassment, and bullying are résumé enhancements in certain environments, mostly “woke” communities. “Woke” parents don’t seem to like their kids very much, so it is OK for them to be submitted to the tender mercies of whatever sadistic authority figures are out there.

In July 2017, a former PTA president asked to remove her daughter from Beidleman’s middle school, after he allegedly referred to an eighth-grader as a “whore.” The district allowed the transfer, according to the Post. Beidleman also allegedly made derogatory comments about women’s bodies and outfits and encouraged, to an uncomfortable degree, staff to consume alcohol.

He made some #metoo women into alcoholics! I have not seen this kind of accusation before. This cave man never heard Aretha Franlkins song R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

If Tucker Carlson still had his program on Fox News, this is the point he'll be making about this incident.

Attended Sherwood for High School. But spent time at Walter Johnson in Bethesda because they had a rifle range in the basement. (Yeah, I’m old enough to have carried my .22 through hallways and nobody said a thing.). Where was the school you attended?

He has the Trump card over the #metoo movement.

That’s pretty close to half of the President’s salary. 2000 students. Besides the fact that this guy is being investigated for serious crimes, perhaps the local taxpayers might want to look at administrators’ salaries. Just a thought.

In the early 2000s, in Polk County florida, I will not name the high school, the girl next door who was a senior and several of her friends were talking with me and they told me how the principal of their school whom I had the displeasure of knowing, was a little too grabby with the girls to say the least. They were kind of disgusted to even tell me. Well lo and behold it got so bad that instead of getting rid of the guy Polk County simply moved him to another school 50 Mi away. That’s how it works in that system.

Works for the judicial system also. Back in the early seventies I was peripherally involved with some Court proceedings that were under the jurisdiction of a judge who was to put it quite mildly nuts. If you had a divorce case in his court and you were a man you were royally shafted. But it wasn’t just that. An attorney told me that lawyers wouldn’t take cases in Seminole County for fear they would end up in his courtroom. This went on for a long time and the powers that be figured the way to fix it was to Simply kick him up the ladder to a higher Court position. Yep that’s how it works people

I wonder how they define harassment and bullying? Damn near anything anyone doesn’t like could qualify these days.
