Schools EXPOSED for spending $160K on lawyers to spin antisemitism problem, not textbooks
One of America's biggest school districts spent $157,000 of taxpayer's money to prepare a board member to speak about its antisemitism problem, casting doubt on its commitment to education, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), a sprawling Maryland district of some 210 K-12 schools in the Washington DC suburbs, spent the money on lawyers to ready education board president Karla Silvestre for a congressional grilling.
And:
A public records request by Parents Defending Education (PDE) shows how the district spent $156,987 on 11 lawyers from top firm Venable for 56 days' work from March through May, ahead of the House subcommittee hearing on May 8.
Easy come easy go, the taxpayers are here to help.
