I am a member of the Board of Education of Baltimore County who voted against Dallas Dance’s employment contract renewal earlier this year because I think his job performance warranted it. As a fair person, I was on the fence about whether Mr. Dance’s recent controversial retweet and his explanation of it should be cause for his dismissal.
On Nov. 8, Mr. Dance retweeted a post from former Montgomery County School superintendent Joshua Starr. It read: “Educators: tomorrow pls show your muslim, black, latino, jewish, disabled, or just non-white St’s, that you love them and will protect them!”
