advice from the expert with no children in the system

I have children in public schools and you better believe I'm thinking about pulling out my daughters! Either that or sue to get my tax dollars back!

? If something horrible happens at a private school will you pull your kid out of private? So, where then where will you go? Home school?

Some white men have commited rape; are you going to tell your DD not to marry a white man?

I'm not the PP, but we have a reasonable expectation that we can send our girls (and boys) to school and expect that they will not be RAPED by an 18 year old man in the bathroom.

If this happened and we were at a private school, you can damn well believe that the parents would sue.

I come from a country where women face threats and realize what it does to female society as a whole. If there is the possibility of rape at school, it has an immense effect on girls' educations. It's a great way to keep girls and their parents scared.

This is unacceptable.

This person or people who keep bringing up rapes outside of school grounds simply don't understand the conversation. No one is saying rape doesn't happen. No one is saying rapes don't occur among other races. Stop bringing race or incidents outside of school into this.

This issue is rape on school grounds during school hours. Get it?

Yes, we should consider whether this crime is an indicator that certain policies should be changed. But calling for the superintendent to resign? That is hysteria and it does your cause no good. Would you have called for the superintendent of the Newtown school district to resign? No, because that was considered an isolated tragedy no one could predict. If you think YOU could have predicted this because undocumented students are so obviously all criminals to you, al I can say is that your prejudices are not supported by facts.

The Superintendant has made it clear that he does not thing this is a big deal. It took days for him to even acknowledge the event and then at the meeting, he refers to it as an 'event'.

He is the one who is not even making an effort to address policy issues. Seems to want the whole 'event' to just go away without making any meaningful change. That is why there are calls for him to resign. He has failed our students repeatedly. And is not even willing to own up to that.

Do you feel that Jack Smith's response has been appropriate?

Are you kidding? What the heck do you think Smith was trying to do? He was forced to talk to the media and have this meeting with the community because Hogan blasted him, Spicer talked about it when the national media picked up in the story. He was trying to cover this up, but it blew up in his face. He doesn't give a damn about that poor girl or protecting our kids. Just worried about his reputation. He should step down.

Agreed. I had hope for Smith but his performance on this incident has been a complete disgrace. F-

Agreed too. But I don't think he is the person who should be blamed. He is just doing his job following the current policy and voters' will. The current policies needs to be revised and people needs to learn something from this tragedy.

Yes, the issue is a rape on school grounds. That is exactly what I said. It is unacceptable.

Why do you think it was so hard to replace Star? And it was hard, they couldn't get anyone to take this job. The "insiders" know what is going on here and they don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole and they are certainly not crying in their coffee this morning over not being associated with this horrible, horrible act on a child. They couldn't get anyone other than Smith, you are STUCK with this loser and so are your children. This is what happens when you allow your schools to become cesspools, good job parents!

Except bone age doesn't have much to do with chronological age. My 11 year old had 7 year old bones. I also know kids who had older bones. Same is true for adults.

Two white kids at a local school were having sex in the locker room. So....

Oh, you didn't hear about that one.... because they were not hispanic. White kids having sex... just part of growing up. Hispanic kids having sex, disgusting.

Also there was a blow job incident on a bus recently. White kids... chirp, chirp, chirp.

Consensual sex is not the same as rape.

The point is when Hispanic kids have consensual sex it ends up in the paper, when white kids have sex it is not.

When white boys rape white girls it is not in the paper or on Fox 5 news, but when it is a Hispanic it is. Don't you see that as a problem, that we just brush all the other rapes under the carpet?

There were >250 rapes in 2015, did you hear about any of those. Did you hear about any HS rapes that were white kids? Do you think that mean white kids don't rape? Yes... that is what it make many people thing. You are being conditioned to believe that your daughter won't get raped if we get rid of Hispanics and it is a big fat lie.

Obviously, it's about the men's immigration status.

You know, when several children were shot at schools, half the public were angry and demanded that at least semi automatic rifles be banned, but the gun nuts claimed one or two bad apples shouldn't mean the rest can't enjoy their guns. I know, owning guns is legal, illegal immigrants are not. But, the crazy part is that we allow anyone in the public to own a semi automatic gun including someone with mental disabilities. That's crazier than allowing in illegal immigrants.

I worry more about my kids being shot at in school than being raped in school, yes even now.

Let's see early we got the woman's rights idiot, and now we have the gun rights idiot, you people have no shame. This IS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN IN A PARTICULARLY TRAGIC INCIDENT not about your political crap. STFU.

The superintendent's response to the rape reminds me of the Rotherham scandal in England. So afraid of being perceived as politically incorrect or considered racist that they're willing to sacrifice our young children.

Am I to understand that everyone on this board is blaming the administration? I'm curious, how many of your boys and girls have shared with you stories about "certain" students and behaviors at their schools and you have dismissed them over the past, let's just keep it to this year? How many times have you sat back and said, it's a tough situation and we have to be charitable even though your children were clearly letting you know they were fearful. I have a friend who is a high school in MCPS and have heard her tell her students to just make smart choices and give these kids a chance. I on the other hand would tell them to listen to their instincts and govern themselves accordingly. I'm sorry, but the administration works for us, the citizens, and we were lax in not being on top of this and understanding how this dynamic was fitting into our children's daily lives. I hope this opens some of your eyes, I truly do.

He is merely governing himself as to how society will perceive him, that is the norm of this country. Political correctness is what got us here in this situation in the first place. You wouldn't want to be called a racist would you. I can't blame him for wanted to cover his own ass, this was a no win situation for him either way. He would either be portrayed as a racist and out of a job or as being politically correct, as you are doing. Either way, he is screwed. Just saying.

Will Jack Smith allow community volunteers/parents to monitor the school cameras?

This would reduce most of the problems happening.

The distraught board member is crying out to the new administration to begin deporting this unacceptable situation the county has been put in. Between the crime, disease , the difficulty in maintaining a academic atmosphere and half a billion dollars per year in school services for illegals the county is crying out for ICE to get in here and do its job.

That is BS. The schools just need to require proof of age, guardianship, immunization whatever and deny anyone that does not have that documentation. It is a federal law that illegal children are allowed to go to school. But the systems can still require documentation to fit their policies before accepting ANY students. The fact that MCPS looks the other way is WHY so many come to our system. MCPS sends note after note home that no 7th grader can attend school without documentation of immunization - and threaten that your kid cannot attend school without them - Oh, but unless you are illegal, then no problem- we have an exception for you.

You have a source on MCPS spending est. $500M per year on illegal students? That's insane if true.

Montgomery County is one big social experiment gone wrong. This used to be such a lovely community, what a shame.

Agreed. People needs to be more cautious and cleverer when selecting politicians and officials to represent our interests. After all. our children in schools will be affected by the policies made by these people. Administration also needs peoples' support to do the right thing. If Jack Smith does what we expect a responsible superintendent should do, he will get pressure from the overall political system. If he lost his job due to protecting our children, will anyone on the board offer him a position?

You do realize there is a supreme court case that says illegal immigrants are entitled to an education?
What do you want him to do? Break the law?
