Yeah, no. FERPA.

Kids in school have seen the video. They know who was fighting.

It’s not surprising that when the players who were fighting are in class and attending practices, enforcement was a farce. Everyone knows that it was only a two game suspension.

Fighting will not only continue in MCPS athletics, but there will be increased violence in schools because hugs and apologies isn’t going to stop bad behavior.

I imagine when a kid has pushed you a few times during a game you have to think "should I deck this kid or no?" If part of your internal reasoning comes back with "it's only a 2 game suspension " I would probably go for it.

What life lessons is athletics teaching kids? I am mad so I am going to hit the other kid?

A two game suspension was nothing. Kicking the players off the team would say fighting is not tolerated.

I want to know who the guys restraining the Blake player at the end of the clip were. They had him in a choke hold and he was still thrashing about. . .

Fighting in sports is almost always handled by suspension from playing.

As several PPs have pointed out, fighting used to be kicked off the team.

Not in my experience. But YMMV.

+1. And I want to know who the adults were who were engaged in fighting rather than trying to stop it.

Any word as to who the adults were and what the MCPS response will be?

No FERPA on that one to hide behind.

LOL.

MCPS and the Principals will pretend that the fighting never happened from here on out. No safety concerns. No need for extra security at games. This was just another hiccup after removing SROs.

The fighting never should have happened but there’s nothing being done to stop bad behavior from happening at sporting events in the future.

They just going to wait it out until it blows over. Too many things going on.

Or until there’s another fight. This year has been a sh$t show at Churchill this year. Starting day one with Principal Taylor tackling a kid to break up a fight, to the assault and knife incident in the bus loop, to the basketball brawl. Restorative Justice is bs. There needs to be consequences. There also needs to be SROs.

This year has been a sh$t show all over the country this year.

My take is that Mr. Taylor spends so much time looking for Central Office to write his emails and to determine disciplinary actions that there is little he has control of at Churchill.
