Yup, the kid is toast.

Hate crime? Really? You people are nuts.

Are we sure the father yelled the racial slur and it wasn't just a ringtone on someone's phone? Perhaps one of the other kids was just listening to music?

We aren't sure of anything. There were no details or type of evidence to support anything.

We were thinking of moving to Va for the schools, but I think I'd rather stay in DC now.

Arlington Tops Clinton Vote Margin List — Arlington County, which has the highest percentage of residents with a college degree of any jurisdiction in the U.S. with a population over 50,000, also had the highest increase in vote margin for Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama in 2012. Clinton’s margin of victory in Arlington this year was 20.3 points higher than Obama’s.

Alexandria (also in NoVa) was # 2 on the list.

And yet, we are totally fine with economically segregated schools and neighborhoods. Because WALKABILITY. That is the yuck. Not that one idiot yelled or didn't yell a racial slur. The "yuck" is that we are casually accepting the legacy of de jure segregation, racist housing policy, and exclusionary zoning because we (allegedly) don't want our kids to be forced to use school buses or public transportation. For heavens sake, there are threads here and on ArlNow where people are arguing to prevent playing fields from being lit and property that is ALREADY zoned light industrial from being redeveloped to a use that is consistent with light-industrial zoning because of the "seedy" element that may be inconsistent with their "neighborhood character." Can you hear the dog whistle? I can.

Lady, zip it. One of the least diverse neighborhoods are the one with no walkability.

You are unhinged!

It's hilarious how some people in Arlington want to bring back forced busing. They're so racist -- they see brown kids as such a problem that they have to spread them around.

You are right. Just a racist, crazed father who likes to attack teens.

Or a volunteer who just got tired of dealing with a bully.

We don't know what happened.

PP, you don't know what happened. But you are already placing the blame on the kid.

No, idiot, PP was offering another scenario to underscore that you don't have a clue what actually happened.

No, you, idiot, the PP could have offered any scenario where a normal person would wonder why an adult would interfere in a regular kid fight. But instead, PP's scenario reflects his/her bias. We all know why.

That's cute, but your own bias is showing loud and clear here. Good luck defending your kid's bad behavior.

Between an adult who yells at a kid and a kid, sorry but my bias will be more favorable towards the kid.

I've always been a firm believer that the less diversity a school has the more stuff like this happens. I see it at my nephew's schools out in PW county. They have many instances like the one in this thread.

When you are constantly around kids of all different SES, racial, social backgrounds there is naturally more tolerance and acceptance of those differences. We actively looked for 'good' public schools with at least 20-30% or so diversity. You can find these schools in Arlington---even N. Arlington. My kids have good friends from all kinds of backgrounds. There are many International families. Some FARMS, some rich, some where English isn't a first language. The kids are so much more tolerant. In fact, it's not so much tolerant as they just expect it as normal. They don't even question or think about that so and so's parents don't speak English or they don't live in a house or they don't celebrate Christmas. Yes- you can teach your kids this stuff, but living and being friends with other kids like this is much different. My sticking point when looking at neighborhood schools was I didn't want them surrounded by all rich kids. Mo' $, mo' problems.

thanks for sharing.

Yea?

"Silver successfully called the outcomes in 49 of the 50 states in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, he was named one of The World's 100 Most Influential People by Time in 2009.[5]

In 2010, the FiveThirtyEight blog was licensed for publication by The New York Times.[6][7] In 2012 and 2013, FiveThirtyEight won Webby Awards as the "Best Political Blog" from the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

In the 2012 United States presidential election, Silver correctly predicted the winner of all 50 states and the District of Columbia.[8]

In July 2013, FiveThirtyEight was sold to ESPN, and Silver became its Editor in Chief.[9] The ESPN-owned FiveThirtyEight launched on March 17, 2014. The site focused on a broad range of subjects under the rubric of "data journalism".[10]

Silver's book, The Signal and the Noise, was published in September 2012. It subsequently reached The New York Times best seller list for nonfiction, and was named by Amazon.com as the No. 1 best nonfiction book of 2012.[11] The Signal and the Noise won the 2013 Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science.[12] The book has been translated into nine languages: Chinese (separate editions in traditional and simplified characters), Czech, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and Romanian."

Having earned a bachelor's degree from The University of Chicago in 2000, Silver has since been awarded four honorary doctoral degrees: from Ripon College (2013), The New School (2013), The University of Leuven (2013), and Amherst College (2014).

Nice deflection. That's surely what it is. Except, unless APS finds the land and money to build an elementary school every mile, and a middle and high school every 1.5 miles, and in a location so that no major roads must be crossed, then many of Arlington's children will have to get on a bus to go to school.

MASSIVE RESISTANCE!!!!! ALL MUST WALK to the neighborhood they "belong" in. That's hilarious.

This idiot wants you to cite a "credible" source. You know, like the one that revealed pizzagate.
