Most school systems including LCPS used to have separate, stand alone schools for students who had violent or extremely disruptive behaviors. Ten years ago this kid and the one who raped the girl and the bathroom and the one who shot his teacher would have been sent to one, no question. Politicians, taxpayers, and school boards realized these places aren't run for free and decided to stop funding them. Parents could get the pendulum to swing back the other way but it won't be easy. |
They still have them but the standard to send a kid there is much higher than in the past. |
Do you really think there is only one gang-affiliated student in LCPS? |
You are a racist and a lying sack of garbage London county was lies this is why all of the lawsuits were thrown out or lost. You installed youngkin because of lies Republicans are the ones trying to indoctrinate and republicans are responsible for school shootings and moms4 liberty garbage |
Schools have no options. The question to ask is why this student isn't still in the juvenile justice system for carrying a loaded gun to school and threatening a student a mere 18 months ago?
The rate of juvenile incarceration is down 70%. Where do people think those kids are? They are in your public high schools? The money saved should have been spent on providing services, camps, specialized schools, etc. Instead they are just sent back to regular high schools. Schools legally can't do anything. They have to educate ALL students. |
OMGERD!!! MS13 ASSOCIATE!!! SO SCARY!!!
Dude should be disciplined for any crimes but not because he’s an “associate” of a gang. If anything, we want him in school to have better options. |
It’s the only one Nick Minnock has specifically told them about so now they have to perseverate on him |

Which is exactly why illegal immigration does impact schools and communities. |
+1 And the parents who aren't concerned often have their kids tucked safely away in a private school. |
I don’t think anyone disagrees it impacts communities . That doesn’t mean that we have to demonize or criminalize all people who immigrate here without documentation. And it doesn’t mean we make their kids suffer by denying them healthcare services or education. |
I'm willing to bet that most gang-affiliated students are US citizens. |
I’m intrigued by this statement because (probably due to the prevalence of MS-13 in our area) most gang activity I’ve read about seems to be that of immigrants. But I’m open to learning, so please share any sources or data about that. |
WHAT prevalence of MS13?? There is not some massive MS13 presence here , please get off Truth Social or X or whatever bizarre media you’re consuming that has convinced you of this. |
