She could cut that number in half if she just desegregated the W's where most of those incidents seem to occur.

+10000 If she truly wants fewer racist incidents, she should desegregate Ws and BCC. Have magnet arts programs at those schools.

How would *de*segregation decrease racist incidents? Segregation reduces racist incidents by separating perps from victims. Segregation has other problems, of course.

The schools with the highest incidents are segregated. Creating greater diversity at these places will also instill greater empathy and reduce these problems.

MCPS tolerates school segregation to protect the property values and interests of wealthy white and Asian families.

Then it pushes woke narratives of victim and oppressor that accomplish little other than division and PR.

We live in a sick society.

So are you advocating for bussing?

DP. We have busing. MCPS buses well over 100,000 students, twice a day.

McKnight should focus on one of the other pressing issues like Bathroom Safety. I hear that's the biggest problem facing MCPS these days.

To be fair, they are installing vape detectors in bathrooms at 6 MCPS high schools this week, so they're finally starting to pay attention to the issue....

That’s not going to solve the problem. Way back when BCC was a very mixed school. Lots of racial tension, self segregation and fights. Summit Hills and that part of silver spring was very low income.

What EVERYONE is saying is that equity should not be the sole focus of a school county. How is that racist?

There is no such thing as equity and we need individuals needs met. Everyone has different needs.

All the schools are having issues. Those parents are screaming the loudest and bringing attention to it.

Turn them over to the vape police. Is it a crime?

Are you asking if minors vaping is illegal? Is that a serious question?

When I was in HS, we had a smoking area for kids, but that was in VA.
