You're new to trolling, aren't you?


What he says is still true, though. Callous? Absolutely. But true nonetheless.


Well then why not wipe out all the children? Huge savings.


Are you really in denial about this? We need kids to carry on society when we’re too old to do it ourselves. The same isn’t true for the elderly. They previously contributed to society, but become a bigger and bigger drain on society as they get older. Everyone over 65 could die tomorrow and society would continue just fine, with more resources available to younger generations. But everyone under 18 dying would lead to societal collapse in the future.

Yes, it is callous to think this way. But it’s true.


Please stop responding to this person people. That is what they want.


I understand. But do people really think that way? Do they not realize that kids are more important to the future than the elderly? And in particular, why has mcps been putting the interests of the elderly ahead of the interests of students?


Most of us realize that it's not a zero sum deathwatch where we have to sacrifice one in the other. But then again, we didn't grow up selling ourselves on the streets of Minsk as you did, PP. Bless your heart, it's really not your fault you've had such a rough life. I sure hope this troll farm gig lifts your family out of poverty and perdition.

You're in my thoughts.


Glad you agree we shouldn’t be approaching this a zero sum game. We don’t need to harm kids for the benefit of the elderly. Everyone can win by keeping kids in school and helping the elderly to self-isolate.


If only you believed that, but multi generational households escape your attention, and you're opting your kids out of testing and let's face it, two weeks ago you were demanding the mask mandate be lifted in schools.. we know your schtick, Svetlana. It never changes.


No, I haven’t said mcps should lift its mask mandate. I don’t really care about masks.

If multigenerational households are really the problem for schools, then the county should be stepping in to provide alternative housing for those seniors. There wouldn’t be very many elderly people in a situation where they’d feel a need to isolate from kids. Earlier in the pandemic there was some emergency housing for healthcare workers trying to isolate from their families. We can do that again, but for the elderly.


That is one of the most irrational things you've said yet, Svetlana.


Hey - I get it. Camps! That person is talking about sending the elderly to useless old people Camps! You know, for their protection.

Maybe they can use the MCPS busses to send them there? Maybe play a little violin music? Get them to do some work while they're there? A little "Arbeit Mact Frei" action to prove they're healthy enough for release? And if, God forbid, they do get sick and pass on, at least all the bodies are centrally located for disposal.

(Yes, if you couldn't tell - I do hope you rot in Hell!)

Again, you know healthcare workers did this during the early spike before the vaccines, right? What was it Ok for them but it wouldn’t be Ok to provide this an an option for the elderly to protect themselves?

WTF???? And it’s Dr. McKnight. God, DCUM makes me lose brain cells sometimes. Is this an adult forum or a first grade classroom - oh wait, first graders are even more mature.

New poster here. Just checking..since you mentioned Minsk..are we no longer calling posters Russian trolls? Are we onto Belorussian trolls now? I am just wondering when this happened? Is Lukashenko interested in MCPS?

Why should I call her by her title? Her name is Monifa and I can call her whatever the hell I want. I am actually being polite here...there are other words I would like to use right now. MCPS is screwed under her lack of leadership.

The PhD’s in this county are about as smart as high school dropouts, so titles don’t really mean much in the eyes of the majority of us.

And since it is not a part of her name or official job title no one is obligated to call her “Doctor”.

Acting Superintendent McKnight - yes
Ms. McKnight - yes
Monifa - yes
Doctor McKnight - no

This female PhD only calls MDs "doctor" in a Healthcare setting. Those demanding the title elsewhere are ridiculous

In education, it’s respectful to call anyone with a PhD as a Doctor. To refuse to do so, you come across as an ignorant buffoon.
