Fight at Whitman

I googled and didn’t find anything and it seems odd that there would be something outside the county. She said that most of her classes this year have about 30-35 kids in them.

It’s true.

My DC goes to Whitman and the classes have been about the same size over the last four years. If anything, a lot of students never returned after COVID. There is so much misinformation on this thread about Whitman.

Not a chance I want a search for Moms for Liberty on my search history. They are freakshows.

Because why should well-off kids from nice backgrounds be able to live peacefully huh? They should be forced to live in terror too.

Now you see the end result of supposedly "compassionate" programs. It's really just score settling and old vendettas come to life. Resentment for the achieving and functional class and punishment for their children.

If Whitman parents dont do something about this they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

The facility where many of these troubled teens live has been there for the better part of a century, far longer than the homes most of the "well off kids" you seem to think should own the neighborhood.

Not the case. Their mission and service has expanded over time.

Second, if you look at the cluster map, the surrounding homes path to WJ, not Whitman.
For whatever reason...this site is annexed in.

No, it hasn’t. It’s been there forever.

2 of the 3 suspects are from Greentree. The other one lives in Bethesda. None of them are from Baltimore.
The victim that was attacked got accidentally involved with the first suspect who assaulted him because he was vaping in the bathroom.
So while he never should have been assaulted, he also should not have vape products on him at school and be vaping in the bathroom either.

So the victim was vaping, and he was attacked for vaping or because they wanted to steal the vape?

One of the aggressors borrowed his vape pen earlier, the victim wanted it back, they arranged to meet in the bathroom.

So Whitman is failing in both holding violent kids accountable and not tolerating substance use in its school buildings. MCPS is a complete failure.

They should just change the rules so that vapers are allowed to beat each other up in the bathrooms.

All the school has to do is get rid of the 4%ers

What role would an SRO have played if any in this situation?

Sounds more like London than moco.

This incident is a terrible one, but the fact that you think this should make national headlines shows just how privileged and sheltered you are.

Do you live in a war zone, PP?!
