I really doubt that legally MCPS can append a "hate speech" label to disciplinary actions on a high school transcript that is sent to colleges.

'Permanent record' isn't the transcript. It's an internal record so that counselors/vice principals can identify a pattern of behavior. If the same issue arises in different settings/different years, they'll be better able to spot it this way.

Oh, I see. Well, I think anything placed on the permanent record should be primarily patterns of physical violence, and threats of same!!!

Students like the ones who raped others with brooms in the Damascus high school locker room should have been flagged coming into the school if they had had any prior incidents of violence, or threatening speech.

THIS is what we need. Hate speech, OK, but it's not the tippy top priority here.

I had a kid yell “shut up” to another kid because he was actually standing and texting the Pledge of Allegiance unlike the rest of his peers.

I heard a kid yell "Chicken butt!"
Is that hate speech?

Very offensive to chickens.

This. The credulousness here almost beggars belief.

The Damascus thing was a multi year hazing tradition. It wasn't brought to the school by the kids, it was brought to the kids by the self-perpetuating cycle of violence in the school.
