Tenley Chick Filet takes measures against loitering after school by students, including Wilson

Let's hope that more gentrification in DC solves the bad behavior conundrum. But it won't happen soon enough.

I am the OP and I have not yet been to chic filet, though they gave me a coupon for a sandwich. The takeaway is that there should be more police institutional and community coordination and cooperation to maintain a shared and walkable, shoppable, passthroughable neighborhood. That's the message

We are a mixed race family by the way. My children's grandfather (living)and his wife broke many professional and social barriers, including interracial marriage (AA/white) when it was illegal in many places and they avoided travel through some states. We just want a peaceable neighborhood for our kids. We think we have the right to advocate for that when we see an opportunity for betterment. Shocking I guess.

You have every right to advocate for that. You have zero right to bar "non-familiar faces" from your neighborhood. Your race and your children's grandparents are totally irrelevant.

Lady, wise up. Wilson is a neighborhood school, like all other DCPS schools. No one OOB has an inalienable right to study here, especially if they can't commit to pretty common behavior standards.

Don't like it? Send your kinds to your own neighborhood school.

+1. Well said. This OOB kids should act like they appreciate being at Wilson. It's obviously better than the alternative.

Exactly. They should act like scholars and athletes, not predators and sociopaths.

Put that on your picket sign. OOB's Are Predators and Sociopaths. Stop bitching and make some noise in the real world outside social media and get rid of them.

Like Chick-fil-a, I am implementing a "no dine in" policy for this thread. You can read, but you will have to post elsewhere.
