Girl Raped at Rockville HS

[Anonymous]

Agree, the County/State accepted lots of refugees/immigrants over this past year alone and they are all over Bethesda and the W cluster. Stop thinking this part of the Country is protected, because they aren't

We had gang fights weekly at my former HS. They often happened by my room, as it connected our wing to ESOL. Those who had "established" themselves by pissing on their territory resented anyone new coming into town. So the gang warfare that started in the 'hood continued in the school.

fun times

During that time, my daughter was in private b/c we lived in the area.

We've since moved, and she's in public. so far so good - But once the schools can no longer handle a growing population of challenging kids b/c the state prevents us from disciplining kids, both of my kids will go to private.

I will teach in the roughest schools, but i will not use my kids as guinea pigs to prove any point.

This is the shocking thing - the number of Public school teachers sending their own kids to private. I was thinking of moving to Rockville - so much for that.

Another MCPS teacher here, I won't name the school or area, but my children are in private school. But, I cannot afford Potomac, Bethesda or any other $600,000 home. DH and I would rather spend money on experience/education than fancy things (houses, cars. etc.) I absolutely believe that all children deserve a quality education. It's why I am still teaching in MCPS rather than going to private. With that being said, I will NOT allow my children to be a social experiment. MoCo parents have been sheeple (sheep people), I may get a lot of flack for this, and I don't care! The middle class has been led, by the affluent in the county to accept "diversity from poverty stricken places". Yet, these same people buy into the wealthiest areas possible or send their children to private school. Leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves against the county board and politics. Before you get off on your liberal high horse and gallop off into Liberal Land, I am Black. I appreciate diversity and believe diversity is important, however, as other pp's have said, you can enroll in a public high school as long as you are 19 and under. I have had 18-19 yr old students in the ninth grade. Their parents pay coyotes to help them across the border to come to America for the opportunity. Unfortunately, while their parents are scraping by for opportunities for their children, the children could care less. I have had children from South American countries tell me: "I don't know why I'm here, I miss being in my country and I'm fine with joining a gang."

So what do these children do when they reach MoCo with limited school experience and English? They find people who think like them and join the gangs that they would have joined back in their home country. I don't agree that we should just take the younger children. I believe that would tear many families apart, instead, we need to deport families together and allow them to apply legally to be here as a family, just like my Ethiopian, Somalian, Caribbean, Tawainese and other Asiatic students. Families build strong communities, broken families equal broken communities. No amount of schooling, non-profits, churches or wrap around services can fix that.

Word. Thank you.

Not so true any longer, I know a lot of people think this is true but I invite you to come to that area one morning and witness the number of children at Apartment and Condo bus stops that weren't there just two years ago. There is more low income housing and government subsidized housing in those areas than you are aware, it is just hidden better. This hasn't happened at a W school yet, but it most likely will given the change I have seen in the student body.

Please show me the low income housing in the Whitman Cluster, Wooten or Churchill to......

This could have happened at any school and does. There are reports of sexual assaults at the W schools as well. It has far less to do with immigration and far more to do with we need more funding and better security for our schools.

This is not about 'not being white'. You are projecting your own prejudice here.

This. Let's stop pretending that the correlation between Central American immigrants and the rise of MS-13 here is a mystery. It's not racist, it's a fact, and pretending the issue away will not reduce crime rates. Also, statistically, the victim was likely of minority race and she deserves as much outrage as if this had happened at a W school.

Exactly. She likely was Latina. And what if it's discovered that her family is illegal? I can just here Trump saying, "We should not pay for her to recover in this country." It is so f*#^*d up. Obama would have deported and it would not have even made the papers.

I meant Obama would have deported the boys and gotten services for the girls and it would not have even made the news.

I wish my DC had a teacher like you. Thank you for your candor.

Every last one of them (including anchor babies) need to be kicked the hell out once and for all.

Right because Obama was the transparent administration. No he would have hidden this under the mental illness category and the girl would have been screwed. I am only sorry Trump was not able to deport this monster before this happened.

Not so true any longer, I know a lot of people think this is true but I invite you to come to that area one morning and witness the number of children at Apartment and Condo bus stops that weren't there just two years ago.

Please show me the low income housing in the Whitman Cluster, Wooten or Churchill to......

Too name few, the apartment complex on Westbard next to the one that was built for the AU students. Only now the one built for the AU students is being occupied more and more with vouchers. Bradely and Little Falls, apartment community near the pool, low income. Westbard redevelopment slated for a 200 unit low income facility. Just a few. And along Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, there are several "group" houses scattered in the neighborhood across from the YMCA housing the refugee program of Obama. Just to name a few.

And lets not forget the low income housing built along seven locks road where the obviously "not wealthy" town homes are, I personally have delivered many care baskets to new immigrant families to that community. Point is there are everywhere, Leggett doesn't discriminate when it comes to those communities and it was in fact a plan put in place by Obama and HUD to move voucher families into these higher end communities. Look it up, educate yourself.

And the amendment needs to be made to do away with the border baby crap. You should not be allowed to come here as a non citizen and drop a baby. It's not right.

Exactly. And once they redistrict Whitman. Next year or so and it's done - or after council / BoE elections. Just watch. Denied for years, now openly discussed by some officials - or discussed with citizen activists.

Yes, if you happen to venture into one of these areas, go into the drug stores and grocery stores and see how much stuff is now on security lockdown like deodorant and baby formula, for example. These communities have changed as well, you just don't see it like the residents do.

Yes, if Leggett hasn't tried to still the one ambulance we have on Mass Ave (for our seniors on fixed incomes) and move it to Wheaton to better serve the latina community, he has made not secret that he supports redistricting around Whitman as does the Council. We have fought Leggett practically every year to let us keep our dam ambulance because our seniors cannot afford a 300.00 fee just because they live in the W cluster. That's what most don't get, W cluster doesn't mean wealthy, not for all, if not more most.
