ACPS - Minnie Howard Fight and activity at Bradlee shopping

[Anonymous]

I find it incredibly sad and pathetic that not a single school board member has made any sort of statement to their constituents. It's so cold and callus and inconsistent. Many are very quick to make statements about other issues but not the rape cover up or the fights.

Booz and Elnoubi's objections to Hutchings' directive for silence was just performative and I suppose the others simply aren't brave enough to publicly support students' right to be safe in schools. Why does Hutchings still have so much power over them?

First rule of fight club, don’t talk about fight club…. The ACPS / Alexandria Democratic establishment seem to following this mantra to the letter.

Perfect summary except that you forgot to include parents in that list.

Parents have a problem with a rape cover up at Minnie Howard. Why would they show up because of a fight?

Correction: ACPS parents didn't have a problem with a rape cover up

Because she was Hispnac. Underneath it all, the rich white moms are racist af.

I can promise you that if the girl raped had been fom Rosemont, the national guard would have been called in.

Absolutely accurate! The reason there is no apparent outcry from parents is that white parents believe that these are issues that won’t touch their kids bc they are white and they don’t associate with “those kind of kids”

When non white parents complain they are placated and even when they do speak up people say oh that’s terrible and yet do nothing

But yes as soon as something happens to a white kid the outcry will be massive and changes immediate. Sad but true

These comments are absolutely, rediculous, hateful and false. Every parent I know is angry about what happened. Why wouldn't they be? The city and high school covered it up. There was outcry. The superintendent is now gone. No one wants that to happen to a child. Also I had idea the color of the victims skin. Why does this matter. PP You are just awful.

I'm not sure if you're referencing the rape cover up or the recent fight(s) or the murder at Bradlee but there wasn't an outcry. One parent showed up to the school board meeting after the rape cover up was exposed. Zero parents showed up at the school board meeting last week. While I hope parents show up at the next meeting this week, I doubt it.

Posting something on social media or tut tutting at pick up isn't an outcry. I don't doubt that people were upset with any of the horrific events because that would make them absolute monsters. But there wasn't an outcry. To date, not a single PTA has even commented on any of this.

I do wonder what it will take to get parents to take some sort of action.

PP where is your info coming from? How do you know there weren't parents at the meeting? We're you there? Do you mean physically in the room or only participating in public comments? The meetings are live and recorded over zoom as well. How do you know that there were no parents paying attention through zoom. Do you know the amount of letters that were sent to school board inboxes. No, you don't. So how can you actually make this statement?!
