Another antisemitic incident at Whitman

[Anonymous]

Can’t be a coincidence that on Tuesday there was a meeting for interested parents to meet with Whitman leadership to discuss his this issue. And a few days later an incident. Same thing happened after the last ever. A few days after a One Whitman event on anti-Semitism the graffiti was found

A possible solution is to diversify the schools so that no race represents more than about 40% of the student body.

Oh please do tell how you have "found" this out. This definitely seems like a rigorous analysis upon which to drive social policy.

It's obvious when you consider the regularity and frequency with which these incidents occur at the W's. Not only that but the more memorable and outrageous incidents like kids in blackface or the N* word cards that show this complete lack of empathy. It isn't by chance these things always happen the segregated schools.

Not all of the W schools.

These incidents haven't been occurring at WJ, but it's also by far the most diverse out of the 3 "W" schools in Bethesda/Potomac (Walter Johnson, Walt Whitman, Winston Churchill).

Although... if you ask the Whitman parents on this board, WJ barely qualifies as being worthy of inclusion in the "W" schools, lol.

It's odd because Whitman has a very large Jewish population. It may be someone essentially trolling for that reason

I wouldn't think so because these incidents are routine at the more segregated schools. A month doesn't go by without a post like this. Seriously, this is no surprise.

What do you think they should be doing about it that they aren't?

I'm speculating, but I would bet they aren't addressing head-on the anti-semitism from people like Kanye or Dave Chappelle.

They see their role models engage in things like that and its not addressed, so they feel comfortable doing the same

Are we in 2009? These are not kids’ role models

This is why I send my kids to private school rather than Whitman, we don’t have these problems.

Be real, of course your school has lots of problems but its kept hidden.

It's a regular thing at the W's. Comes up a couple of times a year despite their attempts to keep it under wraps.

That’s from last March. Seems like things have been quieter on that front this year.

It happens all the time but is swept under the rug.

Just search this board. There's a new post about this happening at a W every couple of months going back years.

Ignore PP. They're a jealous east county progressive with OCD.
