Video clip from Fox about an MCPS MS and it's appalling conditions. Reminds of some of the stuff we see from Baltimore! Hope the media attention helps.

Proud of these kids for taking matters into their own hands.

I coach softball and we had evening practices at the school. Last year there was a late field trip that got in and kids were still on buses as we carried gear to the field. There was one boy yelling at me from his bus window, 'Hey cracker! Hey cracker cracker! F*ck you cracker!"

That was nice.

Glad my kid isn't there.

I don't see the hundreds of parents from Cabin Branch who were so deeply concerned about the condition of Neelsville MS during the upcounty boundary study. Were they at the county council hearing too?

Yes they were. What's your point?

Cool story.

If it was a white kid calling a black or Hispanic person a derogatory name it wouldn't be a cool story would it?

A lot of the MCPS middle schools are very run down and need torn down but its not going to happen given what's going on and only the absolutely worst schools needing condemned are going to happen.

OP: Here is a TV news story about capital funding for the Neelsville MS building.
PP's response: Here is something that happened to me this one time when I was at the Neelsville MS facilities.

So would you prefer "Off topic, bro"?

They were? From the TV news story, it looked like fewer than 10 adults advocating for Neelsville MS. That's what I heard from a friend who attended the hearing, too.

NP. I have never heard an actual live black person (not a fictional character) call a white person cracker. Ever. And I’m almost 50. Sadly, I have heard a lot of black children and adults called the N word by real life white people.

Can you all stick to the topic? We are humoring the rich sides of towns with hundreds of thousands of dollars in studies and not even doing basic repairs to the school. At a minimum that school needs a new roof, cleaned up, new ceiling tiles and made ADA compliant.

It looks nice to me. No idea what they're complaining about.

Perfect, then send your child there.
