When a Black student uses the N word during a fight with a Black student, is that considered hate speech?

There’s been a series of anti-Black incidents at Wootton that the principal, Doug Nelson, has not reported and failed to act on. There is an anti-Black culture that has been allowed to fester his leadership.

That’s how they’re connected.

Nelson turned a blind-eye to racist because he’s racist. He going to be fired. Too bad so many people had to suffer under his “leadership”.

Huge loss to Northwood and the Silver Spring community. Very respected former teacher at SSIMS. There was some hope he would get Blair.

Big pickup for Wootton.

So who's going to be the acting principal at Northwood then? Bostic was supposed to be running the school for the next 2 months as principal intern, while Garrick was at Einstein supporting its principal intern.

Garrick is probably going back to Northwood and someone else will support Einstein. Strange that wasn’t made clear.

It said they will identify an "acting principal" - it didn't say that Garrick would come back.

Northwood letter says they will work with Dr. Garrick to find an acting assistant principal (not principal). I think it is implied Garrick is back at Northwood although they should have been clearer on that.

Maybe Dr. Fine who was supposed to be visiting principal at Northwood will now move over to Einstein.

Yup, this is what is happening. Just got the letter from Einstein.

Bostic: Northwood to Wootton
Garrick: Einstein to Northwood
Fine: Northwood to Einstein

Dr. Bostic is too good for Wootton. They don’t deserve him. What a horrible thing to do to put him in such a hostile racist environment not to mention he’s already a beloved member of the Gladiator community. This is a massive loss for Northwood.

I thought there was an earlier letter where Moran said he himself would be taking charge of the school temporarily.

Nope

Here it is:

https://mocoshow.com/2024/12/06/letter-sent-to-wootton-community-addressing-racist-incident-at-school/

"The superintendent has asked me to supervise activities and operations at Wootton High School for the next several days."

They never said anything about the principal not being there, going on leave then, not until today. and still have not said any reasons why the principal is on leave. This guy wasn’t even on campus. Nothing coming from the vice principals. Nothing from counselors. This whole thing is embarrassing.

A black kid putting the n word on a random desk now means the entire student body of 2200 kids and their families are now a hostile racist environment? I mean come on now.

This same thing can be played out in any high school in Montgomery county.

If Bostic was supposed to have a visiting principal supporting him at Northwood, will he have one at Wootton?

Most Northwood parents knew he would become a principal somewhere else because no one wants Dr. Garrick gone. That would be devastating. But we all thought he would be selected for another impacted school. We all hoped at least in the DCC.

The students said this isn’t the first, second or even third time anti-Black incidents have drawn what they consider to be an inadequate response at Wootton. Michael Williams, a social studies teacher at Rockville High School and co-county coordinator of the Minority Scholars Program, said there’s been a pattern of anti-Black racist incidents that have occurred over the past two years at Wootton. 

“There’s actually been a few incidences that have already occurred this year, so it’s very infuriating and demoralizing to see this pattern continue,” Williams told MoCo360 on Sunday.

Ok yet how can a Rockville High school teacher say this - that multiple incidences have happened this year in Wootton, yet no one has said them, mentioned them, or are even currently for news articles, being specific with what these incidences are. If you are going to start saying all of this stuff and bringing it in the news, top county administrations, crisis counselors and pulling kids out of class time for culture learning events, shouldn't the parents and students at Wootton know about all of these accusations spefcically instead of a general statement with no backup? I am a parent and I know none of these things. One letter about the printer incident last year, one letter about the desk last week, a quick text on Monday morning 20min before school started that said all of these crisis counselors and staff will be there supporting kids all day. I thought someone died and was so confused because no email was ever mentioned as to why this was happening. Then a county email about the substitute incident at 5pm last night. Not one thing about our principal. None. If he was put on leave, the school's families have not been notified. And in none of those letters did they talk about if the student was found out, what the discipline was, what is happening to the substitute (shouldn't they have said immediately fired?) So I guess I am having issues with the media trying to overtake this without any back-up on actual recurring incidences (state them!), or any consequences for the kids that did this. And most of the kids are rumbling/gossipping that the kid who vandalized the desk is black. So how does that fit into the anti-black narrative they are creating if this was the only incident that families know of for this year? Overall it has been handled so poorly. I understand they have to keep minors names private but at least say, we have the person, they are being disciplined. We fired the substitute, we put the principal on leave for XYZ reasons. If anyone is accused again, this will be the course of action the school takes, etc... Instead the entire school is being punished for 1 person who did a terrible thing and a substitute teacher that the county hired. Families are completely in the dark about this. Let us know all of these incidences that have happened this year. Let us know why the media is saying the principal is gone, but families were not notified. Otherwise this looks terrible on all sides.

You just described exactly why he is on leave. Incidents happen and they aren’t reported or they’re minimized. My son is a junior and he has been complaining about incidents for years. Both anti-Semitic and racist incidents. If an incident is brought to the administration, it needs to be promptly addressed openly.

As a parent, we have not even been notified the principal is on leave or fired or that there is an interim principal coming in. So this is all concerning.

I too want to know what incidences that the media is saying happened this year that caused this. To just say well he is being put on leave because of multiple things this year? Why so vague?

Check your spam folder. As a Wootton parent, I’ve received multiple emails that are coming from MCPS
