[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the poster claiming "hysteria" and refusing to believe there are gangs in our schools is terrified.  And it's understandable.  No one want their kids to be in school with violent gang members.  However, hiding your head in the sand won't make it better.  [b]Information is power.  The more we know and understand about gangs in our schools, the better equipped we are to protect ALL of our children. [/b] Sometimes I think parents (and I include myself) with kids at schools that are considered safer, can't handle the reality that maybe ....just maybe....gang members don't care about school attendance zones.  They are going to recruit wherever they can.  They are going to sell drugs in wealthier areas because that's where the money is.  It's tempting to pretend that it doesn't happen in safer communities.  But you are fooling yourself.  There are gangs in MOCO.  There are gangs in DC.  There are gangs in ACPS.  There are gangs in Fairfax.  Hell, there are gangs all the way down in Stafford.  They are in our middle schools because they want to recruit while kids are young.  It's scary.  But sometimes we have to face scary things.[/quote]

That is entirely my point. Let's work to fix the problem by using facts instead of lies and hysteria.

On another thread, I have asked several times for more facts, but other PPs call that disgusting.

These threads are really just breeding grounds for anti-immigrant hatred. Not solving any problems.
