It's gone national.  Congrats to Churchill.

The media is desperate for stupid stories, especially now that Smollett's hoax became apparent.[/quote]
The  media reports stories of stupid things that people do.[/quote]

Yes but a very biased way.

For example, while they are reporting this little thing they are ignoring most of yesterday's murders, which disproportionally are committed by black perps and with consequences a tad more serious than a stupid drawing somewhere, especially for the children killed.[/quote]
Well, Rs like to ignore that 8 children a day die by guns, so I guess Rs are just like the media then.

BTW when there was a fight at Churchill years ago and parents raised concerns, the [b]Principal told the parents not worry because it was black on black crime. [/b] Looks like some other people in Churchill like to ignore any black crime.[/quote]

Did this really happen?  We're a black family that lived in the neighborhood, but chose to move to a more diverse area closer in before kids were school age.  That doesn't sound like a very welcoming environment, to say the least.[/quote]

[b]There are lots of groups that have to face an unwelcoming environment on a daily basis at Churchill.[/b]

Churchill has a large Special Education population because of its Bridge program.  How inclusive is the school when it comes to meeting the needs of Special Education students in the  least restricted environment?  How often are children targeted based on the nature of their disability not only by the bullying by students but also via ignorance and insensitive comments by staff. How welcomed do these students feel in their school?

My children have experienced discrimination and bullying that made them at times to not want to go to school.  Problems started at Hoover then quickly escalated at Churchill.  The cyber bullying which included a death threat was evidence we brought to the principal. No apologies were given and no plans were made to support change so other students wouldn't experience the same treatment. [/quote]

Sexual harassment was reported but not fixed within the school, much like how the problem was reported and ignored at Blair HS.  If you have a daughter at Churchill, you should really have a heart to heart regarding the language and treatment she has experienced especially by creepy men who have no business working with children.

Its sad that MCPS teaches girls to accept sexual harassment so they are not denied educational opportunities.  Its sad that girls are taught by the adults that their appearance matters more for success than their abilities and effort.  It sad that administrators treat students who come forward to report such acts as unwanted in the school.  Of course, its sad that such students are threatened with retaliation to the point many (but not all) have stayed silent.[/quote]
