[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not idiotic. 
I imagine Langley has zero ms 13 presence.

I don’t think you can say that for Wakefield, but I also don’t think it’s a real concern. It’s more like,
“ my cousin has a friend who runs with MS13”

Not a concern for middle class families.[/quote]

Will Suzie Whitebread at Wakefield get recruited by MS-13?  No.  Will Suzie get intimidated at some point by a kid associated ith a gang?  Quite possibly. [b] Will Suzie get the short end of the stick because her school focuses primarily on the MS-13 members and other students who are frequently truent and at risk of failing the SOLs? [/b] Probably.

Not going to roll those dice.     [/quote]

Are there people who conflate issues with poverty and ESOL on the one hand, with issues involving MS-13? Yes.  Are those people part of the Wakefield community. No. [/quote]

Conflation is different than correlation.  When those in the Wakefield community pretend to ignore the correlation, they will be shot down, and rightly so.  [/quote]

That is not correlation. That is conflation.   You are what you are.  One reason to live in a racially and socioeconomically diverse community, even if it has challenges, is to avoid people like you.  [/quote]

Your rhetoric is no better than your school's test scores. [/quote]
