"VERBAL REPORT: All hate-bias incidents must be reported to the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD)"

It’s not a hate-bias incident. [/quote]

Of course it is. Middle school kids know exactly what they are doing [/quote]

It’s *obviously* not a crime. There is zero evidence of crime. You don’t report non-crimes to the police. False reports ARE crimes. This is a school discipline issue. [/quote]

It doesn't have to be a crime. Read the linked document. It specifically says hate-bias [i]incidents [/i] must be reported to the police. If you don't like that, feel free to submit testimony at the next BOE meeting.[/quote]

Yeah I read that - that is why it’s so absurd. That was the whole point. And reporting a non-crime is not something I would do, principal or not. The other point is that the principal is certainly not reporting ALL “hate-bias” incidents. Just the ones by white kids.

Falsely reporting someone to the police - I hope these kids parents sue MCPS and the school. [/quote]

Please, explain how it is justified to report non-crimes to the police, in your world view.[/quote]

How about the Montgomery County Police Department's world view?

It says right there - there has to be an underlying crime. Words alone are not a crime even if “hateful.” Especially when they were never directed towards a protected class person. Come on people, this is basic stuff. [/quote]

In school, it is now hate incidents, not just crime. Why? Because it isn’t up to a principal to devise what is considered a crime/threat and what isn’t. Come on people. This is basic stuff. [/quote]

I look forward to the regular phone calls for the kids who yell the N word and Fagg$t as they walk through the school hallways.  Happens all the time and have never heard of the police being called.  Each of those incidents should be considered hate ‘incidents’ and the police can investigate.  It’s what MCPS wants.  [/quote]

I don't disagree with you but it's a lot harder prove when those things happen vs. a slideshow on an MCPS computer.[/quote]
