[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Latin parent who completely supports the school's decision.  In this electronic age, this fraudulent threatening email could follow the student victim like a cloud due to his ethnicity, causing serious and lasting scrutiny for the student and their family.  The prank email went into cyberspace to more than 500 addresses.  The expulsion decision is arguably less harmful to the two students than the potential damaging implications to their victim. It no doubt was an extremely agonizing decision for the school and all involved.  One of the school's core values is that "Words Matter"-- this decision, painful as it is, has reinforced that lesson to the entire school community.[/quote]

I've been told by another parent that one of the boys had been accepted to Princeton on a full-ride. I wonder if the offer will be rescinded. Ugh, I am sorry for all the boys involved. I remember my prankster days and the pulling of the fire alarm. And yes, I understand it's a different world that our children are navigating through. [/quote]

I really doubt this because Washington Latin does not exactly send students to schools like Princeton. Have you checked out their list of college acceptances?  http://latinpcs.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/WLPCS-College-Acceptances-2015.pdf

Perhaps they meant Prince George's County Community College, which is represented.

I'm all for expelling the students, and it's all too convenient to pretend that they had a full ride to Princeton but their lives were ruined. Give me a break. [/quote]
