[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And we are already at more comments in this incident than the thread about another DCPS student that was killed ON CAMPUS. Way to stay true and selfish, DCUM.[/quote]

Weird comment. Unless you are accusing Jeff of removing posts about Roosevelt (I assume you are not) or accusing Jeff of limiting posting to certain people (an anonymous forum with no registration, so I assume you are not), what exactly is the complaint here? It is  shocking to learn that the readership and participation rates on DCUM skew towards W2/3/6 and those (plus certain charter) schools? Is it shocking to you that people care more about things in their backyards and schools than in other neighborhoods and schools? So, yes, the people with kids at JR who are very active on DCUM are more focused on JR than on Roosevelt and other schools.

There are no barriers to entry on DCUM. Anyone can read, anyone can post. Instead of blaming the people with kids at JR for being active and concerned for their kids' safety, maybe look in the mirror and focus your gaze on the Roosevelt parents who seem unconcerned and uninvolved? Assuming you want to stick to your odd complaint that somehow engagement on DCUM is an indicator of concern for individual communities.[/quote]

Of course I’m not accusing Jeff of deleting posts. The point is none of your kids were likely impacted at JR but it’s very clear that you don’t give a crap about a DC kid that was killed at school. You all likely have an All Lives Matter sign in your yard but can’t care enough to give condolences to a kid that lost his live a few miles down the road. You all ward 3 people don’t live in NYC either but can get a thread to 200 pages about a woman and boy in a Citi Bike disagreement. The primary point of what I’m saying is that the study that was done on DCUM a few years back about underlying racism is very much still true today.[/quote]

wtf? this is a post about a fight at Jackson Reed. That’s why people are posting - because they have kids there. DCUM is free. Roosevelt parents can post here about the awful murder there.

that said, I’m positive you would still accuse me of being racist if I posted about juvenile crime in DC as a whole. And I bet you don’t want to know what I think about people who screamed about needing to shut schools due to covid (zero pediatric covid deaths in DC) but say absolutely nothing about juvenile crime victims and perpetrators.
