Please tell me you don't really believe this? Part of learning to deal with life is figuring how to deal with people you don't like or get along with.  Think of bosses, colleagues, in laws, etc.  You can't save every little snowflake from people they don't like, it's part of life!

This is exactly what all the women who became part of the #metoo movement were told. That if they are harassed or abused they should play nice. That's how abusers get away with it!  They say the complaints are due to to personality conflicts or the like.  [/quote]

+1 For victims who speak out, they are treated with retaliation.  On a school sports team, they are suddenly given another position on the team or benched.  They are no longer coached.  They are treated like an outcast. They are told by the coach and school to quit if treatment is so bad.

Are these the lessons we want for our kids?  Stay silent.  Ignore what you see when another child is being mistreated by a coach or teammate?  Suck it up so you can still play the game?

Until Churchill and MCPS fix this type of culture, children will keep getting hurt in their athletic programs.  Many teams at Churchill have this type of culture just like other schools in MCPS are now in the national spotlight because of how bad, bad can get.   Hazing, bullying, and abuse will never be addressed until children are safe from retaliation when they report what they know.[/quote]
