[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too many bigots, elitists and racists in Bethesda. I choose Mclean[/quote]
That's rich coming from someone who lives in McLean. 
The delusion![/quote]

I can't speak to Mclean, but having grown up in Bethesda, the racism is clear and real. The Bethesda schools, particularly middle and high school, are mostly white. Black students have had not so great experiences there, both from other students but also from teachers, staff, and administration officials. There was quite a bit of pushback from folks in Bethesda when discussions of school boundaries have been brought up. Most of the pushback has been from white residents and, while most aren’t outright racist, they’ve used some pretty racist dog whistles. You can Google past coverage of Board of Education elections as well as coverage on school boundary discussions in Montgomery County to get a feel for how the media covered it all, but there are plenty of students on IG who have made accounts for each school in the district to talk about the racism, homophobia, transphobia etc that they’ve personally experienced. The ones in Bethesda are hard to read sometimes.  [/quote]
