[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone suspecting students at Whitman? Vandals don’t typically sh** where they live. If it’s students, I doubt they’re from Whitman. The Whitman hate runs deep on these threads.[/quote]
They are almost always Pyle or Whitman students.[/quote]

Where’s your proof of that? Just a lot of toxic speculation that is deeply unfair to Whitman students, all of whom were victimized by this hate crime.[/quote]

Why would someone have driven from somewhere else to scrawl some generic hate screed on the Whitman sign? Also, not sure I agree that ALL Whitman students were victimized by this crime... I'm sure there are plenty of them on whom it had absolutely no effect. I agree there's a lot of speculation here, but generally speaking, this sort of dumb vandalism usually is committed by someone nearby. Doesn't seem unreasonable to think this likely was, too.[/quote]

I don’t find your analysis convincing.  People drive to synagogues to deface them.  Whitman probably has one of the highest rates of Jewish students in the county so it would not totally surprise me if an anti-Semite that wanted to target a public school picked them.  I really don’t know what happened but I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume Whitman students because it’s at Whitman.  We live in an adjacent cluster and there are so many Jewish families and I don’t perceive any sort of wide spread anti-semitism.  The kids may have issues but accepting religious difference is not among them.  It’s a very religiously diverse area.[/quote]

Despite it being diverse, Judaism has never been within favor anywhere, especially MCPS.  The only reason we get off holidays is too many teachers take off and not enough subs.  It's been an ongoing issue for many years.  MCPS does not do enough education on religious tolerance, just their pet projects.[/quote]
