[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m disheartened that this post has 4 times as many posts as the kid that got killed last week on DCPS site during the school day. But we really know what’s top of mind for Liberal, Rainbow flags, All are Welcome, Believe Science, BLM Ward 3 folks - the possibility of being zoned out of a white plurality school! Gotta love it.

I noticed that imbalance too.  However, I think the problem with the shootings is that there is nothing left to say and there is no point to argue about.  The shootings are horrible, awful, unacceptable.  Guns should be illegal, legal consequences should be higher, social supports should be better (but what, when, and how?).  And the people who need to get their thinking straight on this are not on tjis forum and mostly are not in DC.  And the rest of us are helpless.

So we debate problems with less clear answers but more clarity as to hiw we fit in the puzzle.[/quote]

I appreciate your response. Just because we feel helpless doesn’t mean we could t debate what we should be doing and exactly what each council member thinks and their stance. We can debate how much security should be outside of schools, not just metal detectors. There’s a lot we can discuss that runs parallel to re-zoning but when it doesn’t affect one personally, people have intentional blinders on. The same people that are shouting BLM are the same ones turning a blind eye when brown lives are being taken at school.

Case in point, the shooting near JR that caused a temporary lock down in Nov had 7 pages of comments in 4 hours.

Not to mention the shooting at Burke that didn’t result in any students being killed. [/quote]
