Uhh.. PG county schools didn’t desegregate until the 1970s[/quote]

I went to PG schools in the 70’s and they were absolutely NOT segregated. I would get beat up by my black classmates every couple weeks for being white. [/quote]

Wrong. The federal courts imposed forced bussing to desegregate PG Schools in 1972. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/library/pg/magnets/prince0902.htm[/quote]

Someone who can’t do basic math shouldn’t be smug.

PP says there was racial conflict in their PG school in “the 70s.”   Did you know — and I hope you’re sitting down — “the 70s” includes seven whole years ! after the desegregation rule you cite.

[b]Meaning PP may have been involved in school fights[/b] in, sat, 1977. Which is part of “the 70s.”

They weren’t fights.

It was just me, getting the sh!t kicked out of me, by a dozen black classmates at recess every few weeks. A “fight” would at least imply that I was able to fight back back. That was my childhood for grades 2-6 at Gaywood Elementary School in Seabrook.

The kids who would beat me up were all bussed to this school from Landover.

See? My local school was VERY integrated.
