I do travel through Four Corners (where Blair is located) everyday.  Last year, for example, I saw police activity in and around the school that I found disconcerting.  On one ocassion there were cruisers near the Seven Eleven bust stop, near the church etc.  I wondered if they had gang problems-----for the record, I DO NOT KNOW.

Now, my child will attend Blair one way or the other.  But, I don't want to portray Blair as a school like the vaunted "W" schools.  It is a very different school and not even the principal lives in the area.  From what I know, Johnson lives in Columbia and her kids went to school there.

Let us be truthful to those out there, Blair and its sister schools are quite different.  [/quote]

Nobody has compared Blair to the W schools so far - until you just did.

MoCo police have a rotating presence at most MoCo public schools, and this was stepped up after Sandy Hook. That probably explains at least some of the police cruisers you've seen. I know of one drug bust at the school over the last year and doubtless there have been more. Although we live elsewhere, I do also know lots of middle class families who live happily and safely in the four corners area.

The whole "white flight from Blair/Silver Spring" argument relies on insinuating that Blair and Silver Spring are outposts of Columbian drug cartels. This is patently wrong, so let's not go there.[/quote]

I wish you so called Blair defenders will keep quiet.  You just bring up things that are just not even intended to be considered.

The police presence was due to a big fight that took place and spilled on to University Blvd.  It had nothing to do with Sandy Hook.  I know families that live happily in that area as well.  That does not detract from the reality of what we see.

That was an overeraction to a reasonable response to your white flight crap and your weird logic. I'll be unreasonable: you sound like a nasty bigot.[/quote]
