[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pot, you are calling the kettle black.  I think you need to look in the mirror!

Many of us in the WJ suburbs, including our family, don't care about your socioeconomic status, who you love, or the color of your skin.  As long as you are kind people with a good moral compass and raising decent kids, no one gives a flying f*** about those things you seem so worried about.[/quote]

So people there don't really care but they just happen to pay hundreds of thousands more for a home in an area to ensure their children attend a segregated school?[/quote]

It's a lovely day, PP. Why don't you go outside and enjoy it, instead of staying inside to pick fights with anonymous posters about reasons people might buy a house in Bethesda?

And before you pick a fight with me: DCUM thinks my kid's schools are in Ganglandia.[/quote]

Well you don’t pay for a “good” school district if you are so blasé about the SES of your child’s classmates. [/quote]

And given that there have been 0 gang related incidents at. any MCPS school in years that's just fearmongering.[/quote]
How many have there been on school grounds or involving kids at those schools?  Quite a few.   Just because no one has been murdered during Algebra doesn't make schools with a gang problem safe.  MCPD has an MCPS gang taskforce that monitors a handful of schools.[/quote]

According to the county there have been zero incidents in years so the rest seems like fearmongering but I have read about the drug busts at Churchill so guess that could be gang related.[/quote]

A quick Google search turns these up.

So, the first link is about a horrible crime, not gang related at all. A 19 year-old soon-to-be-father stabbed his pregnant girlfriend because he was overwhelmed by the prospect of parenting. That's absolutely awful, but has nothing to do wtih gangs.

The second and fourth links are the same crime, which happened in Virginia involving Virgina residents and the only link to MCPS was that the victim (not the perpetrator) had at one point been an MCPS student.

The third is about gang violence in general, but not about MCPS.

All of this is terrible, but none of it proves any sort of a point about gangs in MCPS schools. [/quote]
