[quote]True, but W parents always look to excuse or sweep their children's terrible behavior under the rug. [/quote]

So true. The parents will do anything to make excuses or sweep the behavior under the rug. If it is indeed the Whitman students who did this, what type of punishment are they receiving?

I was reading the Colby College student newspaper. There was a recent article about how students in marginalized communities were targeted in racist, anti-Semitic, homophobia and transphobia messages on Yik Yak. https://colbyecho.news/2022/12/08/anonymous-hate-speech-targets-marginalized-communities/

The President of Colby said he would do everything in his power to remove the students responsible for the hate speech from the college community.

That got me to thinking - if these indeed were Whitman students who wrote the anti-Semitic messages, they need to face real consequences. Not just a class on diversity. Would it be possible (or is it being done already? I really have no idea) to include character on college recommendations from the counselor? To be kicked out of clubs that say they take character into account ( I remember rolling my eyes at all the kids in get into NHS or NJHS - character counts for those organizations - but the kids are little jerks and don't have character)? Make some on the college recommendation about certain incidents? That is a real consequence.[/quote]

They committed a crime (vandalism) so that's a real consequence. Probably better than what MCPS can dish out too.[/quote]
But what is the consequence? Community Service? Will it go on their records and will colleges be notified about it?[/quote]

It depends on the value of the destruction. It can be up to 3 years in prison, or 60 days if the value is lower. That's the maximum -- a first-time offender probably wouldn't get that.[/quote]
