[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the high school I teach at we have had one incident.  The principal made an announcement but that is it.

Honestly, I think it is better to not give more attention to the issue.  If we make a big deal about it, I think it would actually encourage kids to mess around more as an act of rebellion.

There is a huge lack of boundaries in school right now, so kids are doing more extreme acts in order to rebel and stand out.[/quote]

Would you say it was just kids messing around if they were targeting black people or Hispanics or really any other minority?

Describing it this way really minimizes what is going on. These kids know what they’re doing.[/quote]

Wondering if this attention has been somewhat counterproductive, possibly leading to increased incidents? Similar to why media doesn’t report the names of shooters, to discourage copycats from seeking fame in this way. [/quote]

So should we ignore all hate crimes? Or just the ones against Jews.[/quote]

Not drawing more attention than necessary is not the same as ignoring all hate crimes. [/quote]

As a Jew, I’m really disturbed by your approach to this. [/quote] face it. People only care about antisemitism if it comes from the right. [/quote]

I've received 3 emails from MCPS on this topic in the last two weeks and there have been at least a dozen local news stories. Tell me again about "no one cares." [/quote] if it were anti black or anti hispanic in nature it would have been national headlines and punishing the culprits wouldn’t have been ruled out [/quote]

Well that's crazy because her statement directly said that this is how they would proceed for any incidents of hate or bias against any group.[/quote]

That’s not how it plays out though and you know it.[/quote]
