[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any call for decriminalization to be repealed is a fringe position far removed from the mainstream. That is clear from the current primary.[/quote]

The current primary also shows us that any Democrat with means sends their kids to private schools.  Meanwhile, they experiment on our kids with their dystopian social policies in a shameless attempt to out woke each other.  The lack of enforcement in DCPS is a main reason why almost all middle class AA parents will never send their kids to public.  No way they are going to let DCPS undue a lifetime of hard work and sacrifice with their ridiculous look the other way policies on drugs, fighting, and attendance.  [/quote]

Trust me- while fighting and attendance are less of an issue at privates, drug use is just as prevalent, if not more so. [b]White middle class kids have ALWAYS engaged with drugs and drinking at earlier ages than other demographics[/b]. [/quote]

Where the heck are you getting that from?  I’m white and middle class and my husband is black and grew up lower middle class and from his stories there was way more drug use at his high school and Junior high than at mine.

Mostly from my own experience as a DC native who went to school with 99% black kids until I went to college. We knew not to even think about weed or drinking if we didn’t want to “get tore up from the floor up.” I remember seeing weed for the first time at an away game at Good Counsel. I remember it being the talk of our school for weeks. I went to a highly regarded PWI for college and was blown away at how the white kids were already very familiar with binge drinking and smoking weed. They did things I never even knew people did like robo-tripping and forcing themselves to stay up on sleeping pills because it was “trippy.” My roommate was eating shrooms on her sandwiches before class. It was a culture shock for me without a doubt. It was eye-opening though! It was my first true understanding of privilege.[/quote]
