[quote=Anonymous]Does MCPS not have guidance for all HS and MS on what to do if there is heckling that is racist or gendered (separate guidance on both problematic speech by players and the crowd). My guess is that part of the problem was that coaches and athletic staff  were not exactly sure what to do and were having to make up policy decisions on the fly because they weren't sure who exactly made the racist comments. If there is very specific guidance, they need new training.

This is the perfect type of policy that should be set from leadership in central office. If parents don't like it, school staff and administrators can just point the finger at MCPS and tell parents to bring it up to the superintendent. It's a win, win for everyone.

If I were queen, and heckling from the crowd occurred, the game would be paused immediately and the crowd (including parents) must leave the game. Students must leave school grounds immediately, parents of players can go wait in the car.

If a player is engaging in using hate speech (presumably this is much easier to identify the actual perpetrator) then they are ejected from the game immediately and suspended from team practices and games for the season.[/quote]
