I agree. His attempt to cover this up, alone, is enough to get rid of him. He can't be trusted.


cover it up? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I appreciate him not taking the easy path. It's hard to stand in front of a group of angry, frightened, folks and say "We are doing our best, and working within the law," but that's exactly what I want him to do.

Thanks, Jack, but you're toast. Cheers!


I really wonder how many of the anti-JS posts (Jeff?) are from one or two people. It's nothing at all like how the MCPS community feels, both about the incident or about him personally.

events, you know exactly what is was and so does he. it was rape, rape vaginally, anally, then forced to perform oral sex on them both.

Really? an event? an event is back to school night.

Jack Smith is probably now trying to suck up to the outstanding Asian community who is very vocal about cracking down on the illegal invasion of our schools.

The Asian community has worked long and hard for a good education here, and isn't willing to throw it down the gutter to the incompetent PC politicians and school board.

What's wrong with Caderock Springs, lovely school with a motivated base. I would imagine New Hampshire estates is the least diverse school in the county.


nothing is wrong with it but with a crisis going on like there is, you would think the Sup would be there not at the least diverse school in the county. If you are trying to say New Hampshire Estates is less diverse because of the overwhelming Hispanic population vs the 5% farms at CES you have you are the exact parent they are looking for to have your kids attend CES.

Well said.


Another who works with him a bit, was skeptical at first, and now agrees he is refreshing, thoughtful and brilliant. Those slamming him would slam whoever is in his position, and he's often says he doesn't enjoy the political aspect of the job and who could blame him.

This kid is a thug, and the responsibility for the crime lies with him alone.

Wonder why it is the least diverse? Is it a school that has predominantly Asians? They are very motivated in academics.


I wonder who has the time to post all day, every day about this. I haven't gone through the entire monumental thread (have a job...) but I guess it was inevitable that someone would start with the slurs against another minority.

WHY would he be out supporting staff at RHS? At his press conference he BLAMED THEM for the rape.

"All MCPS employees are responsible for this tragedy"

I seriously doubt most MCPS employees even WANT these thugs in the daytime school system. What a fool Jack Smith is. He couldn't be more out of touch with reality.
