How does a parent who uses a racial slur impact the reputation of MCPS? MCPS has no control over a parents behavior. I fail to see how a school is responsible for a parents behavior.
But MCPS has control over its reaction. They need to ban that team's parents from attending any games the rest of the season for any sport.
I'm sorry but you need to get a grip. While using the N word at a sporting event should not be tolerated (assuming that's what actually happened), banning all parents from all games for all sports for the entire season because the actions of one or a very small number of parents is way over the top. It is also a great way to alienate parents over this issue rather than bring them together. Banning that parent or parents is on the other hand the reaction of a reasonable person.

You apparently did not hear what the Poolesville adult was yelling the whole game at him....a minor. I would react the exact same way he was protecting his own teammates. Unacceptable behavior of a parent to a minor child. If it is that serious the parent should to go to a WWE event and yell whatever he wants to. Unacceptable behavior to provoke a minor to be that angry. The goalie has a passion for the game of lacrosse and wants to have fun while playing it. But unfortunately one parent ruined it for him and his teammates.
