There were no drugs or drinking there. Some kids did come drunk but that is on their parents not on the chaperones. There was a stink bomb set off but it wasn't that big of a deal.




I agree completely. Why do things always get so out of reality? I am a teacher and mother who dropped her daughter off. That is on the parents who dropped the kids off that were drunk-- not the party. As my husband said, there were 95% of kids there who were great.


I can't believe you are both okay with your 12 and 13 year olds at a party with drunk 7th and 8th graders. And yes, I know from texts that came into my DS's phone from the party that what the PPs are saying is true: it was a mess.

No- they were not drinking there and that is a rumor about the water. Kids seemed to have snuck drinks before---not at the party.

Whaaaaaaat?



Seriously? What on earth???
Are you saying kids were drinking at the event, or that someone put drugs in the food and water and that's what made everyone sick? Or both?


Don't feed the troll.

Totally agree. Call it the White Fest, or White Activity. The word "party" is so politically charged. And how can some people party with so much injustice in the world? Resist!

Yeah, let’s get real. How many people of color will there be?


I think the PP who alluded to dinner was thinking of the Dîner en Blanc, which is a different event entirely.

Black people popularized "white parties" in the 1990s:

Not a racial thing. It's caught on in the white community now. ?
