This is actually a really harmful rumor and maybe you could stop spreading it? You are positing that white kid did a property crime in retaliation for physical violence. In this narrative, the white kids look like they are offering a proportional reponse, except that we have no evidence at all of any white kids being "jumped" by Black children. None. No police report, no early gossip about kids being beaten up.
So maybe you could stop?
It's also not a proportional response, but a weak one done in anger. Proportional would be more violence.

This stuff is more publicized today, but if I had to guess it's always been this way.

If I had to guess, my guess would be someone from outside the community who thought that racist and anti-lbgtq+ graffiti would be a good way to needle the supposedly liberal “woke” Bethesdans. The combo of the two sentiments together just seems sort of … rural? to me. Maybe I’m wrong.
Well if I had to guess it would be a student. There have been many similar events at W's that were also perpetrated by students so this stands to reason. If these schools were more diverse perhaps the students would have greater empathy for others and there would be fewer incidents like this

It's probably fake. And it hurt people. What a jerk.

Next you will ask why MCEA hasn’t issued a statement saying that if a staff member is found to have done it they should be fired.

You'd think that area would be more diverse-minded but that is one of the few areas here where I hear racist language. During zoom school (a Bethesda school) in the middle of covid, the teacher was talking about American Indians and was flabbergasted when a young white girl commented that they're dirty :o Where are these children getting these ideas?

He also said that the school is having all social studies classes give talks/presentations tomorrow. Very curious what will be said.
If it’s a juvenile they won’t be identified.
