@KristinMink_ Especially with several potential investigations going on, I hope that someone is making sure the victims are not retraumatized multiple times (per @bnhowe recommendations).

… circumstances. The level of condescension and suspicion that human beings are treated with in this system is unconscionable. If you disagree with this, I hope that your bed is always too short to stretch out on and your blanket too narrow to wrap around your body.

As an @mcps taxpayer, I would rather 5000 families unfairly sneak their students into public schools based on lies than to have one unhoused or housing insecure family have to deal with the nightmare that is attempting to enroll a child into @mcps under even slightly unusual…

I haven’t been reading much from this magazine these days, but when I saw it was Hannif Abdurraqib writing about Sinead O’Connor, I had to. I was not disappointed. He wrote a lovely tribute.

Two-way (dual) immersion @mcps has changed the demographics/ real estate values in my neighborhood, displaced neighbors, + pulled needs-based federal funding out of the school. I hope residents in other neighborhoods where MCPS is considering placing TWI have better luck.
