Nguyen was charged as an adult with attempted murder, along with 17-year-old Tavares Harris, who police say gave Nguyen the gun. Both boys attend Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, one of the top schools in the county, officials said. Both suspects, as well as the victim, are members of gangs, Feeney said in court. He did not say what, if any, role that played in the shooting.Just a couple of questions for the MCPS $10 million dollar public relations department: 1. Was the gun used in the shooting ever on the RMHS campus? Has an investigation been done? 2. Exactly how many gangs are active at RMHS? 3. What efforts are being made at RMHS to address the issue of gangs? (or, as Montgomery County likes to call them, "criminally oriented youth subculture." The first priority, before everything, should be safety in schools.

RM's shadow principal put out a bullshit response to a question on the list-serv that did NOT ADDRESS GANGS. Then the list serv "monitors" shut down all further discussion.

ReplyDelete@Anonymous2:49PM, usually the school listservs are run by the PTA, is that the case also at RM? If so, this type of moderating, or censorship, is the decision of your PTA. If this is the case, that approach falls in line with what goes on with public school listservs across the county. My suggestion, if you want open unmoderated discussion, start your own listserv. It's easy to do, cheap, and free. Go for it!
