And a drive-by shooting at WJ. Great week in MCPS land where literal criminals are enrolled so no wonder.

They just raised our property taxes to edumacate the huddled masses.

Johnny justice would take issue with that labeling.

A first-grader punching another first-grader?

Yeah, can't even stop by the Giant during WJ lunchtime.

@2:55 Buckle up for round 2 of the property tax pinwheel as Moore/Elrich has managed to saddle MD with huge entitlements for illegals.

MCPS Official--Bethesda Elementary School administrators have confirmed that no assault was reported at the school on Wednesday, October 21, contrary to a published report. MCPS takes all matters involving school safety seriously and encourages the verification of facts before information is shared publicly.

@ 4:23 AM It could have been a kindergartner up to a fifth grader.

Don't worry, when they get older they completely change.

MCPS Official: The assault appears in the dispatch records of MCPD for that time and date, at a school in the 7600 block of Arlington Road. That is an official police and Montgomery County government data point, not a rumor.

They will receive remedial education from Johnny Justice.

Cmon, I’m not so worried about this unless more facts come out. Decades ago, there were , I guess, assaults at my elementary school and jr. high in Bethesda. In other words, a little skirmish that would never be reported.

Priorities! Look how fast MCPS sued parents trying to opt their kids out of their indoctrination curriculum all the way to SCOTUS, yet manages to graduate a large population of students not proficient in mathematics.

Not proficient in 'The Three Rs' period!

Cops love these more innocuous maybe kid on kid beefs because it helps water down the far more serious crimes they have to massage and manipulate, and they also look to be doing something against 'violent' crime. More fodder to churn to manipulate the facts and lax prosecution.
