Wow, way to go Josh! That makes three local Baltimore area private schools (that I know about) being called into question.

The Creator makes the crab. You just cook it. I was inspired to sauté bronzino finished with a beurre blanc with tarragon and cream, asparagus vapeur, tourned pomme vapeur with a Chilean viognier.

I’m sure the guy was a serious deadly felon and the killer was in total fear for his life. Completely justified, I mean come, he was once a cop so it’s impossible that he did anything unlawful in this taking of a life.
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Oh snap. Should dig up the body and kill him again for such an egregious violation.

Lol. Jefferson doesn’t have a year left. Tops. Washington maybe 3 years.

No one is safe from the liberal mob. It eats until nothing is left to eat. JHU72 thinks he’s safe because he’s woke; what he and others never understand is one can’t be woke enough for the mob. Any nuance no matter how well intentioned is seen as an assault on the Left mob. It won’t stop until it eats itself.

Thanks Democrats!!

They never wanted to do away with Confederate statues. They want to do away with America.

The Greeks and Romans should be next. Here’s hoping that the protests in the US continue to be mirrored in the EU. There are lots of statues of “oppressors” over there that need to be torn down too.

The woke paramilitary wing of the Democratic Party will eventually turn on the Fanlax Dems. It’s one of the surest formulas of science: leftists don’t stop until it eats its own. Look at Venezuela. This is what they aspire to.

You must not have a mirror with you under the Gasparilla Island Bridge. Trump fascist and racist extremists have already “eaten their own” and hijacked the entire Republican Party, and you’re telling the dems to watch out for extremists. Lol

Solution free virtue signalling. Viva la Marxist Revolution! It's the one thing in common the "organized" Left has in common. Marxism. The two founders of BLM have admitted as much. Peaceful protest should be encouraged and listened to. Dismantling the system that gives the descendants of slavery the best chance for prosperity in favor of Marxism should be rejected out of hand.

Well thank the Lord BLM is not against the nuclear family as their manifesto explicitly states (the usual suspects here rationalized this statement yesterday as not what the words say but rather what the message is; Trump though needs to be taken literally!!! :lol: ).

Also, Defund the Police does not in fact mean "DEFUND THE POLICE", that's merely a right wing interpretation of what that statement says. :lol:

What's that old George Orwell saw about meaningless words and thought, War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength. He had this board's Democrats down to a tee! I wonder how many here are good with their paramilitary wing tearing down statues of Ulysses S Grant and Francis Scott Key! Here's my bet: most will publicly tsk tsk it, but actually they don't really care which statues come down.

Not sure who needs to hear this again, but within 3 POTUS cycles, the 4th of July will be a holiday celebrated strictly by Republicans. Mark it down.

Wow, way to go Josh! That makes three local Baltimore area private schools (that I know about) being called into question.
Just to be clear, what is being called into question at each of those schools is different.

The Severn situation appears to be far more acute. Probably needs a change of leadership, soon. Coupled with a major, extended push to become significantly more inclusive.

From the little bit I know from some Loyola alums, they have a pretty significant challenge there as well within their alum/parent base (who has none?!), but leadership appears to be on the right page about moving forward. It'll be interesting to see what they do, dropping the name "Blakefield" being the easiest part. There are a bunch of private schools in this area that I'd say are on par or worse than Loyola on these sorts of issues. They're all going to be quite challenged with this. And that's a good thing.

My impression is that McDonogh has a far healthier base from which to address these issues. They've been working on them for quite some time and are far more likely to have a base of trust. Which isn't to say that they won't be challenged as well. Same for my alma mater, Gilman.

Both of those schools, at least relatively speaking, have faculty who are quite aware of the importance of their curricula, both formal and informal, in the formation of understanding.

But they definitely can do better.
My son is a 2012 Gilman alum and was aware of Juneteenth as well as the Tulsa massacre from his US history courses (not mine!), but says he was nevertheless not really aware of the degree of persistent racism issues of today. The kinds of conversations going on now are really new.

And important.

as an aside, I was just catching up with Kevin Costner, etc "Yellowstone" Season 2 (season 3 just started). The Native American wife of the son just landed a University teaching job, US History...beginning with Columbus...fascinating.

There was apparently a "non-accidental" loss of life last night in the CHOP. Can't be confirmed because the police are not allowed in to investigate. This is the "trailer" for the real movie to come.
