On the article Should Rainbow Flags Be Banned From Westford Middle Schools?

ReplyWhen I went to school in the 70s and 80s, the homophobia attitude was rampant with kids using "gay" as a term of derision and saying things were "wicked quee-ah." I hope that attitude has changed in our public schools. Sadly, it seems there are always nasty kids who will find something to bully others about.

ReplyAbout the contestants- I wonder if there were any girls who were nominated but were too shy or self-conscious to accept the nomination. That may be another factor in the contestants being "conventional beauties."

ReplyIs there any chance the Patch could put up a poll about this? I haven't seen any polls on the Patch lately. It might be a better way to get how the majority of readers feel about this issue, since not everyone is comfortable posting comments.

ReplyI agree also that the Abbot School would be a better location. I would definitely go to it if it were there.

How do they know he went to a high school first? Didn't he destroy his hard drive and basically leave no evidence of his motive behind? I think the m.o. of most of these shooters is to commit suicide and take down as many people with him as possible in the process.

I don't mind parking far away and walking, but I do mind not being able to find a parking space anywhere in the lot. As for Marshalls, I'm kind of disappointed. The children's department seems similar to the Tyngsboro T.J. Maxx, not very big.

Yes and as of around noon today, it was packed! I was thinking of stopping in, but I couldn't even find a parking space anywhere in the entire Cornerstone plaza lot.

Did that bear in the picture climb over the fence? Maybe they've been hibernating in Westford all winter.

And it's not like the girl decided for herself not to watch it. Her mother decided for her, yet the child gets bullied for it. That really bothers me. My gut feeling is the kid doing the bullying was looking for a "reason" to pick on the girl. In my experience, bullies don't always have a "reason" for bullying, nor do they necessarily feel they need a "reason."
