– News about Quincy from Quincy Quarry News with commentary added
Quincy High School protest over racism coverage continues.
While all manner of local as well as regional media covered the story of a large number of students walking out of their classes at Quincy High School yesterday to protest their entirely understandable outrage over ongoing incidents of racial discrimination and sexual harassment, as always Quincy Quarry News yet again offers a unique slant on this latest example of breaking badly bad news© in the Q.
For example, the Quarry scored an image of students peacefully gathering in front of City Hall after the walkout.
Additionally, the Quarry was advised that more than the two Quincy High students who are said to have been in a fight in one of the school’s corridors on Tuesday suffered blows.
Specifically, others who just happened to be in the vicinity were struck as things apparently devolved into something akin to a bench-clearing incident at a Major League Baseball game.
Fortunately, as is the case with most baseball game contretemps, serious blows were few and far between given that next to no one knows how to both throw and then land a punch anymore.
Other than Quincy Quarry News that is.
The Quarry has from the start of the recent spate of ugly incidents of racial and sexual harassment in local schools pounded away on Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch as he has so far not offered any formal comment whatsoever about these ugly incidents in local schools even though as mayor he is thus also the Chair of the local school committee.
Time to start a “MAYOR’S LACK OF COMMENT CLOCK.”
How long will he go without making at least SOME kind of statement about an issue that needs immediate attention from various levels/officials of the city government? Continued silence indicates an apparent lack of interest.
What’s particularly problematic about the Mayor’s silence is that he is not only the Mayor but that he is also the Chairman of the School Committee.
Tick, tick, tick . . .
