“I think what is making both an interesting point and overstating it for the moment. When Mr. B posts a story, his take on and framing of the story is fair game for commentary, as what and others have done in the past. But it is a little premature, although not necessarily wrong, to read race/class warfare into the absence of a story. Do we know whether Mr. B knew about the story? He’s not omniscient. Outside his own hood, he relies on tips and he does cruise the blogs, but this one seems to be a bit less on fire than what suggests.
Send him an email, what, asking why he hasn’t reported the story, and you can post the response for us all to judge. Then we’ll have sufficient data to go on.”
Oh No! This story is HUGE NEWS in Williamsburg! Come to find out the whole neighborhood was in a uproar! You mean to tell me on of the best section of Williamsburg got vandalized and Brownstoner did not get a heads up???!!! Pull the other one!
I think the posters need to stop playing the Devils advocate and let Brownstoner speak for himself!!! I know Jon has read my post and has had time to craft a response.
One thing that we learned from the Irish bone breakers was that you were NOT allowed to brag. EVERYBODY read way over the “grade level”. (true) Also, there was no bullying. The role of bully was filled by the teacher. Opening my mouth to “express” myself got me the label of a “bold piece”. But the really good thing about that schooling (yes there were good things) was that they held the bar really high and they had great expectations from the kids. (often disappointed, I guess) but in retrospect, I appreciate that.

The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
No claiming to be a genius- just that traditional school isn’t always the best setting for everyone. It wasn’t for me.
“there was no bullying”
What about Corinne Rossi??
donatella,
do we know if these Williamsburg Hipster Ninja Anarchists were homeschooled or if they went to religious school? 😉

Slopey, that is a really gay sentence. ^^^
what = What. Please, it’s a proper name.

speaking about homeschooling,
This is an interesting link discussing Adam “the American” Gadahan who was caught overseas, raised in California.
