>Circuit Judge Robert Taylor Jr. signed an order to release a redacted version of the 463-page report the Baltimore Banner reported. Taylor said he would hear arguments and decide whether to release the entire report at a later date.

You think he's going to hear arguments on whether to release the names and addresses of victims?

>You wouldn't get it.

Originally I was going to say that's because you couldn't explain it, which means you're probably wrong. But you're probably right in this for me. I wouldn't get it.

For example, as someone in a position of trust with people I'm a mandated reporter. Even though it means I have to do uncomfortable things it means I'm protecting innocent people. I embrace that part of my job.

The church has fought off being mandated reporters and in fact hides things from the government as part of what they do. I'll never understand putting people, including children, at risk for more abuse. And I'll never understand people who support those institutions.

Edit: I can give an even better concrete example. The Church won't release it's report about the schools in Canada. They know who committed which crimes. They're all old. People just want confirmation. Church won't give it to them. I won't ever understand.

As an outsider I'd say it's the later. They view their membership in their local church and don't see it as necessarily part of the larger whole. They see the good in the church but can mentally ignore the bad.

It's also hard for some people to separate from institutions they've brought up their whole lives. Look at Hogan and Republicans. He can see that the party has huge rotten components and that those are the majority within the party. But he can't leave it.

>As a public school survivor, I am more concerned with the ongoing public school sex abuse scandals, which are 100 times as widespread as the Catholic Church sex abuse scandals of the twentieth century. There are sickening parallels between the decades-old abuse cases in the article and the ongoing abuse still happening in public schools today.

There absolutely is widespread abuse in the public school system. There is also widespread abuse in the Catholic church. It's a little silly to blame it on hippies and free love but ok.

I'd argue that public school systems, when alerted to abuse, try to do the right thing. The Catholic church covers it up.

As someone who lived in Hampden for a long long time, I highly disagree that they're mediocre. They've got some absolute bangers on their menu.

If you wanted mediocre that's what Cafe Hon was for. If you wanted inedible that was Golden West.

Food Market wasn't the best food in Hampden but it was far better than "mediocre"

>and there is nothing which indicates technical programs or intro to careers, nor space for them ,

There's a literally goal for 45% of students to have completed a 450 hour apprenticeship by the time they graduate along with studies of local, domestic, and international programs, barriers etc. But OK, vocational isn't included.

I honestly don't get /u/S-Kunst's criticisms.

They seem mad that we're establishing vocational programs that were largely taken away even though they're pro vocational programs?

They're mad we're not providing vocational programs for engineers (a job that famously usually requires a college degree) or starting early for singing/athletes when we don't have a problem producing singers/athletes and those really aren't the jobs schools should be emphasizing....

This is going to allow far more kids to jump onto a vocational track far earlier and get a head start. They seem to be furious that it's not exactly what they'd do... which is silly.

>same tropes that were expressed in the Kerwin report My current take away is that the Blueprint is nothing by old wine in new skins.

This is as far as I read because it's pretty clear you don't understand what the Blueprint is if that's at all surprising.

The Blueprint is meant to be the plan to enact the recommendations etc. that were in the Kerwin report.

But it's pretty laughable that you think the Kerwin report was recommending business as usual. There's a ton of recommendations in their that would be pretty big shocks to the system.

Edit: Reading more you seem upset that we're not putting kids on a technical path... earlier? You really should see the school system in place now if you don't think these are seismic shifts.

FWIW I was a hampden person for about a decade. Including about half of it living right off the avenue.

The avenue parking isn’t used too often in part because there’s free neighborhood parking right off of it. Even though the meters are dirt cheap it’s an extra step. So people visiting the avenue, and especially those working on it, park in the neighborhood. Which means it’s super easy to find parking on the actual avenue and not that hard to find it off it.
