Sherwood High School and racial hatred?

There is simply not racism around every corner. Although many MoCo political leaders find skin color a great way to divide people and garner votes most people know better.

Coverage of the Senior Class T Shirts at Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring is a great example. The black teachers and advisors and student leaders designed T-shirts for the senior class to wear as a memento. They used the word SENIORS and changed some letters to numbers to add ’26 - making it catchy. The kids loved them!

Yet some administrators and students decided they saw the N-word in the T-shirts and called racism against everyone involved!  Let’s be clear, two or three black leaders did NOT design a shirt modeled after the N-word for all the students to wear to remember their time together. They would not do that. Neither would white, native or Asian students. For the few folks who love division let me be clear, in Montgomery County there is not racism around EVERY corner- even if you’re desperate to find it. We’re better than that. MoCo is a good place.

Rich Collins, Vice President of the Maryland Republican Party, spoke to members of the Montgomery County Republican Party's Executive Committee at its October meeting Tuesday in Rockville. He stressed it's time to help great Republicans all over the region get elected - and even help out in other states and local off-year elections.

Yes, the MoCo Republicans still back the blue.
