Students and staff at Montgomery County Public Schools have seen a rise in racism and hate. MCPS leadership indicates they have a plan to address it.

The audit was commissioned after a series of racist incidents at MCPS schools in 2020.

Residents have sought for years to remove the name of Francis G. Newlands from the Chevy Chase park.

Hogan is expected to sign additional measures next week.

Local officials want to sever the park from its segregationist past.

The judge found a culture of rampant racial discrimination in its system for promoting officers that “disproportionately advantaged” white employees.

This is the second incident of spitting and racial slurs in less than a month.

Black students say they were called “boy” and the “N-word” during a football game, but parents didn’t find out about it until players posted on social media two weeks later.

Another professor involved in the incident is being investigated by the university’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action.

Officers of color are demanding the department make immediate changes to its most senior leadership.
