With just a few weeks until school begins, the homeless encampment at Broadview Thompson K-8 in Seattle is growing, violence is spiraling out of control, drug dealers make regular stops to the site and sex workers work the area and nothing seems to be happening in order to have the encampment removed before the first day of school.
An email obtained from the Broadview Thompson PTA to the parent body advises parents to "Stop by the encampment and meet Mike and his team."
"Mike" is Mike Mathias, who has been tasked with dealing with the encampment by Seattle Public Schools, has an extensive criminal past as well as addiction and mental health challenges, who so far has claimed he has gotten people out of the encampment and into shelters and services while the encampment keeps growing.
The email asks for donations and then said, "SPS has installed a gate at the north end of the camp, to discourage campers from going through that neighborhood at night." Additionally, the email said, "SPS is in the process of installing a fence along the walkway leading from the park to the school playground in anticipation of being able to open the back gate before and after school in September."
One neighbor said to The Post Millennial, "Why would they need the fencing if they were not planning on making the encampment permanent? Shouldn’t they just clear the encampment?"
"Now the neighbors are locked out of their park, and one of the assailants has the key, deciding who comes and who goes. Seattle Public Schools is now letting a violent individual manage their property."

If everyone’s wearing masks I don’t see a problem.
No parent would send their children there now anyway
People never make the political connection. I bet these same Democrats will win reelection in landslides again.
The Germans might have to call this BidenFauxin.
“When a group of parents, employees and neighbors greeted students and their parents for their first day back in April and handed out flyers describing the situation with the encampments and inaction of school officials, Hampson responded by threatening the group with trespassing, even as she demanded the campers remain on school grounds. “
Sounds about right, Typical petty tyrant.
The kids need to learn street smarts to survive in Seattle. Dodging piles of excrement, running from pervs and learning how to screen out foul language will serve them well in coming years.
Parents voted for it.
And staying 6 feet apart.
You’re correct. Don’t feel sorry for these people at all. Let their kids fall behind in their schooling. Liberalism is more important than the kids. You voted for the people in charge, you are reaping your rewards.
When do the kids go back ???
They went back last week here in TN....

Everyone is looking at this all wrong. Think about how the children will learn about alternative lifestyles such as urban camping, sex work and sex workers, the recreational use of drugs—the list could go on and on. What a wonderful opportunity to broaden the kids’ horizons.Seattle should be applauded for providing what might be called an ‘outdoor classroom’.

I have a hard time finding any sympathy for the typical liberal idiot who gladly welcomes their own destruction despite the best advice from people who know what they are talking about.
You know, there are solutions to this problem.
Just sayin'.
WE DEMAND THE SOLUTION TO 1+1=X
AND *DO NOT EVEN* SAY X=2
THAT’S JUST A BUNCH OF WESTERN, WHITE PRIVILEGED, EUROCENTRIC, RACIST BIGOTRY, AND WE’RE HAVING NONE OF THAT HERE IN SEATTLE!

Just like San Fran, conditioning Americans to accept third world living.
“The kids need to learn street smarts to survive in Seattle. Dodging piles of excrement, running from pervs and learning how to screen out foul language will serve them well in coming years.”
Maybe some good can come of this. “Look out the window. Don’t let this happen to you. Get off of your #$%#$% phone or Xbox and read.”
The next generation will definitely be better than this one. They will HAVE to be be better.
