You'll find that a number of participants grew tired of posting along the way because senior city staff and city council never paid much (if any) attention to their concerns. It had become an "exercise in futility" for some that continues on to this day.

I don't need to go through the archives, I've been here for it and seen the decline firsthand.

You are right, Scout, I withdraw the question and comment.

Middletownscouter -
You seem to have an "unorthodox interest" in documenting the diminished number of active MUSA Blog members and those expressing displeasure with city government priorities, policies, plans and programs. You should spend additional time going through the MUSA Blog archives over the past 10 years. You'll find quite a number of now inactive members who factually voiced concerns regarding the actions of One Donham Abbey staff and city council counterparts. You'll find that a number of participants grew tired of posting along the way because senior city staff and city council never paid much (if any) attention to their concerns. It had become an "exercise in futility" for some that continues on to this day. It would be interesting to know your personal take on the costs/benefits and failures/successes derived from the $20+ million spent since March 2009 on economic development, downtown revitalization plus older neighborhoods improvements. What say you? Please be specific if you choose to reply.

Either you're joking or you haven't bothered to read most of the posting going on on MUSA. The vast majority of the 25 or so active users are very much not fans of just about anything the city does. If Mr. Beagle were to remove comments that were uncomfortable to the city, well there'd be nearly no traffic at all.

I'm surprised that personal slurs against commenting members are allowed to remain while posts uncomfortable to the city are removed. Odd.

I just watched the full report.
1. A teacher (at least an adult was seen stepping in to stop the fight - not students). 2. Only one phone was taken according to the report 3. The student was suspended after taking the phone back to the classroom and showing the video to others 4. Neither the parent nor student would show their faces. 5. No discussion of said student's prior disciplinary history. 6. Parent only going to appeal length of suspension not overturn it. Methinks there's more to this story...I'm not really sure what the Journal would have reported. There was a fight a Highview. Happens everyday. What would have made this newsworthy?

The incident happened at Highview not high school as I was first informed. You can go to Fox news and type in fight at Middletown school which has a video. The date was Feb. 28th and was broadcasted by fox the same night.

I used to have to visit Highview on a regular basis. I called it Shawshank.

I'm all for this kind of information - but where's the proof? It's one thing to report something that is common knowledge - it's another thing to level accusations that can't be proven.
I'm not being sarcastic, Tomahawk, just being honest. If there's any proof that there was an incident - and the cell phones were confiscated - then those involved need to stand up and speak out. Sometimes in our schools there are incidents that involve students with special needs that, when isolated by a 15 second video on a phone, can be either blown out of proportion or are just out of context. But - it I were a student and had my phone confiscated because of something like this - I'd be speaking up about it. If I was the parent of the kid and I bought them a cell phone and it was confiscated (and I've seen kids all over that campus on their phones at all hours of the day, so it's not a permissive issue) I think I'd be pretty upset and speak up about it. If the incident happened - those involved need to speak up...otherwise it kinda resembles slander when revealed in this manner. Again - I'm not trying to say it didn't happen - but if that's true there's a heck of a story that any number of news outlets would love to get their hands on.

Suppressing information, confiscating phones and failure of teachers to halt fights at city schools sounds like some serious violations ... of civil rights?

Because there isn't a local paper anymore? The Middletown Journal was sucked into the Journal-News several years ago which appears to be more prominent to Hamilton and the rest of Butler County than Middletown. At best we have a regional paper where our community is more of an afterthought than anything else.
But to be fair, a google search for all the regional news outlets is showing nothing at all about an incident this week at MHS. There is one Fox19 story about a mom upset that her daughter is getting a 10 day suspension for filming a fight at Highview Monday, but that's it.

The Journal News has a reputation for selective reporting.
Channel 9 News has a good reputation for reporting uncensored news and investigates news tips.

Why doesn't the local paper report incidents that happen in Middletown. There was a fight at the local high school this week with all phones taken from students who video it, plus students finally broke it up as 3 or more teachers just stood around and watched it.
