The District has no power to control which groups use their name and which groups do not, they're a government entity and don't have a trademark on the name and couldn't even if they wanted to. I could change my name to "District 65 Official Fart Blog" and there's nothing they could do. I'm not sure what resolution you'd expect with this.

I don't understand why people get so riled up about this group. You're under no obligation to be a member or read it. It's not really used for distribution of information, so it's not like you need to be in it. Just don't read it?
They have a thousand plus folks, and five of them dominate the conversation in a toxic and uncompromising way. It’s not helpful or representative of Evanston or the D65 community.
That's why there are alternatives now and I'm trying to bridge the gap with a relatively free speech comment section compared to the rest of the local blogs and groups. I haven't banned anyone in a few months since the guy who called me a "fake journalist"

My guess is most people treat the group like a Gaper’s Block. Until people leave it the outrage factory will continue to crank out rage bait.
