'Vandalism, out-of-control behavior in school hallways, verbal abuse—all have increased since before the pandemic. Yet the new letter from Washington redirects attention to students’ ethnicities instead of classroom safety.' -Jonathan Butcher
: “Many cities yanked officers out of schools while reassessing policing after George Floyd’s 2020 murder. However well-intentioned, the experiment has left kids more vulnerable and classrooms less safe amid surging youth violence.”
Neighboring jurisdictions such as Alexandria, Virginia, and Montgomery County, Maryland, also are considering hiring more school resource officers, as are Boston and Phoenix, theTwo students were shot in separate incidents in just the last two weeks near D.C. high schools, police said. Athat 77 knives, 15 tasers, and five guns were found on the school system’s campuses in the 2021-2022 school year.
School officials should judge each disciplinary incident on its own merits. Parents and educators know their students and their schools best, and they should decide how to keep students safe and maintain order. They can do that without letters from Washington that reek of racial quotas.and is reprinted with kind permission from the Heritage Foundation
