A DUBIOUS IDEA TO MAKE SCHOOLS "BETTER"

by Bob Walsh

The Stockton, Oakland and L.A. unified school districts each maintain their own police departments.  This allows them to be proactive rather than reactive.  All three districts are currently seriously looking at totally disbanding their police departments.  They MAY put the funding, if that happens, into hiring more social workers to intervene in problems.  Or not.

According to the media freaks each of these proposals has a serious possibility of passing.  It is very likely if that occurs that the only police presence at schools will be reactive, after the excrement has already hit the air circulation device.  

Gee, if schools are such pastoral, peaceful places I wonder why the districts started up their own police departments in the first place?

Doesn't matter whether or not it's effective Bob. It's how it makes liberals FEEL that counts.

Since Stockton was on the receiving end of one of the very first serious school shooting incidents at the Cleveland School one would think they would have more sense. One would perhaps be in error.
