We need remove police from schools. They have been nothing but a disaster. They puts the lives of our children and youth in jeopardy, especially if they are Neurodivergent or BIPOC. Police have repeatedly shown they have more for obedience than the well being of those around them. Children suffering from a mental health crisis have and frequently harmed by police because they couldn't obey.
Our BIPOC students are often treated with violence and sent to prison where thier white counterparts are ignored. Worse, BIPOC are far more likely to be tried as adults.
None of this helps students learn. There isn't a worse learning environment than prison. Schools are quite capable of handling disruption without violence workers. We should value the education of all of our students, not just the White Neurotuoical ones.
