I just can't. How can MCPS leadership drink this Kool-Aid and expect other sane adults to follow suit?

What an absolute joke. All that second grader is going to learn is that there are no consequences.

Really? You're saying that schools are these magical zones where our laws aren't enforced? Why is MCPD not doing their job? If laws are being broken, there are consequences that are dispensed by the courts. MCPS on the other hand is not the judiciary. Their job is to educate kids. If you want to be mad at someone, please look to MCPD who is clearly at fault.

You're a fool. Progressives made sure that cops were pushed out of school. The only way they can get involved in an incident that occurs on school grounds is if the admin calls the cops.

Principals wanted SROs. It was the Progressives like Elrich, and probably you, who doesn't deal with the drug use and violence in our schools, who kicked the cops out of the schools such that they cannot do as you claim they should.

Blame the Elrich and the Progressives, probably you who also support "defund the police".

This is complete nonsense. Eliminating the ineffective SRO jobs does not push cops out of schools. Their jurisdiction is Montgomery county and they're responsible for enforcing laws here PERIOD. This hasn't changed.

I think what he's saying is the cops are angry the politicians eliminated the cushy SRO jobs so they've purposely let schools turn into the wild west out of spite.

I think what you're saying is that you're a dumbshlt progressive.

So MCPD is refusing to enforce our laws and putting our children at risk?

How many times do we have to tell you that the cops only respond when they are called and that school officials have a stated position of avoiding calling the police for reasons of racial justice and equity? The police cannot respond to crimes they aren't alerted to. This talking point is ridiculous.

School officials don't have to report crimes these days. Maybe you hadn't noticed but 95% of the kids are posting videos of these things to social media.

You must be quite a tool to believe in RJ with the evidence available. It's like believing in ghosts or green aliens.

What grown- up conversation? You aren’t discussing the merits of RJ or lack thereof; you’re all just shouting into the void.

So you're saying school officials are covering up crimes? If one student assaults another, and that student decides to press charges is the school official also charged as an accomplice for covering up felony assault?

Yes. School officials refuse to comply with evidence needed to pursue or convict juvenile criminals regularly. Parents whose children have been assaulted then have to take matters into their own hands and file charges with the police on their own independent of the school district.

No. MCPS and the BOE nad the County Council have kicked police out of schools. MCPS has instructed admin NOT to involve MCPD and to handle incidents 'internally'.

This is complete nonsense. Eliminating the ineffective SRO jobs does not push cops out of schools. Their jurisdiction is Montgomery county and they're responsible for enforcing laws here PERIOD. This hasn't changed.

I think what he's saying is the cops are angry the politicians eliminated the cushy SRO jobs so they've purposely let schools turn into the wild west out of spite.

So MCPD is refusing to enforce our laws and putting our children at risk?
