[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone should be focusing on the county's inability to keep our students safe - regardless of which school they attend. I put the blame on the County Council and they need to come up with a solution now.[/quote]

You put the blame on the County Council, why?[/quote]

Because they removed the SROs (after full disapproval from ALL MCPS high school principals) and promised a whole bunch of mental health advisors and social workers to replace them. Only the first half has happened. Yes, they are to be blamed.[/quote]
+1  I emailed them to NOT remove the SROs.  I can't stand the MoCo progressives. And I'm not a Trumpster.

They removed the SRO because some woke people said kids feel "threatened" by the cops in the school. [b]Gosh,do they feel more safe with a  school shooter or knife wielder in the school?[/b]
[/quote]

Would the SROs have stopped the knife wielder from entering the parking lot? And is there any correlation between school shootings and police in schools?

What we do know is that the pandemic has been associated with overall increases in violent crime. It's not surprising that some of that crime is occurring in schools. We also know that we do not have any actual evidence showing that police in schools reduces violence, and that violence by police against students happens and is real. So maybe you should talk to some of those students before make blithe comments about what type of violence they prefer.[/quote]
An SRO is a deterent.   I went to a tough HS, much tougher than Blair.  It's like having a parent around vs not.  If the parent is around, the kid is less likely to do bad things.

[b]Why do the Principals want SROs?  They are on the ground. [/b] Not the city council. What do you do for a living?

How many SROs attacked students in MPCS for no cause?  How many were charged and convicted of assaulting a student?

Maybe you should talk to the Principals before making blithe comments about how police are bad for schools.

The woke brigade thinks they know better than anyone else on the ground.[/quote]
