[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no evidence that even if there were an SRO in the building that this incident would not have happened. In fact there is very little evidence SROs prevent school violence. But there is evidence they increase fear and increase disparities in school discipline. No SROs in MCPS. They made the right decision. [/quote]

Every single principal in MCPS was in favor of SROs. Why not trust them instead of making guesses about what's best for their school?[/quote]

Just because people think something works doesn’t make it true. Of course principals wanted someone else in a building they could blame if something goes wrong.[b] It takes the responsibility of actually making schools a safe and supportive place away…[/b].[/quote]

This!

Students testified about the fact that SROs made them feel unsafe. [/quote]

I don’t believe this is representative for a second. Kind of like how white leftists claim that black people don’t want policing… when in fact surveys say they do. [/quote]

My DD, a straight A student and aactual Black person not raised by leftist Whites, says they made her feel unsafe. [/quote]

Why did she feel unsafe? Was it something the officer did, or does she not like certain types of people?[/quote]

"Approximately 63% (n=2,483) of teachers in the study reported SRO
presence in their school buildings. Results of the current study suggest that teachers positively
associate SRO presence with feelings of safety and security, [b]but they perceive students to be more
fearful and less secure in buildings employing SROs[/b]."

The kids are getting their information from social media, so their fear has nothing to do with reality. [/quote]

The reality is that they are fearful, regardless of whether you think that fear is justified.  And that does not make for a good learning environment.[/quote]
