[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Student activism drove much of the anti-SRO movement. Students of color say that they don't feel safe with SROs in the schools. [/quote]
but maybe other kids feel safer with SROs, and certainly, the Principals wanted to keep the SROs.[/quote]

It's a movement. People who like them come from a position of privilege, so their feelings of safety don't trump those students of color who are fearful of SROs and more likely that non-POC to be arrested. SROs are police and the argument is that police don't belong in schools.[/quote]

Three Percent. That's the percentage of arrests initiated by SROs in this county.  Let that sink in. Let's admit that the politicians did not care to even assess this data but instead used the testimonies of maybe 20 students to make their decision
 This decision was based on emotions and a political agenda.[/quote]

Well there's also research and data to back up the decision, cited up thread and then conveniently ignored.[/quote]
