Once again, answer the question.. why do Principals want SROs? Why did the Blair Principal want the cops there after the incident?

Why do you anti-SROs NEVER answer that question?

Also, why don't you go volunteer in the HSs where there have been some serious incidents and deal with those kids.  There are security guards there, but that doesn't seem to be reducing the number of serious incidents. So, why don't you go there and do something about it since you don't want SROs there.[/quote]

Presumably because they believe the SROs are helpful to them, no? What's your point? Do you support everything principals want, or just this one thing?[/quote]
My point is that Principals are the ones in the hallways every school day, not you, not Elrich and not the BOE. So, they know what's needed. not you or Elrich.  If the Principals say that SROs make the schools overall safer, then I back them up.

Why don't you go volunteer and deal with the 200lb 6' 16 yr old who is causing issues in the classroom.[/quote]

Sure, but the students are also in the hallways every school day, and the push to remove the SROs came from the students. The students said that the SROs do NOT make the schools overall safer. Do you back them up or not?[/quote]

Let's think of context here. The students who were vocal about it were largely driven by emotions based on the BLM movement. The students who showed up at the council meetings- this number isn't even 1% of the HS student population. Do you think the other kids who did want the SRO's to stay would risk being socially ostracized or cancelled by standing up and disagreeing with the woke mob? By the way, interestingly enough, the few kids who did speak and said they wanted SROs to stay were black/brown and were from high schools with majority black/brown kids - for example, Springbrook HS. Did they even survey all students? No, they did not.  And I can tell you right now as a parent volunteer who does have students at a majority-minority school, there are a lot of black and brown kids there today who NO LONGER feel safe in their building.
