Lol, I love how the article says "MyMCM spoke with some students at Gaithersburg High School who said they would feel safer..." then goes on to say, "However, other students disagree ...." and you somehow landed on "MOST students want SROs back." Do you even know how to comprehend what you are reading? Nowhere in that article did it state MOST students...in fact, the rest of the article goes on to contradict exactly that... "At a recent student vigil organized by Sunrise Silver Spring, those in attendance demonstrated their desire to keep schools police-free.

“Putting in the CEO 2.0 Program is not going to keep us safer, and it is actually just going to cause more trauma,” Miles, a 15-year-old freshman at Montgomery Blair High School, said at the vigil.

MCPS students also held a rally against police precedence in schools in February. Students told MyMCM they were against the CEO 2.0 Program and instead wanted to see more mental health support."

YOU cited this article to back a claim and it appears you didn't even read it. Just..wow. [/quote]

I’m a different poster, not the one who linked the Mymcmedia link. I just looked at the vague article AND I watched the video. 100% of the students quoted in the video have a positive view about the return of SROs. Yes, you are correct there was recently an anti-SRO rally, but the poster of this link is also correct: many students ALSO want SROs to return.

So that’s where we are. Many students want them to return. Some don’t. Many teachers and ALL principals want them to return. Some community members don’t. Statistics (as posted above) show the benefit of SROs, but people who want to hate them will continue to do so. [/quote]
