Having attended Catholic school in NYC at a simpler time, it never occurred to me that the City would be actively providing for the safety of the 80% of all kids who attend public schools K-12, while ignoring the other 20%.
The cynic in my wonders whether NYC's most powerful political entity, the United Federation of Teachers, had a role in this oversight.
Please discuss. And share. If you live in NYC, and you watch the news, you will know that this is an oversight that needs to be corrected immediately.

Seems to me when it comes to security, the police should be making sure all children are safe equally, not just those in public school.
It should also be noted that the parents of these kids in private schools still pay the full tax load they would if their kids were in public school.
There’s no reason they shouldn’t be covered the same way a public school is.
Private schools have a huge built in safety factor which public schools refuse to employ.
They reject or expel problem students permanently.
DiBlasio probably thinks providing security to private schools is some kind of state support for religion or the 1% or something.

No kid is safe in public school, none of them
And what's wrong with that exactly?
Well, whether one’s children attend public or private school, or whether one has children at all, don’t they still have to pay school, or other public service type taxes? If they do, aren’t all children then entitled to public safety, especially those who don’t cost the school systems money? It shouldn’t even be a question. Kids need to be protected!
