Murphy talks school safety with New Haven high school students
The New Have Register ^ | March 28, 2018 | Jessica Lerner

Instead of talking at the heads of 100 teenagers in blue auditorium seats, U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., was more interested in having a conversation with the students at James Hillhouse High School Wednesday during a forum on school safety and gun violence.

...........

What he’s worried about is schools going too far and in the name of “school safety” arresting too many kids — most of them black — for behavior that used to be taken care of within the school, he said.

While not being able to speak about the specifics at Hillhouse, Murphy said the evidence shows “that it’s black kids who are getting arrested at a rate totally different than white kids. In most states, if you are a black kid that commits the same offense in school as a white kid, you are twice as likely to get arrested or get suspended or get expelled.”

Murphy said schools doubling down on suspending or expelling anyone who looks or seems like he or she may be trouble may have the opposite effect. By isolating some of these students, it could actually compound the problem, he said.

Leftwingers irresponsibly have every adolescent believing school is the most dangerous place on the planet and it is a miracle they survive at all.

Hmmm. Is it “his” fear that most arrests would be AA youths? Why would he posit that notion. Is he a closet racis’? Well, that’s silly of me. Most dems are closet racis’ keeping the AAs dependent all these years and making comments like that re-enforcing the dems notion that they can’t make it on their own.

This is precisely the thinking that will get more people killed.

If true maybe you should stop being racist Senator and start looking at behavior rather then blaming race

How about this policy?

If you break the law, you get arrested and let the chips fall where they may.

Stop worrying about skin color and focus on stopping criminal behavior.

The liberal is the stupidest animal on the planet. The action to this asinine thinking, Obama policy, is precisely what precipitated the school shooting in Parkland and will never answer the serious problems in the American ghetto and ghetto culture.

The ‘RATs know that their illegal alien voter base is in trouble so now the bastards are going after the kids. They rely heavily on those with undeveloped minds to vote for them.

Bet he had plenty of security for his visit. Let’s just ignore which kids are causing the trouble, shall we? The truth is not PC.

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, Communist Idiot-Conn., has no business talking about ‘safety’.

Murphy worked with the other Obamunists to transfer billions of dollars of aid and comfort to America’s enemies, the terror-supporting Iranian mullahs.

Chris Murphy wants to make it impossible for law-abiding American citizens to protect themselves and their families, while at the same time making it easier for the Iranians and their violent proxies around the world to kill Americans.

WTH is wrong with you, Chris Murphy? Why do you hate America and Americans so passionately?

A crime is a crime no matter where it is committed. What a dolt.
