Or, just do what the private schools that politicians send their kids to do: hire armed security.
“...hire armed security.”
I do not have a ready solution at hand for the problem. There are crazy kids attending public schools—crazy kids who may (or may not) do crazy things like shooting the place up. The schools are required by law to take them. If they really, really crazy—diagnosed by a medical professional, then they are handicapped and the school has to accommodate them and educate them in the least restrictive manner possible.
Teachers may or may not know that such kids have been prescribed drugs to control/modify their behavior—it would be up to the parents to share the info with them. HIPPA and all of that.
I had a student who was more than a bit “off”, who had access to firearms—his parents chose to give him guns and who had attitude as well. His mother was well aware of his rights as a ‘handicapped’ student. He was suspended often but always would come back. If someone was going to shoot up our school, we were pretty sure it would be him.
Then to the point of the article. It is now considered racist to notice that as a group black kids tend to misbehave more than others. Anyone who has taught in a school is therefore a racist. This is not to say that all black kids misbehave—far from it. But the percentage is much higher. If discipline is administered fairly, more black kids are going to punished than other groups. The last President believed that this was only due to racism, when in fact, it is due to what is really happening in the classroom. The whole “school to prison pipeline” narrative has turned reality on its head. Most bad adults were bad kids. Noticing that some kids are bad is not what turns them into bad adults.
