I was recently commenting in another thread that school police forces are a bad idea, as it makes it too easy for school systems to sweep incidents under the rug. Having police / sheriff’s deputies on site who are not beholden to the school system is A Good Thing.
Here in GA, we have school police forces. I was talking with a Florida FReeper, and apparently they do not. It doesn’t mean things can’t get all screwed up by the sheriff’s dept. (see Parkland), but you at least have a better chance of things coming to light.
Yes, schools and universities have long demanded to be allowed to set up alternative law-enforcement reality distortion bubbles.

Yes, indeed. But what’s worse is that teacher unions are now complicit in the cover-ups. Our union leaders don’t want to talk about how unsafe the schools are. Instead they want to talk about things like gay rights and Climate Change
It’s maddening.
