Some Los Angeles parents are putting up a fight against the city's most progressive activist groups, with violence in the school district nearly doubling since police were removed from school campuses following the riots over George Floyd's murder in 2020.
Maria Luisa Palma, a member of the Parents Advisory Committee in Los Angeles, organized an independent petition in February calling for the return of police on school campuses as district data revealed that violent incidents rose from 2,315 in the 2018-2019 school year to 4,569 in 2022-2023.
"We've seen a huge increase from our kids," Palma told Fox News Digital in an interview. "We hear constantly how there are fights and open drug use in the bathrooms. We see the proof in the data … so we have more clear information. This is out of control as we hear from our kids."
Palma's petition has gotten more than 2,500 signatures so far from parents from over 300 schools and all seven board districts. She said "the more, the better." There is no cap on signatures.
In 2021, Students Deserve, a progressive grassroots student organization advocating for the abolition of police in schools, pressured the LAUSD and the school board to divest money from the Los Angeles School District Police.
The group argued the presence of police officers on school campuses often led to the criminalization of students, particularly those from Black and brown communities, and contributed to a hostile and intimidating environment that hindered learning.
"We want schools to divest from criminalization and policing," the Students Deserve website states. "We want schools to invest in us as Black, Muslim, undocumented, indigenous, and queer youth in poor and working class communities of color."

Unicorns.
It's like Mad Max world out there.
Not yet, pretty soon most likely.
According to the toxicology report St.Floyd had stuffed Fentanyl up his ass, or swallowed, whatever. He was a dead man at that point. Not “murdered”, why do people at Faux News write crap like that? Clown world.
Um, OK.
Let us know how you expect to get both done at the same time.
The other option: Fix your own cultures yourselves.
Or you could just homeschool your kids and keep them out of those cesspools.
Police in schools make thugs feel unsafe when they swarm weak students and film it for social mefua clout. Is that why they don’t want more cops there?
You gotta remember, a lot of these parents are children of red diaper babies themselves.
“Palma’s petition has gotten more than 2,500 signatures so far “
And how many students in the school? The teacher’s union is laughing at you.
My granddaughter’s 12-year-old friend committed suicide three days ago because of being bullied in school. The school was told about the bullying, but they ignored it. The parents should have pulled the kid out.
Melanated peoples.
>The other option: Fix your own cultures yourselves.<
You may be making a false assumption that the Students Deserve group of racial bellyachers are black. Odds are, from observations of BLM, most are entitled fat white girls.

Sorry, dear. The school systems are in the business of investing in dues-paying union employees. If they had their way, there wouldn't even be an actual school: just a lot of employees earning salaries and paying union dues.
Here....from the article.
"We want schools to divest from criminalization and policing," the Students Deserve website states. "We want schools to invest in us as Black, Muslim, undocumented, indigenous, and queer youth in poor and working class communities of color."
but defund the police
Is there an accepted term for that kind of social pathology?
Teaser headline is clickbait. Getting tired of it. I won’t fall for it.
