The California State Senate voted Thursday to end a requirement that students who threaten violence against school officials be reported.
Before the California law was passed, existing law stated that whenever a school official is “attacked, assaulted, or physically threatened by any pupil,” staff was “required to promptly report the incident to specified law enforcement authorities.” The new bill repealed this requirement.
The law was endorsed by ACLU California Action. The organization called it a win for racial equality.
“Once students make contact with law enforcement, they are less likely to graduate high school and more likely to wind up in jail or prison. These harms fall disproportionately on students from marginalized groups: Black, Indigenous, and Latinx students,” the organization said in a statement.

Good timing on that, hey?
So, what is the down side for our side?
Whoever decided to do,this needs to be in a mental,institute, but first sued for further endangering students especially in light of what just happened.
I can’t be,eive how mental peopl,e have become these days- they truly are a danger to society along with the violent students or perps who threaten the schools. Every republicanmin California should be screaming out “are you friggin kidding us? You can’t be serious! You need to step down NOW!”

Well, then maybe they shouldn’t be attacking, assaulting, or threatening anyone in the first place.
I don’t know who many sensible people are left in California. But I sure do feel sorry for them.
I remember the Marjorie Stoneham Douglas HS slaughter. I also remember Sheriff Scott Israel of Broward County and seeing videos of him and his top lieutenant attending Muslim outreach get-togethers and all the 'Inshallahs' bandied about in the midst of their department campaign (along with the HS principal et al) to get to 'troubled' teens and keep them out of the system.
Yep, Israel and his department and the HS 'kept them out of the system'. Until they didn't. IIRC, there were over 20 incidents with the ultimate killer, none of them forwarded to the FBI and only the very last one was passed upwards - far too late.
This is what California is heading for.
This organization has publicly announced -- proudly so -- their own "systemic racism" with this statement.
They want more school shootings so they can justify taking away everyone’s guns.
Why, it’s almost like they WANT more school shootings.
So they won’t “red flag” a student who actually threatens a school shooting, but they want to “red flag” anyone reported to the government by an anonymous, unverifiable stranger?
In St. Louis, the NAACP is enlisting the help of the DOJ to investigate police pursuits, since they’re has been a rash of “runners” that have hurt or killed innocent motorists.
I mean, you could start by publicly speaking out about accepting responsibility and not taking off from the police in the first place.
They should just double the number of “Gun Free Zone” signs. That’ll take care of it. Right?
Whatever is good or smart, don’t do that. Whatever is bad or dumb to do, do that. That’s the credo of the unsleepy.
If you discount the tourists just passing through you could apparently count them on the fingers of one hand, and have fingers enough left over to pick up a coffee cup.
This is insanity. This decision is going to result in children getting killed. Guaranteed.
They cannot prevent the evil and/or mentally disturbed from getting access to weapons or manufacturing explosives/incendiary devices. No amount of "gun control" or anything else can prevent a determined kid from making that happen.
They cannot or will not effectively address the cultural and mental illness issues that lead kids down this path.
If/when an attack happens, many law enforcement agencies apparently have incredibly half-a**ed procedures for engaging such that it is basically all over before they go in.
The net result is they cannot seem to stop creating potential perpetrators. They cannot deny a potential perpetrator the tools. They cannot effectively deal with an incident when it does occur. The only hope of breaking the event chain that leads up to these kinds of tragedies is to get some intel on them before hand and head them off. This decision just cut the legs off of that.
Eh ???
> This decision is going to result in children getting killed. Guaranteed. <
Yes. And it will also greatly increase the amount of general, every-day school violence. Before this bill, thugs were at least somewhat restrained by the threat of police action. That threat is gone now.
Chaos in the streets will be matched by chaos in the schools. I truly pity those poor kids who come to school to try to learn something.
Too many urban Amish getting reported. Looked bad.
They end “Mandatory” reporting, but not “Selective” reporting.
They mentioned race throughout the entire debate, I wonder when little Orangejello or Taquinta make threats if they will be treated differently than Michael or Andrew will due to racial disparity they are trying to overcome.
If minority students are disproportionally affected by this reporting of violent threats it is because they are disproportionally making the threats.
Those who don’t threaten don’t get reported. DUH !
They make it sound like threatening students won’t graduate from high school if cops respond to their making the threats.
Those students who threaten school violence are not exactly those who care about their formal education. Besides, those who DO graduate often cannot read their own diplomas. They are functionally illiterate.
These troublemakers might as well be diverted early into Gang Warfare 101 rather than be coddled inside a public school where some students WANT to learn.
