A new California bill would require K-12 schools statewide to have at least one armed officer, also known as a school resource officer or SRO, on campus during regular school hours and other times students are present.
The American Civil Liberties Union has previously spoken out against having permanent police officers on public school campuses after a 2021 study detailed the dangers of having more police officers at public schools.
The report found that Black students’ arrest rates are 7.4 times higher, Latino students’ arrest rates are 6.9 times higher, and students with disabilities’ arrest rates are 4.6 times higher in schools with assigned law enforcement than in schools without.
The report also noted that Black, Latino and students with disabilities also had higher law enforcement referral rates.
“No school in California should have a permanent police officer. School districts should not be able to create their own police departments or reserve forces, nor should they coordinate with any outside law enforcement agency to station law enforcement on a school campus,” the organization recommended at the time.

If you don’t want to be in class, fine!
Attempts to force a traditional post-elementary education on a low-IQ high impulsivity population are first of all doomed to fail and second of all will require increasing levels of coercion, especially of males, as their age increases.
The obvious answer to preserve some semblance of education after eighth grade is entrance exams for free high school - if your IQ is too low or you don’t want to go, that’s fine.
High school isn’t prison, it’s time to stop running it like one.

It’s important for understanding the story what ‘students with disabilities’ really means. They aren’t really talking about kids in wheelchairs, but rather with kids who have been ‘diagnosed’ with mental and behavioral problems. For example the student beat the teacher’s aide into unconsciousness was ‘disabled’. So was the dress-wearing boy who raped girls in the girls restroom.
Schools are not legally allowed to severely discipline such students if their behavior is connected to their disability. My favorite is Oppositional Defiance Disorder. That means the kid doesn’t like doing what he’s told to do and acts out accordingly. If you tell him to not use his phone, he punches you in the face.
If there is an L.E.O. they might actually arrest the precious ‘disabled’ child and we really can’t have that, can we?
“The report found that Black students’ /arrest/crime rates are 7.4 times higher, Latino students’ /arrest/crime rates are 6.9 times higher,
arrest? ...... crime seems to fit better
.... and ........ that's racist

All of that and also sometimes they are called disabled when they come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
I wouldn’t send my child to such a hellhole school.

So to some extent, high school is prison and the staff and the inmates treat it like one. You have to feel sorry for the kids who want to learn who find themselves in such a school.
You are correct in this reality!
One of the main functions of public schools today is to ‘keep them off of the streets’.

What? I thought the California position was that guns are bad.
AT least they aren’t asking the Parents to teach their children the difference between Right and Wrong.
Guns? Shouldn’t the schools be screaming bloody murder over this? Oh sorry this is to protect the school officials. Never mind
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Why on God's green earth would someone send their kids to schools these days?
If they are so violent and crime ridden that they need armed resource officers, it's no place to make your kids go.
A fancy term for *a brat that needs some good firm discipline*.
I just want to puke every time someone tells me with a straight face that their child has been diagnosed with that *condition*.
There was another school somewhere in blueville that wanted the National Guard brought in things were so out of control.
I noticed, during the two decades I was teaching in urban high schools, that black students exhibited a pronounced negative reaction to any constraints put upon their behavior. It was like they had never been told "NO" in their lives and were free to do or say anything they wanted. An inability to abide by the fairly simple rules required to participate in high school pretty much doomed them to failure, even if the corrupt NYC school administration required teachers to pass them anyway to preserve the fallacy of good passing statistics for a school. So say you told these ferals that they could leave school, since they resented any restrictions placed on them and weren't learning anything as a consequence---what then? You are releasing a large number of illiterate, numerically ignorant, totally undisciplined thugs into society. The police will certainly be involved at that point. So wouldn't it be better to have some discipline imposed by a police presence in the school (as well as a heightened level of safety for fellow students and teachers) EARLIER in their lives? Libtards are so extremely short sighted, failing to see the consequences of their ill conceived idiotic notions.
This is a radically expensive proposition for a state that can’t afford it.
I feel myself so lucky. I went to high school in the bad old days of segregation in Washington DC at Central Hight School (now called Cardozo Educational Campus). We had a cadet corps in which we marched with rifles (firing pins removed). Cadet offices and first sergeants wore swords they brought to school on the busses and streetcars like my brother’s high school rifle team brought their .22 target rifles. John Philip Sousa had written a march for for the cadets years before about the time my mother went there. I studied French, English and English literature, art, history, biology, chemistry, government, geometry and college algebra (calculus and Latin and other languages were offered). When I went to college, it was a breeze. Just like more high school. Grade school was a bit different.
I say release them to the streets.
Their level of education can be determined by the amount of lead they can absorb!
