Police in schools don’t make students or teachers safer but it does cause what would be a normal disciplinary issue in to a criminal one.

Kids in Oakland organized and got the police removed from their schools.

quoting note1fhy…wxp5

“Our progress in Oakland has shown us what works to transform local systems that punish Black youth and communities of color: Put young people, parents, and community members at the center of the work. Be bold and keep fighting for transformational change and not just incremental, feel-good actions. And claim every single community win. That is what will continue to inspire those who will come after us. That is what will ignite everyday, regular people to realize that we ourselves have the power to shift, change, and transform.”
