This retweet by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about Florida shows why libs oppose more security in schools
Samuel Sinyangwe, a “Black Activist” and “Data Scientist & Policy Analyst,” says school security measures taken in Florida after the 2018 Parkland shooting didn’t make students safer because those measures led to ~ checks notes ~ more arrests, more expulsions and more police in school:
Samuel Sinyangwe (@samswey) ~ Legislators responded to the 2018 Parkland school shooting by hiring police officers in every elementary, middle and high school in Florida. It didn’t make students safer. Instead, it led to this: http://washingtonpost.com/education/2020/09/03/there-are-now-more-police-officers-floridas-schools-than-nurses-student-arrests-are-rising/
Here’s what he linked to from the Washington Post:
* The percentage of youth arrests happening at school hit a five-year high of 20 percent.
* The number of students expelled from school increased 43 percent.
* For the first time ever, there are more police officers working in Florida schools — 3,650 — than there are school nurses, who number 2,286.
* The number of police officers in schools is more than double the number of school social workers (1,414) and school psychologists (1,452).
* Schools reported more than four times as many incidents of using physical restraints on students.
And this take was retweeted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
You know, arresting kids who do crimes at school is ... a good thing!
Yeah, well ... here's the dirty lil' "secret" about Democrats ... they want to defund the police and don't want cops in schools because they want their peeps to have no personal consequences for whatever bad behavior they want to exhibit - no matter if it is criminal or violent. Just like their lame excuses for the "fiery riots that were mostly peaceful." But, if any of their peeps' behavior gets too out of hand, too violent, then these Democrats will be the first to scream and lay the blame at the feet of law enforcement and Republicans. Democrats are infantile morons.
Joe Pags Pagliarulo (@JoeTalkShow) ~ Look at this lefty. What I don't see on this list is school shootings there. I wonder if it's because of the increased police presence in schools. I'm guessing the people who work at the Washington Post enjoy feeling safe at work because of good guys with guns in the building.
Well, Democrats are shameless hypcrites, so ...
But libs want even less security at schools:
Mallory McMorrow (@MalloryMcMorrow) ~ Research shows that overwhelmingly, hardening schools does not make them any safer, and instead leads to worse outcomes and worse mental health, and that legislators should work to soften schools instead so kids feel supported, not anxious and alienated.
It is also overwhelmingly shown that most criminal and violent troublemakers are constituents of the Democrat Party, so naturally, Democrats desperately want to coddle their lil' dears - don't want them to feel anxious or alienated while they're committing crimes for goodness sake! If that means Democrats feel the need to soften schools against murderous attacks that kill children, well ... Democrats are a-okay with that ... as long as they can blame someone else when the sh!t hits the fan, don'tcha know.
And they’re against security measures getting included in any new bipartisan federal legislation:
Susan J. Demas (@sjdemas) ~ A lot of centrists have been touting how Republicans and Democrats came together after Parkland on legislation. A bad bipartisan solution is not a good outcome.
Guys, believe what they’re telling you:
francesca fiorentini (@franifio) ~ More cops in schools merely criminalize students.
Yep, when Democrats come right out and tell you that they are heinous morons, believe them.
