I mean they’re not just pulling this out of their ass. Presumably consumers have been asking for regulation and a local govt is using their power to help.

Education isn't designed to educate, it's designed to sort and grade.

It filters for people who are ideal cogs in a 19th-century factory.

I’ll wager you’re not in the US Southeast. I remember this ‘up North’ but nothing like this exists in many, many states.

Problem is, once it becomes a pattern, stupidity is no longer an adequate explanation.

Fascinating read, thank you. I was really under the impression that shootings were a thing in the US since public schools, honestly. I can now better understand why the problem is so divisive.

I think you deserve more lines, but the only thing that comes to my head is that the sense of defeat on dealing with this issue is what has made me believe it was a thing since the 19th century.

Dean of restorative justice was one of the people that got shot.

A pattern of “stupidity” that benefits the “stupid” can be assumed to be malice, though.

You’re just making wild assumptions though. We know for a fact a gun was involved. Everything you’re saying is just wild speculation that fits your worldview

Then there is the race thing. Predominately white school districts booting predominately young black men always causes problems.

A lot of redditors are landlords. Unsurprising since landlords dont do anything all day so they have plenty of time to browse reddit

He was on a behavioral plan that required him to get patted down by admins before he entered the school, and he shot two admins in the leg yesterday while that was happening (Dean of culture, and Dean of Restorative Justice).

It's also been revealed that he was expelled by near by Cherry Creek school district last year, so I think that he has had a long history of problems and East, which is a fairly prestigious school in Denver, decided that they could work with him without law enforcement involvement.

This is all following a fatal shooting a block away from the school a month or so ago, a student protest that followed, and several other incidents at the school.

But the bigger issue is that Denver schools are poorly run, have terrible admins, hemorrhage teachers by the dozen, and don't pay anything, so the superintendents solution that will bring an SRO to every school in the area, won't solve the pernicious structural issues here, and the community doesn't trust the police because they are either shooting innocent people or doing absolutely nothing.

In short, this problem is a symptom a much larger issues because things have gotten really bad. And, as an educator, I want two questions answered: Why the fuck was this kid allowed at school if he needed pat downs? And what the fuck were the admins thinking?

reminds me of my cat who likes to dunk his toys in his water bowl before playing with them. i always wonder if he's trying to drown them

Thank you for the insight. It seems like school districts need more funding for building and employees. That seems to be a core issue across the country.

It's not inconsistent to want gun control and also have the sense that school districts have utterly failed at implementing any sort of functioning behavior modification system that is acceptable to progressives. Schools can't help with gun control. School administrations are directly responsible for keeping their students safe and part of that means controlling students with disciplinary measures.
