In the high school I taught at we had an officer assigned there but he was great. Everybody felt safer with him there and would go to him if they had serious problems with another student targeting them.Rebecca deCocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168718846105012814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-68810902346274134642015-09-16T14:34:13.872-04:002015-09-16T14:34:13.872-04:00Yet another example of why police do not belong in...Yet another example of why police do not belong in our schools. They are trained to deal with criminals, not children. This is as bad as the 11 year old autistic boy, Kayleb Moon-Robinson of Lynchburg, VA, who was charged with felonious assault on a police officer because he didn't wait to be the last to leave his classroom:<br /><br />"Diagnosed as autistic, the sixth-grader was being scolded for misbehavior one day and kicked a trash can at Linkhorne Middle School in Lynchburg, Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. A police officer assigned to the school witnessed the tantrum, and filed a disorderly conduct charge against the sixth grader in juvenile court.<br /><br />Just weeks later, in November, Kayleb, who is African-American, disobeyed a new rule — this one just for him — that he wait while other kids left class. The principal sent the same school officer to get him.<br /><br />'He grabbed me and tried to take me to the office,' said Kayleb, a small, bespectacled boy who enjoys science. 'I started pushing him away. He slammed me down, and then he handcuffed me.' ”<br /><br />http://www.pri.org/stories/2015-04-10/how-kicking-trash-can-became-criminal-6th-grader<br /><br />Christine Langhoff<br /><br />laMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516322307725011313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-53218174479590728972015-09-16T11:37:55.676-04:002015-09-16T11:37:55.676-04:00If the WaPo article I read is to be believed (and ...If the WaPo article I read is to be believed (and I realize that could be a big "if"), there were several sue-able incidents. Officers repeatedly brought up his last name, they refused to let him call his parents, the school suspended him even though he'd done nothing wrong.Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.com
