Thanks for this, great article. What’s so terrible too, that the article points out, is that they don’t keep good statistics on how many kids cops arrest out of schools… in some states its worse than others, like in florida there was that case of a teacher calling the cops to arrest an 11 year old for refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance.
I used to have a good article that tried to identify some trends in how post-columbine massacre, when they started letting police into schools, its resulted in massive increases of student arrests, with no decrease in the trend of school shootings.
Of course the soon-to-be vice president of the US bragged about locking up mothers for truancy, michigan seems to be taking it from the other angle and locking up the kids instead.
I recall that there were cops in Columbine High before the shooting started
I think what was meant was that cops in schools became more commonplace post the shooting.
Back in my day, we were just smacked if we didn’t do the right thing. Nobody called the cops on some kid because they did something stupid.
They were just disciplined on the spot. A good smack or a whooping if it was called for.But since parents can’t or don’t even lift a finger these days, this is what the world gets. Now we have legal systems arresting kids for not doing homework or stealing a pencil. LOL

That’s called child abuse, and is probably the most cowardly thing imaginable.
Well, it happened to all of us. It was normal when we were growing up.
Times have changed now.
The thing is you don’t need to hit or incarcerate children to discipline them. It’s not an either-or situation.
