Predictable line of reasoning...

District data from the 2018 to the 2020 school year shows there were 2,537 calls of service to Des Moines middle and high schools with 654 arrests. The district also claims that in the past decade black students were almost six times more likely than their white peers to be arrested. Des Moines Public Schools says removing those officers doesn’t mean school will be less safe.

Followed with the retarded hopium...

The district would reallocate the $750,000 for the 11 officers in other ways that enhance safety in the classroom. Troja said, “If we invest in relationship building, community building, restoration, solving problems and investing in solving problems is key. Can we create a better outcome and a safer environment? We believe we can.”

If someone is disruptive to the education of others they should be removed.

The way I would do it is that you, of course, get a warning. Then you pick up trash and rake leaves. Then you pick up trash and rake leaves in a pink jumpsuit. Then you no longer come to campus. There could be alternative schools where you can learn the finer points of landscaping and housekeeping, or you just go home and aren't the responsibility of the state anymore.

I understand the idea that we should give everyone an education to make society better, but there are way too many who come out of the system without basic reading, writing, civics, and math; I feel this number could be reduced if we culled the bad actors, and if the remaining had to worry about the threat of being culled.

This is no different than the real world, if you aren't jailing someone for aggravated robbery, or if jails are just social time for shitty people, then nothing is going to change. Make being in poverty worse than being a contributing member of society, make being a criminal worse than being someone who doesn't cause trouble, make being a bad student worse than being a good student.
