BLUF:[Daily Caller] In a stroke of genius, they realized that the only problem criminals have is that people keep lists of their criminal activities. It’s the list that prevents them from getting into M.I.T. and designing space stations on Mars. Where they will cure cancer.
This primitive, stone-age thinking was made official Broward County policy in a Nov. 5, 2013, agreement titled "Collaborative Agreement on School Discipline."
The first "whereas" clause of the agreement states that "the use of arrests and referrals to the criminal justice system may decrease a student’s chance of graduation, entering higher education, joining the military and getting a job."
Get it? It’s the arrest ‐ not the behavior that led to the arrest ‐ that reduces a student’s chance at a successful life. (For example, just look at how much the district’s refusal to arrest Nikolas Cruz helped him!)
The agreement’s third "whereas" clause specifically cites "students of color" as victims of the old, racist policy of treating criminal behavior criminally.
