Yes let's put more power-tripping, feral hogs around our children.
the calculus politicians in the US do regarding gun violence and public education is decoupled from public goods. i just want to emphasize the opportunity cost of this move: imagine every district getting a pair of social workers instead of an armed bully with arrest powers.
To add to this: the political risk is asymmetrical, because if Whitmer keeps the SROs, a school shooting happens anyway, and the on-duty SRO fails to prevent it, almost nobody will blame Whitmer.
