A Brevard County, Florida school board meeting exploded on Thursday the week after local sheriff Wayne Ivey had announced in front of the county jail that students were no longer afraid of “having the cheeks of their asses torn off,” and called children “clowns.”
Others at the meeting, such as the South Brevard NAACP, pushed back on suggestions of heightened discipline. In a statement to The Daily Beast following the sheriff’s speech in early December, the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida urged the district to support students with mental health resources, “instead of promoting violent rhetoric and increasing school policing.”
Law enforcement officers already unjustly brutalizing people of color. SheriffIvey knows disproportionately disciplining students of color and w/ disabilities will occur in schools. Ivey was a Trump and MAGA supporter, which says a lot about him regarding race. Racism is alive.
Pushing measures that make public schools scenes of greater chaos and insecurity for all students, liberals are playing into the hands of right-wingers seeking to replace public schools with private schools, as parents withdraw their children from the former, for their safety.
This is a national problem…… kids are allowed to do whatever they feel like with no consequences
USA Facts lists Florida as having the 4th lowest average teacher salary of all 50 states and DC.
This is not unique to Florida. I quit 10 years ago for same reason and don’t regret it. Districts refuse to remove the trouble makers. I’m sure it is much worse today😔
