How can a grown adult even suggest something so idiotic? Time for a new generation of leaders with adaptive leadership skills and courage. https://t.co/tPVQbd2hiy

We cannot expect school staff to be above problems present among trained police (⬆️)

Do not arm implicit bias with lethal means. Do not put students of color at greater risk of unjustified violence and death.

See the great independent data collection at #MappingPoliceViolence from @samswey et al

Some cops (or school staff) may be bad apples, but many are making (unfortunately) common mistakes.

A firearm in hand, however, means lethal consequences.

Some groups (eg Black males) are frequently mischaracterized as dangerous, and more frequently shot when unarmed... by trained police.

How can we expect better from school staff? Do NOT arm schools w #SB7026
