‘Some of the city’s most tireless and tenacious police reform advocates are Black women whose loved ones were killed by the NYPD.’
One advocate argues that the people slamming Mayor de Blasio’s handling of school safety are employing faulty data and objectionable logic.
It’s unfair to public schools that lack funding for art, music or updated books. It goes against the recommendation of the city’s security experts. And it might be unconstitutional. But other than that, the bill to provide public money for private-school security guards is a great idea.
