For starters, my heart grieves for the child who was violently attacked by a cop at school. #AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh

For the folks that think we need cops at schools because "scary gangs"? Let's tease this out.

It's children of color who are systemically labeled "disruptive," ok? And that comes with consequences.
#AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh -
One of the consequences is being sent to detention—where kids who are labeled "gang members" are hanging out.
#AssaultAtSpringValleyHigh -
The kid who's labeled "disruptive" is now hanging out with "gang members." Suddenly, they're "gang affiliated."

Meanwhile, the BIGGEST gang is out really running things. They wear colors, too. They're called the police.

We don't need cops in school. We need good food. Well-paid teachers. Activities outside of test preparation.

Did I just read that this happened in a math class? As if black girls aren't sufficiently terrorized in math.
