Legislators responded to the 2018 Parkland school shooting by hiring police officers in every elementary, middle and high school in Florida. The number of students expelled from school increased 43 percent. The number of police officers in schools is more than double the number of school social workers (1,414) and school psychologists (1,452). It’s a safe bet that the heightened police presence and the increased number of arrests for criminal behavior had at least something to do with that. I’m guessing the people who work at the Washington Post enjoy feeling safe at work because of good guys with guns in the building.
