The president recommended arming teachers, while one parent suggested that undercover police officers pose as teachers and school staff. Several parents called for more security officers at schools. There’s an abundance of evidence suggesting that more school security means more vulnerable students getting funneled at an early age into the criminal justice system. In 2012, black children represented only 16 percent of school-aged children, but 31 percent of those arrested. And when more cops are in school, these arrests are more likely to take place, even for minor misbehaviors.
