There is only one man who can spin the fact that 11,152 calls to police were made from Milwaukee Public School system schools last school year into a “non-crisis”. Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present the new press secretary for Milwaukee’s Mayor, Tom “Milk Carton” Barrett, Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, who has a world-exclusive quote on the news of the day from MPS –
“There is no crisis here. Those 60 calls per day
to the Milwaukee Police Department are really
misdirected calls to Domino’s Pizza.”
When children who are legally mandated to attend public education enter the environment they should be acclimated to what behaviors are acceptable. Unfortunately, they are not. The unacceptable behaviors of some children and failure to academically achieve are annually overlooked until the behaviors result in situations that allow MPS authorites to call in the gestapo. I’m sick of hearing teachers report that it’s the parents. School is the under the environmental control of the teachers and administrators when they don’t, won’t, can’t, for a whole gamet of reasons control student and classroom behaviors education and develop suffers. The schools failures are our criminals of tomorrow. Teachers and administrators should be held accountable for these failures not have the ability to turn large numbers of children with remedial needs over to the criminal justice system via calls to the police.
