Illinois law bans police from ticketing students for breaking school rules – WAND (Decatur)

"The goal of the bill is to basically say that if it is minor enough to be a municipal violation like vaping or minor fights, keep it in the school," said Aimee Galvin with Stand For Children Illinois. "School is a unique environment for discipline, unlike a business. If something happens at Walgreens, they don't have an after-school detention or say you can't come to the dance."

If the schools become seriously crime ridden and the schools take care of these problems in house, who gets sued when someone is murdered or maimed ?

Let’s go 100% cops out of schools and student lives. Let the admins deal with the ramifications of depolicing and those little darlings.

Because we need to have habitual trouble makers and those that can’t follow basic rules at after school functions.
