Liz King, the senior program director for education at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights said: "She thinks the guidance should reflect recent research showing police in schools don’t reduce gun violence but do increase suspensions, expulsion and arrests of students — especially for Black students."
Lying. I hoped that maybe I'd learn something, maybe even something counterintuitive. But no.

Perhaps lying to herself, and thus us as a downstream consequence.
So what was the lie?
I have no trouble believing that Black students get in trouble at a much higher rate when police are present in schools. The reason isn't discrimination; it's differences in the average behavior of the students.
We have a large cohort of ill-behaved, ill-disciplined minorities in public schools. They've been raised in a violent toxic culture and trained to be belligerent and entitled without any respect for authority. Many are just on a short stopover on their way to prison.
