California school board votes to bring police back to school campuses following 'defund' movement
Fox News
A California school board voted unanimously last week to bring police back to campuses, just a few months after it decided to remove law enforcement from school grounds, arguing at the time that the money should be spent on student services, like mental health.
The agreement, which still needs to be approved by the Pomona city council, comes months after protests across the country called for defunding the police. But since students returned for in-person learning after COVID-19 shutdowns, schools are now dealing with fights and issues that police officers would typically handle.
"Please do not be bullied by a certain number of people who have the audacity to say that cops don't keep kids safe," M. Joyce Baker-Smith told the school board, according to Los Angeles's KABC-TV. "They do keep kids safe. They keep us all safe."
