Fist Fights in Missouri schools are now Felonies

[Doobie Doo]

The Missouri community is taking a stand to speak out against a new state statute that many believe will advances the "school to prison pipeline."





Residents in the state are rightfully in opposition to the new statewide law, that will provide for students involved in school fights to face possible felony charges instead of misdemeanors.



School To Prison Pipeline: Missouri Will Now Charge Students With Felonies For Fighting

Those jails won't fill/fund themselves.

I live in in KCMO and I saw this the same day my son actually got into a pushing match the day before yesterday with a boy who was making fun of other kids he was standing up for. SMH

These are situations where the federal government should interfere. Some of these state governments be on some insane stuff.

B B B But wait it gets worse.

Too bad we don't have anyone in the federal government who will fight against this kind of thing.

Wish we coulda like elected some sane people or something.

(I realize that Drumpf isn't prez quite yet but this kinda shyt is gonna go nationwide. Watch.)

I wonder wonder who is gonna be hardest hit by these felonies.

We already know the answer to this question.

If this law spreads to other states it's not gonna go well for our lower income communities.

Stop fighting in school

 

[Supercoolmayo]

No need to throw hands when you can type insults

 

[Matt504]

Stop fighting in school

This is clearly not a reasonable option.

Bet this wont be enforced in the rich white schools now will they???

White supremacy in overdrive.

I guess all this stuff is to put as many black people in prison before Trump and Co. Set up their white only "ethno-states".

On on the kansas side

This couldn't be more blatant.

I really don't think people fully recognize the impact of the election, and what it's going to do over the next few decades. Multiple republican controlled state legislative bodies, while Trump packs federal courts with right wing judges. This is not going to end well. Not to mention the emboldening impact that this has on racists in congresses throughout the country. They have a green light.

But "both sides are the same" right. fukking idiots set the country back a generation for nothing

That a good way to help teenagers to get back into school after suspension . Better yet make there future look even brighter.
