Teachers’ union warns of violence from relocating St. Louis schools hit by tornado:
Violence could erupt this fall when students from tornado-damaged schools move into rival buildings, a union leader warned St. Louis Public Schools.
Students in middle and high schools can be territorial and “are willing to defend violently if necessary that claimed territory from students outside their respective neighborhoods,” said Ray Cummings, president of the American Federation of Teachers Local 420 in a letter Thursday to Superintendent Millicent Borishade and the St. Louis Board of Education.
I presume it’s a plea for funding and/or stay-at-home schooling.
But saying that the students are ungovernable delinquents, true or not, is a bad look.
