After every school shooting, one of the most common solutions proposed by those against gun control is to put more cops, usually called School Resource Officers, on campus.
The problem is these school cops don’t make schools safer. In fact, research shows School Resource Officers make schools less safe.
America is at a crossroads on guns. While we fight to get Congress to enact serious gun control, we also have to fight against bad ideas that put children in our schools at greater risk.
