A loaded 9 mm pistol was found inside a city school this week, renewing cries for police to be allowed back patrolling the hallways.
“If there are armed security at City Hall, the State House and Mayor Wu’s house — not to mention at elite, mostly white universities like Harvard and MIT — then the mayor needs to explain why white adults are protected while children whose only crime is being Black and poor are not,” said the Rev. Eugene Rivers, a vocal leader in Boston for neighborhood rights.
And on March 13 of this year, a girl was brutally beaten at Boston Arts Academy by a group of students who had been threatening to “jump” her, according to police. She was taken by ambulance to Boston Children’s Hospital, where she continued to receive threats via text to hunt her down there, police said.
“Mayor Wu uses as one of her marketing shticks that she’s a mother,” Rivers said. “So why would she deny children of color the same protection she wants for her own kids?”In 2020, police reform legislation ended the requirement for districts to have at least one resource officer in each school.
