Milwaukee Public School Board Does the Right Thing on Handcuff Issue
Isn’t it amazing the difference an election can make?
The new Milwaukee School Board voted late Tuesday night to repeal the approval the prior board gave less than two weeks ago to allow handcuffs to be used by safety aides on out-of-control students. - MJS
While there are many things our Milwaukee Public Schools do need, being turned into a mini police state isn’t one of them. Personally, I’m happy to see the idea of handcuffs being used on children in our public schools tossed out the window.

Hey we agree on something!! :)
So, when is MPS going to get some police presence in the schools? I would be willing to allow handcuffs from, you know, police officers, but not from school aides. We had school aides in our day and allowing those people to “handcuff” a student is ridiculous.
