Illinois House approves plan to replace armed officers in schools with mental health professionals



As if this move would surprise anyone. Heaven forbid we trim any other program or staff from the budget to keep the guy with the gun there

The astronomical amounts of money's we pour into the public school system should be able to support both programs. Stop with the in-ground pools/college level Gymnasiums/Taj-mahal structures. Lets get back to teaching.

Illinois: a shining example of how to not do things.

Well, they know that school shootings are rare, regardless of what they say. So, they can say, "See, no shootings. We solved the problem."
Well, at least until they role snake eyes.
I guess then you throw the therapist at the maniac, and hope for unicorns and rainbows.

That movie is up there with Idiocracy as fiction-turned-documentary. My wife thought it sounded stupid but when I finally got her to watch it we had to pause it for her to catch her breath from laughing so hard.

I wonder which profession pays better, cops at schools or mental health professionals at schools? Maybe somebody is doing a better job of working the legislature for their groups employment.

Always follow the money

I think they should do the same at the Illinois State House. I know they need mental health professionals more than they need guards

Maybe they should rethink their "what if's".

Facts and Logic have no effect on the great state of Illinois !

Just look at the number of businesses that have fled the state and the state want’s to raise business taxes again?

1 out of 3 tax dollars go to teachers pensions!
