Maryland Parents Demand Schools ‘Defund’ School Resource Officers

The Montgomery County Parent-Teacher Association in Maryland is pushing a resolution that would defund all student resource officers from public schools. 

According to a copy of the resolution obtained by The Daily Wire, the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is calling on the Montgomery County Public School district to “discontinue placing police officers, [or student resource officers], on every high school campus.” The PTA also calls for the district to reallocate the money spent on student resource officers to mental health services and “restorative justice” practices.
