At best. At worst it is a weak deception
To cover up an ingrained prejudice
For fear (again) of its present reception.
If you believe that we need cops in schools
And that that policy ought to resume
Next year, then why this year of different rules?
But if you recognize that the classroom
Should be a sacred, safe, protected space
Where every student has a chance to grow
Regardless of their class, their grade, their race,
Then I would hope by now that you would know
A cop's a hammer looking for a nail:
A schoolroom shouldn't pave the way to jail.
