Gun control advocates often bank on scaring people into supporting their agenda. That’s how they’re fighting a “reciprocity” bill that requires concealed handgun permits to be honored in all 50 states — just like driver’s licenses.

WHEREAS, in the 2011-2012 school year, the Department of Juvenile Justice reported 1,062 school-related arrests
in Broward County, the highest number in the state.
71% of these arrests were for misdemeanor offenses. Over half
of those students had never been referred to the Juvenile Justice System before.
WHEREAS, across the country, students of color, students with disabilities and LGBTQ students are
disproportionately impacted by school-based arrests for the same behavior as their peers.
WHEREAS, The Florida Legislature “encourage[s] schools to use alternatives to expulsion or referral to law
enforcement agencies by addressing disruptive behavior through restitution, civil citation, teen court, neighborhood
restorative justice, or similar programs” and has instructed school districts “that zero-tolerance policies are not
intended to be rigorously applied to petty acts of misconduct and misdemeanors, including, but not limited to, minor
fights or disturbances.”
WHEREAS, with a joint commitment to ending school-based arrests for minor misbehavior, school districts and
law enforcement agencies across the country have improved school safety, school engagement and academic
achievement. The parties to this agreement are confident that by working together, they can return Broward County
Public Schools to a culture of common sense discipline that allows all students to enjoy a safe and effective
education.
They don’t miss any facts. They ignore them.
