Schools across New York began the academic year with a new tool intended to prevent student suicides and violence: the ability to ask a court to remove a troubled person's access to firearms.
About a third of U.S. states have so-called "red flag" laws, which allow courts to temporarily seize guns from people believed to be a danger to themselves or others, but New York is the first to empower schools to petition a court themselves for such an order, rather than go through local law enforcement.
In New York, school principals are now allowed to petition the court for an "extreme risk protection order" requiring the safe storage of firearms the youth might have access to, such as a parent's gun. Supporters of the law say educators are uniquely suited to pick up on the kind of troubling behavior seen before school shootings, like the 2018 attack in Parkland, Florida, in which an expelled student killed 17 people at his former high school.
With the law so new, though, New York schools are still crafting procedures or waiting on guidance to help them figure out when and how to take action if the need arises. Several school systems contacted by The Associated Press said they're not yet sure what the law will look like in action.
Do they step in each time a student tells a guidance counselor he's feeling depressed and suicidal? What about if a student overhears a classmate talking in the hall or sees post on social media about wanting to shoot up the school? And when should a school still turn to law enforcement, rather than try to handle a petition themselves?

Next logical step is re-education camps. Watch The Killing Fields. Kids are AK47s were rounding up the adults and killing them.
Red Flag Laws are much more dangerous than trying to strengthen licensing because it removes all due process. They can arbitrarily “designate” anyone as unfit to have weapons and come and steal your weapons, even though you paid thousands of dollars. And there will be no recourse. So they can decide “conservatives” are dangerous, or “old people” are dangerous, or anything else. Even something as innocuous as some comment you made years ago on Twitter or Facebook. It won’t matter. They will find something and just steal your property. Don’t fall for the usual emotional clap trap.
Why stop with parents when neighbors, relatives, and friends may also have firearms that the deranged student can access.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Nope, they just won't get reported. They'll only report white kids.
“dept of ed “

I don’t have my glass on and I read this as, “dept. of red ed”.
Many people do not even know these laws exist. If you happen to be a victim, it would take mega-dollars to fight back against the state. And who knows how long it might take to go to state or US Supreme Court?
