Until recently, that was viewed as a marginal movement. This issue was highlighted in the 2017 film &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/futureforlearning.org\/media\/a-rose-in-la\/\">A ROSe in LA<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/296903533?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/296903533\">A Rose in LA<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/user71478411\">Future for Learning<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s often the fringe that starts the conversation,\u201d Brown said. \u201cPeople often laugh, call us radical, and dismiss us. That\u2019s where policing in schools was until just a few years ago. The embers were burning in places. But now, the fires are becoming central, and this work is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CJSF, along with their partners at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npesf.org\/\">National Public Education Support Fund<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/futureforlearning.org\/\">Partnership for the Future of Learning<\/a>, work to protect American public education. They argue that divesting from police and investing in education is \u201cboth a moral decision and a smart fiscal move.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A Knee-Jerk Reaction to Violence<\/h2>\n<p>According to Brown and Koppel, when communities are faced with incidents of violence such as school shootings and mounting crime, their immediate reaction is to bolster their policing and security infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s often a very knee-jerk reaction to violence and the threat of violence,\u201d Brown said. \u201cIt\u2019s short-sighted and it\u2019s not effective. When we invest in young people, we demonstrate our faith in their ability to one day lead us as a nation and as a global society. It pays dividends in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis is not a trend, this is a revolution.\u201d Aniya <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HelpStudentsBreathe?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HelpStudentsBreathe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TABSE_Texas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TABSE_Texas<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Julia Andrews (@DrJYAndrews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrJYAndrews\/status\/1269297171112890368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 6, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>A growing coalition believe that focusing on police and school budgets at the community level mark an effective way to enact change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBudget documents at the local and state levels often do not make clear how those investments translate into schools,\u201d Koppel said. As Koppel notes, many who take an interest in school and police finances focus on operating budgets. \u201cThere are lots of things buried in capital budgets that most folks are not aware of,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>One glaring example of this is school surveillance. Following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, many companies began offering camera surveillance arrays powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/how-effective-is-ai-based-school-security-athena-security-says-they-provide-an-extra-protection-not-a-silver-bullet\/\">AI systems that sought to recognize and identify a range of people and behaviors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These systems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minnpost.com\/community-voices\/2020\/01\/the-surveillance-industrial-complex-is-targeting-our-kids\/\">were being implemented in Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore this tragic loss of George Floyd and all that it represents, city governments were collaborating around a joint powers agreement,&#8221; Koppel said. &#8220;They were developing an algorithm to assign a risk ratio to young folks based on data points that had absolutely nothing to do with how they live their lives. If a child had a family member who had engaged or been involved with law enforcement or criminal justice system, that was a ding against that child. If they received free and reduced meals, that was a ding against the child. It was developing a profile of who&#8217;s going to succeed and who&#8217;s going to fail in ways that actually had nothing to do with those young folks. And that&#8217;s directly related to safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: Lorie Shaull, Flickr.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activists, stakeholders, and public education spokespeople from across the U.S. have called for communities to reevaluate the way they spend taxpayer dollars over the past week.

After studying English at McGill University in Montreal, he went to work full time as a freelancer while living abroad in countries such as Greece, New Zealand, and Vietnam. His journalism has been published by CKUT 90.3 FM, Montreal Rampage, Potent, and HNGN. He has also produced a series of audio interviews concerning Canadian poetry for Vallum: Contemporary Poetry. His latest work is Code Burst, a podcast that investigates a free coding bootcamp in the Appalachian region of the U.S. that seeks to retrain ex-coal miners for jobs in the tech industry, along with the promise learning to code offers more broadly.
