Baltimore parents terrified of ‘school-to-grave pipeline’ as violence worsens
Nineteen Baltimore public school students were shot and killed in the past year. Parents tell Fox News they fear schools are becoming hotspots for gang activity and violence.

BALTIMORE – Some parents fear sending their children to school as Charm City faces a surge in youth homicides and shootings.

"The school-to-prison pipeline — or really the school-to-grave pipeline — is really real in Baltimore City," Jovani Patterson, who has two young children, told Fox News.

'CLEARLY A COVER-UP': BALTIMORE PARENTS FIGHT BACK AGAINST CITY SCHOOLS AFTER RAPID ACADEMIC DECLINE
 
Baltimore City Public Schools held a ceremony last week remembering the 19 students shot and killed within the past year. The youngest victim was 8 years old. The previous year, gunfire claimed the lives of 12 students.

Some of the shootings occurred on or near school grounds, while others happened elsewhere in the community.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Unfortunately for him and the students, politicians (especially democrats) don't give a sh*t what he thinks or his concerns. **nononono*

You can only effectively vote with your feet. If you love your children, you have to leave. No excuses.

Dems won't do anything because they take Baltimore residents' votes for granted.

GOP has an opportunity to make inroads to urban centers by emphasizing improvement of quality of life issues - public safety, education, healthcare, etc. - via competent, responsive, and accountable government to be offered by Republican candidates and elected officials.

RINO snorts:

In Bal'more ???
Not.
Gonna.
Happen.

You've a very short memory, RINO.
Don't you remember a couple of election cycles back, when that attractive black gal ran for office in Baltimore on the Republican ticket? With great ads?

She. Got. Trounced.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Still hung up on 19 school students in one year.

Since 2000, The whole State of North Dakota has only matched or exceed that number of homicides for five of those 22 years (2023 isn't done yet).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
