Growing number of NYC students feel unsafe as gang activity, bullying uptick in schools: survey
 
While Chancellor David Banks painted a rosy picture of the Big Apple’s public schools this week, the results of a citywide student survey show a darker reality — with a growing number of kids saying they are bullied, unhappy and unsafe.

Of 355,105 K-12 pupils polled by the city Department of Education this spring, 51% said harassment, bullying and intimidation by classmates was common. Last year, 48% of students felt that way.

Gang activity occurred some or most of the time in school, 27% of students said, up 2% from last year.

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.

TFB.  Your parents keep electing the very people who are making you feel unsafe.  Go complain to them.
