People in Montgomery County believe that all students should be safe in schools, regardless of their race, which school they attend, or their academic performance. But after a tragic shooting at Magruder High School, some people are pushing for a “solution” that will harm Black and brown students especially, without making any students safer: expanding police presence in Montgomery County Public Schools.
