Schools are already gun free ones.
Via WJ:
The Baltimore school board has rejected a proposal that would have allowed police officers assigned to the city’s schools to carry guns while patrolling inside school buildings.
About 90 specially trained Baltimore officers patrol the schools. They currently can have their weapons when they patrol outside of the building, but must store them when they are inside.
A state-level bill had been introduced to allow armed officers in schools, but after the school board’s 10-0 vote to reject the idea at a Jan. 22 meeting, Democratic Delegate Cheryl D. Glenn said she would withdraw her proposal.
Arming what are known as school resource officers was bitterly opposed on racial lines in a community that was divided by the Freddie Gray case, in which Baltimore police officers were accused of allowing a young black man to die in police custody in 2015.
The Obama-era Justice Department intervened to order changes in the police department amid allegations of institutional racism.
That past was very present as the board considered allows police access to their weapons in schools, The Baltimore Sun reported.
“The SROs are under federal consent decree,” said Kimberly Humphrey of the ACLU of Maryland.
