LaLa Land school board cuts 33% of cops; replaces them with "climate coaches"

The Los Angeles Unified School Board believes that cutting the police force by one-third as in "defunding the police," and using that money to hire social workers, "climate coaches," and restorative justice advisors will make the city safer from miscreants makes as much sense as trying to argue with frigid weather in Texas. Perhaps that's what "climate coaches" are best suited for.

The bone-headed move will eliminate 133 LA School Police, including 70 sworn police officers, 62 non-sworn officers, and a support staff member, which will leave the entire department with a less-than-whopping 211 officers, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The "climate coaches" are to replace police officers in secondary schools. They will be community leftists who, according to the Times, "will work to promote positive school culture and address implicit bias."

"Johnny, put that knife down and leave Billy alone--how does he make you feel? Use your words; use your words!"

The police will no longer patrol school campuses but will only respond when it's too late to impede crime. The social workers will, however, be highly skilled in talking about it and the "climate coaches" will talk about the weather as a way of changing the subject and offer alternatives to the kids of burning fossil fuels.

The union representing school police blasted the move in a statement Wednesday, warning the board's decision "will place our children and staff in harm's way."

But for the left, socialist policies will always obfuscate the needs of our Billys and Sallys.
