We’ve already established the Free to Be Coalition nationally with events and efforts to protect free speech and viewpoint diversity on college campuses. Now we’d like to expand Free to Be to become a larger movement around protecting freedom in all areas of our lives.
A bill is going through our legislature right now, in the midst of grief from another shooting in Colorado, to let sex crimes slide, drug crimes go, property crimes pass, and auto theft happen for almost a million students in Colorado schools.
A school resource officer can NOT ticket or arrest a student who commits a long list of crimes. And they are biggies. Assault that doesn’t cause “too much” injury. Arson that doesn’t cause “too much” damage. Auto theft if the car isn’t worth “too much.”
Read that again, it’s shocking. And there’s more. My column this week does a deep dive.
Ultimately, this bill hurts the ones we love the most — our children. Especially the most vulnerable kids in school. It fuels bullying of all students by letting offenders off the hook. And neutralizes the school officers tasked with keeping everyone safe.
I know it's noisy in politics right now, but don't let this one slide through under the radar, it's bad.
