An excellent example of the Twisted Twenty-Twenties. Thank you. That was a terrible thing those police did. And were they all dismissed from the police force? I don't recall any meaningful punishment for any of them. Is this in fact how the idea of "to serve and protect" has been twisted, so only the wealthy and politically powerful are served, only they are protected, and nobody's children are safe in the schools from outrage and murder? I would recommend that Americans tear down the public schools and, as my late friend L. Neil Smith recommended, sow salt where they once stood, erect small monuments to the disgraceful ideology behind publik skooling and let nothing ever grow there again. There is nothing wrong with education or learning, but there is something terribly terribly wrong with the school "system." It is twisted beyond recognition.

How about a monument to John Dewey, with him wearing a dunce cap.

No punishment, that's right. The only thing that happened was the police chief of the ISD moved to a city councilman position. He was the one making the initial decisions not to enter the building. So they just moved him to another job.
