This spring action switchblade was allegedly used by Abel Cedeno, 18, to kill Matthew McCree, 15, at Urban Assembly School of Wildlife Conservation in The Bronx in September 2017.
We’re talking, of course, about the shift of school-safety oversight from the Police Department to the Department of Education, reversing the shift from 20 years ago.
As Susan Edelman reported in Sunday’s Post, it’s a recipe for disaster. “It’s something the DOE doesn’t do well — security,” warns Gregory Floyd, head of Teamsters Local 237, which represents 5,035 school-safety agents.
Indeed, the old system saw the DOE’s predecessor bureaucracy hiring agents who turned out to be gang members, pedophiles and other nightmares.
Chancellor Richard Carranza greeted the new deal with a vow to start training school safety officers in “de-escalation, implicit bias and restorative justice.”
Yet one Manhattan teacher and public-school parent told The Post, “The idea of restorative justice does not work,” and the move “will simply contribute to the deterioration of the NYC public schools.”
To cover it up, warns City Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens), “They’ll fudge the crime numbers, just like they fudge graduation rates and grades.”
And it won’t even appease the “defund” crowd. All this “reform” does is make schools an “unsafe space” for kids — the last thing any responsible adult should want.
