NRA's "School Shield" Call for Armed Guards Seen as Path to Further Crim...




http://www.democracynow.org - The National Rifle Association has unveiled the recommendations of its "School Shield" taskforce, calling for armed guards at every school in the country. We get reaction from Judith Browne Dianis, a civil rights litigator, racial justice advocate and co-director of the Advancement Project. Browne Dianis helped author the new report, "A Real Fix: The Gun-Free Way to School Safety," part of a week-long series of actions led by students in cities across the country to oppose the deployment of police in schools. "We know that more police means criminalization of young people, especially young people of color and LGBTQ youth," she says. "The young people they're there to protect often become the young people who are hauled off in handcuffs." We're also joined by Paul Barrett, assistant managing editor at Bloomberg Businessweek and author of "Glock: The Rise of America's Gun."
