What????

“I’d like to echo what Mr. Crump said,” DeVries said. “Practically every safety conference I’ve been to in the last eight or nine years, leads off with what Mr. Crump said … that schools are the second safest place you can be — church is number one — and that (more than) 99 percent of the violence, homicide and abuse for our young people occur outside of school. It’s going to be at home or on the streets on in their cars wherever they go. It’s a terrible tragedy, but our schools are safe."

Later in the article, page 12.

So, I wonder. Is this the type of safety conference he's discussing? This organization, NASRO is comprised of........ public school employees who are in charge of ensuring school safety. Of course they are going to tell you that school is safer than anywhere else. (Well, other than church.)
