Activists Protest To Keep School Resource Officers out of Prince George’s County Schools

On September 15, activists and community members gathered at the school to protest the presence of School Resource Officers — P.G. County police officers — in some schools throughout the county. Activists want police officers out of schools because they arrest Black children for minor infractions, contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline. Attendees used colored chalk to inscribe slogans (“Counselors No Cops,” “Police Free Schools”) on the concrete, and later marched while chanting “No Justice No Peace.”
