    @ProPublica@newsie.social Okay, I don’t know exactly what was happening in those specific situations, but it seems to me like “noncompliance,” disruption,” & “inappropriate language” are things to be reasonably expected of many kids in most high school classrooms; & hardly something a trained & competent teacher should need or want to call the cops over.
