It must be something in the water. From Fox News:

Democratic lawmakers in Illinois have drawn up a piece of legislation that would give extra cash to schools that reallocate funds toward replacing armed security officers with unarmed social workers and behavior therapists. The controversial bill, proposed by Rep. Emanuel "Chris” Welch, D-Westchester, would offer grants to schools that use funds meant for school security and instead spend it on mental health services, including hiring social workers or implementing other practices "designed to promote school safety and healthy environments," as The Associated Press reported.

16 other Democrats in the House have backed Welch's plan. "This increased presence of law enforcement in schools does not necessarily enhance school safety," Michelle Mbekani-Wiley from the Sargent Shriver Center for Poverty Law told The Associated Press. "Instead it dramatically increases the likelihood that students will be unnecessarily swept into the criminal justice system often for mere adolescent or disruptive behavior."

A NOTE FROM TIM:

Now, many psychologists and therapists are a few cans short of a case themselves and so not only are the liberals wanting to leave schools unprotected they actually want to put people in there who are unstable. Great idea!  What could go wrong with that?

Oh, and while they are at it maybe they can hire chemists to make the school lunches for the kids. After all, if we are going to start turning everything inside out like that...
