“I commend the students of East Ramapo for their non-violent demonstration to bring attention to their concerns and frustrations regarding the poor building conditions and severe spending cuts, which have negatively impacted their access to classes and programs essential to the quality education our state constitution guarantees them,” said Jaffee."
What an insult! Why else would she anticipate violence from minor school children, except to perpetuate a stereotype of their ethnicity, then commend them for not behaving like animals?
Then to pretend as if she never knew about the injustices being heaped upon those kids, when she knows precisely the game being played on them.
Assemblywoman Jaffee feigns relief that ethnic kids did not behave like animals as she would expect. Then claims ignorance that there may be laws being broken by the very people entrusted to care for these kids?
The kids walked out because they said.. no one is listening to them because no cares about them. Apparently, they are right. All they got was a commendation for not being the animals they feel they are being treated as.
The solution is clear. Hand-cuffs.

It is not uncommon for school districts and municipalities to offer inducements like this to bring in businesses that increase tax revenue.
