Our policing system is broken. Everyone knows this. Politicians know this too. But unfortunately Republicans tied even the most modicum changes to "rioting".

On Monday, Popular Information reported that the Manatee County School District instructed teachers to make their classroom libraries inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution.
