The same exact people who always harp on the “demilitarization” of the police have been the last two years finding ways to literally militarize everything. After militarizing hospitals after firing all the un-vaxxed personnel during a pandemic their latest target is the schools. This can’t possibly go wrong, can it?<\/p>\n

As officials struggle to keep schools open amid waves of the highly contagious COVID-19 omicron variant sweeping through the nation, New Mexico is considering deploying the National Guard to help schools, many of which have been forced to shift to remote learning.<\/p>\n

“We have a proposal I don’t think exists anywhere in the nation about what we can do about getting bodies who productively and safely can support our schools to stay open,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, said at a press conference last week.<\/p>\n

It is unclear what staffing shortages troops could possibly fill at public schools. Guardsmen serve in one of many occupations in the military, including infantry, mechanics and pilots. There is no position in the Army or Air National Guard that can qualify troops to be teachers, and a spokesperson for Grisham said using troops is a work in progress.<\/p>\n

Since the pandemic, the National Guard has had to juggle a near-constant barrage of domestic missions and its missions abroad. The unprecedented use of the Guard has the service component carrying a heavy workload responding to the pandemic, delivering food to low-income communities, administering tests and vaccines, and filling staffing shortages at hospitals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just one more round hole to shove the square peg of the National Guard into.<\/p>\n

I wonder if the people making such suggestions were also the ones making a stink about banning military recruiters from high schools?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
