USC protests remain peaceful after campus is closed; LAPD calls off tactical alert
Bass has promised to bring 17,000 people inside who are now living on the street during her first year in office.

I've worked in a lot of schools where violence is a thing, even if a gun isn't involved. And that will happen more if they pass this," Shipman-Dorrance said. “I used to think they didn’t get it, but I honestly just think at this point, they're not hearing us no matter what. And that really, to me, calls into question ethically, morally, what are they doing and why." "We’re being blamed for putting guns in schools, but the purpose of it is to protect our children and that is often forgotten," said Rep. Sabi Kumar, R-Springfield. Republicans denied Democratic assertions that introducing more guns into schools will endanger children.
