A number of Brockton School Committee members say they want the National Guard deployed to Brockton High School to address a “disturbing increase in incidents related to violence, security concerns, and substance abuse,” but the mayor is against the measure.
Though Mayor Robert Sullivan said in a statement to the Brockton Enterprise that he opposes the use of the National Guard at Massachusetts’ largest high school, he forwarded the committee members’ request to Gov. Maura Healey.
Only the governor has authority to deploy the National Guard in times of emergency, whether they be natural or human-made disasters.

lthough I feel bad for the kids that really want to learn, I am not too broken-hearted that the social experiment has collapsed in such way that they believe they require the use of the National Guard to quell the mess they created.
It has been tried before; you know?
History is circular and ironic.
