LETTER: District correct not to discipline school police officer in Durango incident
Kudos to Clark County School Superintendent Jesus Jara for not caving to the pressure and unwarranted demands that discipline be brought to school police officer Jason Elfberg for merely performing his duties (Friday Review-Journal). ACLU legal director Christopher Petersen has it backward when he bemoans the asinine assertion that keeping the lieutenant employed may “potentially endanger other students.”
If the ACLU and NAACP would take the time to exam the facts of the case and not react on skin color alone, they would realize that Mr. Elfberg was there to protect the other students that day. The demands for transparency and frivolous lawsuits filed against the the district are once again beating the drum to garner attention instead of focusing on the root cause of these issues.
