As Boston Teachers Join 'Black Lives Matter At School,' Some Local Police Criticize The Move

17:47

This week, Boston Public Schools educators are engaging in a week of action around racial justice as part of a nationwide effort called "Black Lives Matter at School."

We talk to Jessica Tang, president of the Boston Teachers Union, which adopted the initiative.

We also talk to Eddy Chrispin, president of the Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers, also known as MAMLEO, and Daniel Linskey, a former Boston police chief who is now the managing director for Kroll Security Risk Management practice and a fellow at the Duff & Phelps Institute.

This segment aired on February 6, 2020.
