there actually is social media would get it's not large universal there's going to pick these few schools that predominantly have more you know brown skinned folks than white skinned folks and things that are there right and then the checks off the school to prison pipeline to graduate in chicago. there are several you that have that part with the kids who are all under it but just get the mauling and the how to deal with bullies or any other checklist that i'm thinking of right now there's lots of money wasted oh. so the chicago school district funded the program was about two point two million dollars in grants that came from the u.s. department of justice. and that was part of their comprehensive school safety admission of this is what happened so after sandy. you had a lot of people pushing to get something in the school so of course they were talking about research and that's where these things came and it wasn't supposed to be used for anything like equipment unless it had to do with research and so i'm not sure if this fits into that category but that initiative was axed so one of the things that's interesting is that it inc
