High school students need to know more about their rights to prevent situations that can lead to police misconduct. Including a short "Know Your Rights" seminar in a student's curriculum can educate them on how to interact with police officers as well as what boundaries they or the officer cannot cross.

SFUSD board members are still hiding behind bureaucratic excuses while our students remain vulnerable to police intimidation. I am tired of the runaround and will keep pushing until they admit that basic safety education is not optional. Do not let these officials ignore the reality of what happens on our streets.

ABOUT TIME. keep our students safe and informed.
So important for the youth to understand their legal rights before they turn 18. please make this happen
Practical life skills. Should have been part of the school day years ago.
this is so needed in SF schools. stop treating us like we are clueless. knowledge is power.
kids need this info asap. too many people getting into trouble just cause they dont know how to handle themselves during a stop.
I say yes

Finally. My brother was hassled by cops last year and he had no idea what he was allowed to say. This could really help.
