First, Oregon has failed to protect our school children from homeless camps and drug needle litter — now they can’t protect our children from rioters.

Recent conflicts between protestors and federal agents as ICE headquarters on South McAdam Avenue in Portland’s South Waterfront district prompted teachers and other staff at Cottonwood School to move into a leased middle school building for the safety of their students.  School officials saw munitions, chemicals and other dangerous items on the school playground after people opposed to agents rounding up illegal immigrants started protesting outside the nearby U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building. As the new school year approached and protests continued, school officials decided to lease the former Bridges Middle School building to serve Cottonwood students.
