An unprecedented rise in violence being experienced in schools across the country has reached a crisis point even as officials continue to flood the problem with increasing amounts of taxpayer funds—raising questions among local activist groups over how resources are being delegated.

“The same handful of groups continue to receive hundreds of millions of tax dollars year after year, and we continue to see unprecedented violence on our streets and in our schools,” Tyrone Muhammad, executive director of ECCSC, a Chicago-based group promoting social change, told The Epoch Times.
