The Safe Space stickers in question are used in a school to indicate a person may enter the room and be protected from a dangerous situation and that, should police need to be called, that person may safely wait there until help arrives.
Dallas police have been distributing Safe Space stickers since last year, along with Dallas Hope Charities. Dallas Voice has one on its door.
But in Irving schools, the school board has determined, those stickers are perceived as a danger. The controversy over the Safe Space stickers began early this school year at Irving’s MacArthur High School.
