3. Mayor's public duty neglect
there should be general guidelines which govern child safety issues in locations where children can be expected to gather such as a public school. These guidelines should apply all the time, as part of the normal ordering of advanced regulatory society. These guidelines would govern cleaning contractors, building contractors, caterers etc.
In this context, depending on security assessments, background checks should be done to factor in all sorts of dangers to which children might be exposed, the most obvious being adults who prey on children to satisfy depravity & perversion but also, given the political context, it might be reasonable to ask questions about political affiliations of a given contractor, to assess possible risk., whatever the contractor's ethnicity or religion. This should be done all the time and not as some kind of racist knee-jerk response which is really serving an entirely different purpose than keeping our kids safe.
Mayor should go if he's letting our kids go to schools without the necessary checks and balances in place which, by all appearances, is what has been happening up until his racist outbursts were made public
