I care about my kids and others who may be in harms way on a daily basis. Schools use to be a place where it was safe from violence and severe pressure. When I was in school the only pressure was whether or not I was wearing "belt hoops" LOL... who remembers that ???!!!! .. Some of us are in denial and yes there is a fine line between the liberties of all and yes as an African American male I am well aware of the racism that exists and the numbers unjustly jailed. BUT!!! like I said before we never thought our airports would be taking all the security measures they are now until 9/11......well our schools need to be more proactive. The NJSIAA just past a mandatory drug testing for all athletes that compete in post season play. I just say lets open up our eyes and stop turning our heads to what others are doing while ours are killing themselves and selling drugs to one another......... > > 2fine4u <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: So why haven't you had the electronic chip, inserted in your arm, huh? > No different, than metal detectors?
