WIRES CROSSED

Re: "Forget math and English texts -- lockers are for drugs," Naomi
Lakritz, Opinion,
April 30.

Naomi Lakritz is absolutely right. I recently read that the teenage
brain is cross-wired, which explains the poor decisions some teenagers
make. The Supreme Court's ruling regarding sniffer dogs in schools
leads me to believe that perhaps the Supreme Court is comprised of a
bunch of teenagers, which would explain their poor decision in ruling
that sniffer dogs be kept out of schools.

I think it's time for Lakritz to become a member of the Supreme Court
to teach them some common sense for the common good. It must be very
demoralizing for the police to do the right thing, only to have it
slammed by the Supreme Court. It must make them wonder why they
bother. Where are the responsible parents, and why are they not
shouting from the rooftops that if there are drugs in the lockers of
their children's schools, that they want them removed? Unfortunately,
there are not enough Canadian parents like the Schallenbergers who
will stand up and do the right thing.
