THE CASE FOR PROP. 8

Editor -- Before learning is possible, schools must be cleansed of
weapons, drugs and violence.

I believe that Proposition 8 will free California schools from the
suffocating grip of drugs. Proposition 8 establishes the same
``zero-tolerance'' for the possession of dangerous drugs as it does
for the possession of guns or knives. Guilty students will be
immediately suspended and expelled.

I'm tired of my children having to attend public school with other
kids who use drugs. The time has come to make our public education
facilities safe for the children who want an education. When I look in
my daughter's eyes I can see that she deserves nothing less than a
drug-free school.
