CHILDREN AS PRISONERS?
Editor: When did our schools become prison camps?
With each passing day there are more school lock-downs, with commando-style
raids on our children. Police doing sweeps of the halls with their guns
drawn and attack dogs at their side. How much longer will it be before one
of our children are hurt, or worse killed, by the actions of our law
enforcement? Our kids forced into mandatory drug test, but not tested for
alcohol. Why is this?
Our children are students, not prisoners! Why have the states gone to such
great lengths to treat our children as prisoners and our schools as
prisons? Could it be that the U.S. holds the highest incarceration rate in
the world, and they are preparing our kids for their future?
