I agree completely. Yet these are the same kind of school administrators that expel students for leaving plastic butter knives visible in their cars.
We really can’t expect them to apply common sense to any situation, either in the best interest of student liberty, rights, or in this case safety. Big catch 22.
It is a catch-22 because on one hand if I had kids I would want their school keeping scumbags out. However I want the main function of school to be teaching my kids math and english not telling them they can’t play with knives off school grounds like the school officials are playing surrogate parents.
