Been saying that for years, Baron, and all I get is that I'm a right winger. I'm an Independent with mixed views on political issues. But I am also a mother who has had children in both public and private schools. As well, I have been in Catholic and public schools myself when growing up.

'Right Winger' isn't something I'd really ever consider calling you.
I'd love to be able to send my daughter to a private school, but I'm not wealthy and left wingers won't allow me a voucher. There are some advantages to having your child go to a public school rather than spending their entire lives sheltered in some private schools, but I guess that's an entirely different topic.

Yes, but you can take your child to another school and private schools compete for your dollars. Kids are pretty much stuck in a public school district. You don't know how really bad it is till you spend the day with a student and observe what they go through.

Not all public schools are created the same. I'm much happier with my daughter's school here in NC, and over the years I've found myself choosing where I live based on the quality of the public schools.

I'm for filing criminal charges.

Against whom and what charges.

Remember what these officials were looking for in the first place was freaking Motrin!

The school had a 'no tolerance' policy, so seemingly the officials had no choice but to enforce it. A policy like that doesn't discriminate based on what drug...

If a school official suspects a child has real street drugs, they should call the police.

Once upon a time that policy would have led to frequent police lockdowns in some schools. In fact, I'm sure there are schools in certain places that quite often have a hint of mary jane in the air...
