L.A. School Board Rejects Stiffer Penalty on Weapons
Whatever happened to common sense, responsibility and accountability in our public schools? The board’s decision not to expel students bringing weapons to school sets a poor example and shows a callous lack of concern for students and teachers throughout the system. Like a disaster waiting to happen, the increase in campus incidents clearly indicates that guilty students as well as their parents should be made accountable, severely and decisively. There should be a definite plan of action in place now. Do Medflies have a higher priority than our students?
