More and more US schools have police patrolling the corridors. Pupils are being arrested for throwing paper planes and failing to pick up crumbs from the canteen floor. Why is the state criminalising normal childhood behaviour?

If this was protocol while you were in school, how many of you would have been arrested? I would have been arrested about every other day. This is an amazing story.

Psh, this was a thing in my middle school…..a decade ago. Walking through metal detectors, getting wanded and having your backpack/locker searched was a regular thing, they even stopped us from wearing certain clothes because they “resembled gang attire” humpf.

    JFC. Really? I am so sick of this. We’re turning this country into a police state.
