[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want metal detectors in MCPS schools.[/quote]

Why not?  What is the big deal?[/quote]

[b]Because it doesn't make schools safer, but does make schools more prison-like.[/b]

Also because it costs money that would be better spent on almost anything else.[/quote]

Told you. This is the line white liberals trot out every time.

You know what also makes schools more prison-like? Kids bringing guns and other weapons to school.[/quote]

Maybe you could provide evidence that metal detectors are effective at making schools safer. Without quoting a "school safety consultant" whose business is selling security-theater products to schools.

[b]Also, no, kids bringing guns to school doesn't make schools more prison-like.[/b][/quote]

You're not seriously taking the position that the defining characteristic of a prison is that there are clandestine guns there?[/quote]

I didn't take that position. You took the position that guns in schools doesn't make them prison-like, but having weapons detectors does. You need to substantiate your claim. Not me.

Most people don't think airports are prison-like and we have weapons detectors and body scanners there too. But for some reason, for you, the weapons detector is an unviable solution for schools because it equates to some vague criteria you've failed to define that makes it "prison-like."

The ball is in your court.[/quote]
