This is so ridiculous. Course it’s been happening for decades in ‘hood’ schools, dead0
(to be clear, I'm making fun of the people who think this is ever a good idea, hood or no)
Well, yeah. You'd think this coming to better off suburban areas would finally mean some change because parents would be horrified... but a good amount of them aren't and parents with K-12 children represent the smallest amount they ever have since public schools became universal.
When I was in 12th grade, the principal had the upperclassmen pack into the auditorium to announce that random drug searches by dogs in the parking lot and locker bays would begin soon. Everyone booed and he was a bit taken aback and some staff started telling us to quiet down in a very off-putting tone... so everyone just walked out. They were honestly very surprised by that. But it worked. They said they'd only do it in the building and they would announce that it was going to occur the morning of... and then they ended up just never doing it.
The problem here is they are purposely going to isolate student groups into small enough groups that if they act en masse, they can easily punish them.
