one of a thousand different ways where unequal behaviors, attitudes, and cultures of humans is framed as racism. Because the more direct and obvious explanation is disallowed.

They are obviously sexist, too. Nobody ever brings that up…

Brings up a question, though... What level of security should schools have?
A lot of city schools have them. Nobody would think of it here, 7 miles north.

Metal detectors at schools sound absurd to me.
It would be a reason for me to move elsewhere. I don't want to live in a place where this is necessary.

I agree and had we stayed in the city he’d have gone private.

In the city? Metal detectors + armed law enforcement.

My father was a high school headmaster in Boston in the 70s.
He had metal detectors in his school.
And I remember a couple big boxes in our basement full of knives. The detectors worked.
