EFF NO! if they do that, i'll just cut school.

Dearest Mayor Bloomberg,

Hi, how are you? So this is a letter written by one student, soon to be signed by many, letting you and the board of education know just how amazing your idea was to place metal detectors in schools. Scanning for weapons such as cell phones and ipods will definitely be effective in keeping our schools safe. I will be able to attend school knowing that I can walk through the halls without being brutally murdered with those little metal charms often seen on g-strings. Then again, the metal detectors are a random thing, so every other day that they aren't there I have to worry about someone shooting me in the face with a gun. Or, god forbid, murder with a cell phone. How dare a student bring a cell phone to school. I mean, come on, what kind of idiot gets kidnapped on their way home from school and uses a cell phone to call their parents so that they aren't killed and raped by some psycho?

People don't need cell phones for those kind of things. Duh.

Mr. Mayor, I completely agree with this idea. It's definitely an effective way to get every New York City student to hate you. I'm beginning to realize your plan of action in running our city, first get the firemen and every other union worker to hate you, and then move on to the kids. You're a sharp one. You're my role model actually, starting today I'm making everyone who enters my house go through a metal detector.
I can't trust my own mother, she owns a cell phone. And my own father owns an ipod. Satanic, I tell you. I've disowned my family for their evil ways of life. Music and communication just do not slide with me.

Then, and get ready for this, I've been hearing that students have been listening to MUSIC on IPODS? IN SCHOOL?! Outrageous. What nonsense is this, a kid listening to an ipod on his/her way to school and then placing it in his/her backpack until he/she gets out of school so that they can listen to it on their way home. Kids these days. That whole policy of "If we don't see it, we don't take it" is just a waste of time. Every child must pay.

Finally, I'd just like to give you a few ideas on how to further your "Let's protect our schools no matter how much everyone already hates me" operation. I would say making bulletproof vests, helmets, kneepads and elbowpads a requirement for school uniform would definitely keep our students safe. Or, even better, attaching pillows to the clothing of every NYC student. Shoes shouldn't be allowed either, because someone can get a serious concussion from being smacked in the head with footwear. Then again, isn't it possible for a child to rip off his/her shirt and strangle an enemy with it? Ban all clothing as well. Wait, can't someone strangle a person with their hands? We should definitely be getting rid of those too. Better yet, limbs should not be allowed in school at all.
So this is a thank you for being my hero.

Sincerely,
The World.

just something that has been circulating around myspace. i didn't write it though.
they're also planning to put in metal detectors in my school! i mean, WTF do they need it for? everyone in my school has a phone and if they just randomly decide to use the metal detectors, they'd have like 1,000 phones. and dozens of angry parents planning to sue the BOE.

i mean, a lot of people in NY go to school miles away from their homes. some people have to take the subway to school! parents give their children phones for a reason-safety. and if the BOE starts banning phones in school, then that just takes away the whole purpose!
