I agree, this is conditioning an upcoming generation to trade their rights for safety. Combine this with locker searches and the kids think they have no right to privacy, privacy is dangerous and those that desire it must have something to hide.

There seems to be an uptick of this after school shootings, or after threats are made to schools. Sometimes the students vote it in, or the school board will. And it's not just high school students, some elementary schools have made it mandatory as well.
