A school district in Louisiana has had problems with someone showing up to their school with a gun and a bulletproof vest, so now they're going to try to pass legislation to ban bulletproof vests from schools. They claim they can't punish the kid severely enough under the current laws, so they want to figure out another way to punish the next kid who dares show up to school in a bulletproof vest. Sheriff Ricky Adams, who's behind this nonsense, states: "We question the need for bulletproof vests in schools in the first place." Uh, maybe because you have people showing up to your schools with guns? I understand that you might not want students bringing their own guns to school for protection, but why on earth would you keep students from wearing something that might keep them from dying next time someone shoots up a school?
Shreveport's got a violent crime rate 1.72 times the national average. I can't wait to hear the campaign speech for the wastes of space in the Louisiana House that let this get out of committee: "In my last legislative term, I took steps to keep your children from protecting themselves!"

I really, really don't want to be forced into homeschooling my kids. I really don't. I'm way too bitchy, but man, it's a bunch of fucking retards running the schools.
