for pointing a chicken strip
at a teacher in the cafeteria.

The eight-year-old
was fooling around with a friend
:42:05
at lunch last week when he
pointed a breaded-chicken finger
:42:08
at a teacher and then said:
"Pow pow.
:42:10
- He pointed a folded piece
of paper shaped like a gun,
:42:13
and told his classmates
he was going to kill them
:42:15
during a game
of cops and robbers.
:42:17
- If this isn't a warning sign,
then what is it?

- This Virginia high-school
student spent a month
:42:23
out of classes,
originally sent home
:42:24
for dying his hair blue.
- A high-school honour student
:42:27
from Michigan could be expelled
later today
:42:29
in a school-board hearing.

Seventeen-year-old Jeremy Hicks
wore a Scottish
:42:34
bagpiper's outfit to his junior
prom that included
:42:37
a plaid kilt, a feathered hat
and a traditional knife
:42:41
known as a "skein dhu."
:42:43
- This T-shirt
:42:44
landed a high-school student
in court.
:42:46
She wanted to start
an anarchy club.

- The little time-bombs
that are out there ticking,
:42:51
waiting to go off. And there are
many of them in every community.
:42:54
- Students in at least seven
different states
:42:56
have been suspended or arrested
:42:58
for talking about or planning
plots of their own.
:43:01
- It's almost
like guerrilla warfare.
:43:03
You don't know
from which direction
:43:05
the enemy will be coming.

- Having a well-conceived
and strictly enforced dress code
:43:12
can dramatically improve
the safety of a school,
:43:14
and can ensure a positive
learning environment
:43:16
for everyone.
:43:17
As this student's appearance
demonstrates,
:43:20
having a lax policy about dress
makes it easy
:43:23
for a student
to conceal a weapon
:43:25
and makes it difficult
to identify intruders on campus.
:43:29
A dress code can reduce
weapons violations,
:43:32
relieve tensions between gangs,
reduce disciplinary infractions
:43:36
and generally improve
the atmosphere of the school.
:43:39
Our policy requires that
students tuck in their shirts,
:43:42
making the beltline visible
at all times.
:43:45
Our students may not wear
baggy pants
:43:48
or colours or insignias
that are commonly associated
:43:51
with gang activity.
:43:53
This policy
was a collaborative effort.
:43:56
- Yes, our children were indeed
something to fear.
