:43:01
- It's almost
like guerrilla warfare.

:43:03
You don't know
from which direction

:43:05
the enemy will be coming.

:43:11
- 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.

:44:01
They had turned
into little monsters.

:44:05
But who was to blame?
:44:07
All the experts had an answer.
:44:09
- Angry, heavy-metal subculture.
:44:12
- Where were the parents?
- Violent movies.

:44:15
- "South Park." - Video games.
- Television. - Entertainment.

:44:18
- Satan. - Cartoons.
- Films. - Society. - Toy guns.

:44:21
- Drugs.
- Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson.

:44:24
[ all ]: Marilyn Manson.
:44:27
- Marilyn Manson has cancelled
the last five dates

:44:30
of his U.S, tour out of respect
for those lost in Littleton.

:44:33
But the singer
says artists like himself

:44:36
are not the ones to blame.
:44:40
- This is perhaps
the sickest group ever promoted

:44:42
by a mainstream record company.
:44:44
"I'm not a slave
:44:47
"to a god
:44:48
"that doesn't exist"
:44:51
- After Columbine, it seemed
:44:53
that the entire focus
on why the shootings occurred

:44:56
was because the killers
:44:57
listened to Marilyn Manson.
