[StPaul] Taser guns at school

[CRISTY DELACRUZ]

I am APPALLED, really terrified that we've gotten to the point of using 
taser guns against students at school. Are the schools becoming prisoners 
for youth now, and we have to use "stun guns"  to subdue kids? I think it's 
bordering on criminal to treat human beings this way and I wish someone like 
the ACLU or a similar group would take this one up as a civil rights issue.

When we use weapons against kids as a means of helping them, we are really 
saying something about ourselves as a society. Youth need to be nurtured, 
guided, and shown hopeful examples of what they aspire to, not beaten into 
submission.
