100,000 Protestors... Angry mobs of students...

I'm only in support of the no fires policy on school property trumping the free speech rights of students. Let them shout 'Down with Mexico' all during math class for all I care. But I can seriously understand a no-setting-fires rule applying to ALL circumstances.

The same might go for hospitals, post-offices, bus depots. Protest fires cannot just happen anywhere simply because they are protests. Fire poses a danger, and its use must be restricted under certain circumstances ... at school being one of them, imo.

On the other hand, I am fervently against the practice of locking down the schools so that kids cannot participate in protests. This has happened all over Los Angeles this past week, and I believe it is a violation of students' civil rights.

All in all, school administrators seem to be behaving like schmucks all over the southwest.
