1: That was before the yearly school massacres. But we tend to forget about those after a couple weeks.
2: Because the school doesnt want to get sued by the parents of the child that loses.
3: They dont use Ritalin anymore afaik. Know anybody with ADD? Or Bipolar? Or other things that were poo-pooed in the past?
4: I doubt it, unless there is proof of other things.
5. See #2.
6. Better for the rest of us and others that take the time to learn English. Pedro will because he doesnt want to pick strawberries or mow lawns.

When you live in a society where people will sue because a school has a Harry Potter book, or the Wizard of Oz, the schools are between a rock and a hard place. In both cases its the typical right wing Christian nutjobs that think Hogwarts is promoting witchcraft. The ones that push for tough-on-crime also tend to be right wing. Just dont be an Arab kid with a Timex on a box. There are no good guys here and both the left and the right are causing problems.
