Bevin: Guns Don't Kill Students; Cell Phones Kill Students

Bevin can't quit weaponize the stooopit the way the Orange Menace can, but he sure is doing his damndest.

From the Herald:

Gov. Matt Bevin on Tuesday urged representatives of the Federal Commission on School Safety to address the impact of mobile devices in the hands of young people who might also be diagnosed with mental problems and prescribed mind-altering drugs.

“We’ve got devices that are contributing significantly to a lack of sleep, lack of self worth, lack of self-esteem…. on top of that we have increasing numbers of kids on psychotropic drugs and we are not being intentional or thoughtful about the impact of those mind altering drugs…” Bevin said.
Sooooo, flooding communities with guns but taking away cell phones will stop school shootings?

Right. Got it.

School "Security" Overkill: "Diverse" Seniors Barred From Own Graduation

This isn't security; this is authoritarian racist assholes finding a new way to fuck over non-whites.

Karla Ward at the Herald:

Tanya Aguon sobbed in a live video on Facebook in which she said that her son was not permitted to walk across the stage at Bryan Station High School's graduation because he was wearing jeans and tennis shoes beneath his gown. 

Other grads, she said, were not allowed in because they were late to the ceremony, which was scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. at Rupp Arena.

The video shows several youths in green caps and gowns apparently being turned away by security guards at the door. Uniformed police officers are also shown talking with students outside Rupp.
More than 40 years ago at my high school graduation in our un-air-conditioned gym, most of us wore shorts, tank tops and flip-flops under our gowns.

Half the kids arrived after the speeches but just in time to walk across the stage.

They sky did not fall. 

This Nazi shit at schools has to stop.
