Another fascist school system to avoid

...much like just about any other American school system these days!

This time it's in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

First, the school district implemented mandatory uniforms (despite being unconstitutional). The school claimed it would prevent violence. However, it was only later that a student got in trouble for plotting to kill schoolmates.

So, because this tyrannical policy failed, the school may now be expanding its tyranny by forbidding opaque backpacks.

It's a vicious cycle that's been played out countless times in recent years: A problem (whether real or perceived) is identified, authoritarian bureaucrats come up with some sweeping new restrictive policy to fight it, the problem worsens under the new policy, so more restrictive policies are proposed. The cycle is never broken.

Even if I lived in that town, I wouldn't let my kids anywhere near that school system.

Naturally, Nazis have flooded the Pennsylvania website to defend the school district's fascism. That's because they're Nazis, I guess, so that's their job.
