      When I was in HS all the farm kids carried their knives and multitools to school every day.

      One year the administration asked us to stop, but nobody listened and they didnt mention it again.

      we had no cop or ‘resource officer’ at all, in any of the schools i attended (70s-80s minnesota, rural and the cities). the only times we even saw cops at school was when they were conning parents into letting them have our fingerprints, or for what became the annual ‘DARE scare’.

      I was arrested by one freshman year. He just said, “I’m not going to hand cuff you, but don’t run because then we’ll both have a bad time.”

      But he thought the reason I was being arrested was bullshit (bringing a pocket knife to a rural school to give to a friend). Bro even picked up McDonald’s on the way to the juvenile probation office.
